Brain 🪱 guy asks 'Why are there Fruit Loops in this country?'

A question I ask myself every day since the year 2000.




"Why do we have Fruit Loops in this country that have 18 or 19 ingredients and you go to Canada and it’s got two or three?" ..

End snip

A quote from the interview.

https://www.comicsands.com/rfk-jr-entire-departments-fda-2669628497.html

OK, so he's really concerned about why there are a bazillion ingredients in American Fruit Loops when foreign Fruit Loops only have 2. Rather than do research into why, he's just gonna fire everyone and close the nutrition department at the FDA. A fruit loopy move if you ask me.

asking why there are fruit loops in this country. I think Trump will give him the boot soon enough. Magats are not going to give up their cheesy snacks and fruit loops.

he'd know that Canadian Fruit Loops actually have over 20 ingredients. But, hey! It sounds good, right? And, if one of those alleged three ingredients was cyanide or arsenic, who cares? It's only one of only three ingredients. And, they're all fine with this shit. We are truly in the Idiocracy.

Don't get me wrong--our neighbors to the north have the envy of healthcare, but the FDA is not incompetent. At least our Fruit Loops look healthy and preserved.

This is the classic, MAGAT hypocritical behavior. Bitch and moan about government overreach and as soon as they hit office they are blocking women's healthcare, opening mandatory birthing centers, and force-feeding stale cereal to the public.

If we left anything on the table, it would be going after brainworm and his stupid quest to fuck up our Fruit Loops. Democrats keep our cereals sane!

As if destroying the FDA, rather than reforming it, is somehow going to get the crap out of our cereal and the rest of our food supply. Which, as we all know, isn't going to happen. Well, all of us who aren't ignorant, gullible MAGAts, anyway.

and there is something to us permitting high fructose corn syrup in our food that many places don't, but the first is due to us wanting our food to be pretty, the second is farmers.
