It's kind of infuriating how the EU can make some of the most incredible rules that actually benefit society, and at the same time make the worst possible decisions in other areas. 😮‍💨

When you start as a good person, you likely end up a good politician (with ethics and values that benefit your people).

Most politicians start as bad people, and just become worse.

Trying to ban a celebration of love. 🤡🤡🤡

These politicians should have become comedians, or floormats, or anything useful.

And their stock is still too damn high!


How many bombs did he drop on Russia? Because he said he would end the war against Ukraine.

Ramaphosa was right to ask "I'd like to know where that is", when the "evidence" was shown to him live.

Other world leaders should be prepared to challenge Trump right to his face when he fabricates lies like this in those pathetic ambush attempts.

I thought the invasion would end 80 days ago. Trump said so. 🤭🤡🤡🤡

Take the money and tell him to fuck off. He's a con artist. Have him lose at his own game.

Better to simply call them "the states", because unity evaporated a while ago.

Other countries: "No. Thank you." 🤭🤭🤭🖕🖕🖕

Defending countries should NEVER be forced to demilitarize.

The other 27% must not read the news, eh?

Even if you believe the US is an ally to whatever country you're from (outside of Russia, of course), he's proven to be untrustworthy and unreliable.

Thank you!

As a Canadian, I have no problem supporting our EU friends.

And to be honest, just looking at the list you can tell that the ethics within those companies are completely different than what you find with the American alternatives.

Even without a dictator leading the States, buying European would still be better. 🤭

Pretty wild, actually!

Yeah, let's ignore that Trump is an adulterer and rapist, Pope.

you don’t say “who cares it’s already bad for you, lol.” and then moralize about how if everyone doesn’t consume the exact same substances you do, they somehow deserve it.

I think you got that wrong.

The idea to share this information **is to empower someone** to make an informed decision about the potential consequences that their actions could have on their health.

I can't possibly blame someone for not knowing better, as I'm certain that their local wine shop doesn't put cancer warning labels on the bottles.

The thing about carcinogenic compounds, which are also toxins, is it’s entirely about dosage.

Agreed. The scientific consensus is that there is no safe lower limit for alcohol.

The human body can handle a lot more ethanol than pesticides...

To clarify, synthetic pesticides are quite harmful to humans and animals. Biopesticides, found naturally in many plant species, are quite safe by comparison. And plants containing natural toxins (i.e. fiddleheads, red kidney beans, stone fruits, etc.) are quite safe to consume when properly prepared.

Indeed, you are still benefiting from the consumption of those fruits and vegetables.

If you can, stay away from man-made pesticides in all food sources.

My point was that going with organic wine (to not have as many pesticides) won't stop wine from being harmful *at any dose*.

Basically, cancer from ethanol consumption shouldn’t be much of a concern.

Well.... I'm sure nobody agrees with that. Alcohol consumption is a leading preventable cause of cancer death in U.S, with that study concluding that "there is no safe threshold for alcohol and cancer risk.".

I hate to break it to wine-drinkers, but alcohol is a group 1 carcinogen. If the risk of Parkinson's due to pesticide use scares you, you won't get away from cancer by going with organic wine.

Even the WHO isn't afraid to say that No level of alcohol consumption is safe for our health, so the choice is in your hands.
