    To my idiot fellow Americans. When you buy fresh fruits and vegetables, wash and soak them for approximately 10 minutes in water with baking soda. It will help clean your food from pesticides and foreign elements.😮

    We definitely need less money going towards the same ol sh!t

    I don't have Disney+ or Prime because you can get basically anything they make, anywhere else.

    Just have the one main service (for me, Netflix) I enjoy. And watch things for free if I run out

    My grandfather was an epidemiologist with the WHO, specialized in malaria and lived in badly affected regions sometimes for several years at a time. I lived with my grandparents in Nepal for over a year in early 90s, and still remember vividly how all produce was to be soaked in iodine solution for several hours before consumption, without fail. It didn't affect the taste, btw. Who says you can't relive your childhood… 😒

    Thoroughly washing produce might not be enough if the water the plant has taken in is contaminated. Cooking is the only surefire way to kill/remove the harmful bacteria. John Oliver did an episode of Last Week Tonight about food safety, can't recommend it highly enough 😁

    I’d say there’s more overlap between the industries mentioned and the MAGA movement than we cared to admit, because a lot of people are profit driven. But the wellness trend in this country has also covered a lot of left-leaning individuals as well.

    Why not focus on how products become infected or contaminated during their production process? Something is inherently wrong with the production process is creating the need for a government inspection of foods.

    Nobody else has noticed how hundreds of new hospitals, clinics, and medical centers have been popping up as frequently as Starbucks and churches all over the country over the past ten years or so? Not saying it’s necessarily directly related, but…….

    The way you advertise ground news gives the false narrative conservatives depend on that "both sides are terrible, best off do nothing." No, I will now be subscribing to a conservative apologist app.

    Solution grow your own food, sadly that is time consuming and not everyone has land to grow. This would be the best way to know the source, avoid chemicals and add nutrients to your soil! No one can trust anything anyone!

    Almost daily our food has a recall Removing oversight is causing this. Environmental exposure to disease while ruining our planet. Our environment should be protected so we all don’t die or become infected!

    Leeja, I love your videos but unlike other well made political videos: I can’t confidently send this to my Deaf mom because the captions haven’t been revised. Please.

    I'd encourage people to go vegetarian tbh. Actually, maybe vegan, given how many people milk used to kill before regulation. You can (and should) wash your veggies, but I wouldn't trust animal products under this admin. Or buy halal, maybe. Stay safe out there :/

    … and Trump still doesn't get why the EU doesn't want to make food imports from the US easier. This video featured one of my favourite all-time Leeja rants… never stop!

    Look up HACCP protocols, y'all. It's the baseline food safety standards commonly used by retailers, and was originally developed by NASA to eliminate food borne illness among astronauts

    they're making food and water unsafe because weak poor people are easier to control and manipulate if your family is dying from illness and starvation we'll accept slave wages to save them. this is an evil tactic to force us into being slaves to the 1%
