This evening my uncle messaged me to let me know that Moms Across America commissioned testing that found glyphosate and heavy metal contamination in Girl Scout cookies. To be fair, he did just buy some from my kid (no refunds!) and I understand the concern about food contamination, but something is off. What’s the deal with Moms Across America? Why is their CEO a vaccine skeptic hoping to get hired by RFK Jr.? It seems like an organic food/anti-vax lobbying organization, but I wonder if there’s more to it than that. Is she just that effective as an individual mom influencer?

Edit: the screenshot isn’t uploading correctly, so I changed it to a link to the Pixelfed post I originally made.

    • 3 eggs
    • 4 cups whole grain flour
    • 8 tbsp butter, melted
    • 3 cups brown sugar
    • 1/8 tsp water
    • 2 tbsp baking soda
    • 1 bottle (8oz) vanilla
    • 3/4 tsp lead powder (organic!)
    • A dash of mercury (to taste)

    Mix ingredients together well, roll into 1" balls, and place on a greased (ideally barium complex for best flavor) cookie sheet. Bake at 350° Freedom Units for 20 minutes, and allow to cool before selling.
