-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Fucking god dammit, Americans just can't stop putting lead in food. We love it, we crave it, there is no true end to it. Just a few months ago some applesauce companies got in trouble for using lead as sweetener. This is in a nation that took over Hawaii for sugar fields and subsidizes corn syrup to such an absurd degree that we're collectively assigned diabetic at birth. But no, let's add more fucking lead. I refuse to believe there is some accidental means by which lead can reach modern food production. We've known of its dangers for so long, it'd be so easy to just not have lead around our food, but we truly can't help ourselves.
One of the recalled brands is, I kid you not, "Supreme Tradition", sold at Dollar Tree.
Other 5 are La Fiesta, sold at La Superior and SuperMercados; Marcum, sold at Save A Lot; MTCI, sold at SF Supermarket; Swad, sold at Patel Brothers; and El Chilar, sold at La Joya Morelense.
This has to be a targeted attack on poor people.
There are more guns than Americans in the US
Most Americans are not aware that shooting spreads lead all their body unless you clean it
If you bring this up, you’ll just be made fun of for being a pansy and that they’ve been shooting for fiddy years and nothings wrong with their noggin
I know indoor ranges are super unhealthy for that reason. What do you mean by "clean it" - if I go shooting outside, should I wear a mask or take colloidal silver or what?
wash your hands after touching a lead bullet? usually the surface isn't even lead tho lol
Wash your hands after cleaning or reloading the gun or wear gloves while doing so and don't put your hands near your mouth until you do. Inhaling lead dust and smoke over an extended period is the main reason gun ranges can be a problem, which seems to be could be solved with good ventilation, or failing that literally any face mask or even a rag over your mouth. The elevated lead levels seem to be mostly in employees at gun ranges although people who spend a LOT of time at indoor shooting ranges also have had similar levels. Also like, a lil lead here and there is fine, consistent and chronic exposure is where the trouble comes from. Aldo it can't be absorbed through the skin at all, it's safe to bathe in water from lead pipes. If you do ever need to drink from one run cold water for a good 30 seconds first, it's the water coating the pipes that gets all leaded up while the tap isn't in use so you can flush it out with fresh flowing water and be fine as well. Tbh, you're probably perfectly safe already.
It's the only thing Americans crave more than microplastics.
We're just like Rome fr
