" it is unequivocal that exposure to glyphosate produces important alterations in the structure and function of the nervous system of humans, rodents, fish, and invertebrates."
Glyphosate has also been linked to gluten intolerance: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3945755/
Maybe at some point, all the “gluten free” products will switch to “glyphosate free”. Until then, I’ve been buying imported flour from Italy, where its use is significantly more regulated than here in the US, although not entirely banned.
So following this logic, am I a plant?
Who told you to say that‽
Who do you work for!?!
Sometimes I have this weird theory that RFK Jr is really like a Dr. Zoidberg type alien in a skin suit. He just kind of guesses at how human anatomy works because he isn’t human himself and isn’t professional enough to get a real education on the subject.
“I took the liberty of fertilizing your caviar”
– RFK jr
At least Zoidberg means well, RFK Jr. has more in common with the brain slugs or the gas station egg salad sandwiches
If it’s his brain worms speaking, that would explain a lot.
It’s hard to say what’s more farfetched, that he is a Zoidbergian alien, or that The Kennedys were just raised that far from any level of anything resembling actual human reality?
heredetary power is a form of abuse.
Eerily accurate
well actually the aliens in the MIB controlling the meat suit.
doesn’t harm organic tissue
Which is totally why Bayer has settled their lawsuit for several billions of dollars over claims that it causes lymphoma.
Edit: also, plants are organic tissue.
Also, the stomach’s microbiome isn’t plants…
Bacteria is not in the kingdom plantae.
Your stomach micro biome is plants.
That’s interesting. I wonder where the sunlight gets in to my stomach for all those plants to photosynthesize.
Rfk seems to think the sun shines out his asshole.
He thinks so, but, no that’s just a mysterious emissive liquid that he drinks every morning.
“We all need sunshine”
That’s why you’re sick. You need to constantly be in the sun without sunscreen, look at RFK jr’s healthy glow as a good example of prime health.
If you’re not feeding your tummy plants with the sunlight it needs you’re not living healthy.
your sick
your not feeding
your not living
“You’re” means “you are”. “Your” means “belonging to you”.
Thanks, I forget to proofread my comments
“my sick?”
Vampires are about to start a protest.
hes overbaked from the tanning salon.
You eat it, duh!
Drink Capri Sun and sunny d
Use the same covid UV lamp as was inserted in 2020.
That’s why you have to occasionally stick your arse in the air on a sunny day. Do it near a school or local park. You’ll be fine, if anyone asks tell them JFK said to.

Non organic plants at that
Funny that in Spanish it’s called “flora intestinal”, not “fauna intestinal”. Always though that it’s a but of a misnomer.
Intestinal flora is a common phrase in English, too. Or “gut flora”. It’s one of those old 19th century scientific phrases which has stuck around.
Like this, err, gentleman (who apparently wants to drag us back to that past) we used to believe gut bacteria to be plant-based. Science caught up, but the term has had sticking power. It seems to be a favorite of marketers of probiotic supplements.
“Microbiota” or just the straightforward “gut bacteria” would be more accurate and modern. But of course, everyone except for this guy already knows that.
Did he read/hear about gut flora somewhere, and get his eggs scrambled?
there is valid science in gut microbiome, the Pseudoscience take on is, the "leaky gut, or inflammatory diet bs.
We also just call it “gut flora” in english too
Funny that you believe RFK Jr believes in bacteria. Dude doesn’t believe in germ theory
Well it’s only a theory has anyone actually met a germ?
Germs are just dirty microscopes. Have you ever seen one with the naked eye?
There’s a whole country
Your stomach microbiome is plants
Which is why I spend a solid 3 hours a day facing the sun with my mouth held wide open. Gotta let my tummy plants photosynthesize somehow.
You say that as a joke but I’m pretty sure this clown is also one of the quacks who regularly talked about the “health benefits” of butthole tanning.
I once saw him (in person) give a drunken, sloppy, rambling speech to a bunch of high schoolers back in 1999. Calling him a clown is an insult to clowns.
Awfully big words, for someone who doesn’t believe in germ theory.
holup, what? This guy is working on Victorian era medical knowledge? Is his idol Robert Liston??
Theodoric of York.
You know, medicine is not an exact science, but we are learning all the time. Why, just fifty years ago, they thought a disease like your daughter’s was caused by demonic possession or witchcraft. But nowadays we know that Isabelle is suffering from an imbalance of bodily humors, perhaps caused by a toad or a small dwarf living in her stomach.
It’s always gratifying to see another “old person” in the comments. 😃
I’m not old. I work out in my jeans.
Who would’ve predicted modern toxic bro culture leading to the resurfacing of miasma theory? But at this point I wouldn’t be surprised to hear him start talking about imbalances of black bile and phlegm.
What I think he’s trying to say is that Glyphosate affects the shikimate pathway, which is a biological pathway in plants. This doesn’t exist in human cells, but it does exist in our gut microbiota.
We also know now that Glyphosate is a glycine analogue and can displace glycine anywhere in protein synthesis, with unknown effects. It’s also likely an endocrine disrupter.
You’re giving him far too much credit and help being cogent…
It always puzzles me why otherwise intelligent people go so far to make excuses for morons who obviously don’t know what they’re talking about.
Is he wrong then for banning its use?
It’s found in plants and bacteria so it’s not actually exclusively plants which is why in most countries you’re not allowed to use it as a weed killer.
You’re saying a lot here and I’m sure it’s valid and interesting but let’s make this easy: If it’s not food, it shouldn’t go in the food supply unless the benefits to consumers outweigh costs.
But you’re talking about US policy, so the actual metric is that it shouldn’t go in the food supply unless the benefits to corporations outweigh the costs.
this is the best response ✅
One with frontotemporal dementia that has rapidly shrinking brain, the other one with half a brain eaten by the worm… in what fucking timeline do we live… feels like Rick and Morty episode… fuck. me.
destroyed by HEROIN worms.
Heroin-fueled brain worms, allegedly contracted from (knowingly and voluntarily) eating rotten meat on a semi regular basis*
he did train an falcon to bring him RATS to eat.
The timeline where Americans collectively lose their minds and make shit loads of money uploading youtube videos about it.
As if denying millions of Americans access to proper healthcare wasn’t enough, they appointed an anti-science, anti-vaxx idiot as if to make sure even more harm would be inflicted on them.
RFK has never been about science.
He was a paid antivax advocate, for money, now he’s a paid glyphosate advocate, again for money.

Or, it’s just an excuse for concentration camps. Great.
Ofc the digestive flora is plants. Man the level of stupidity. Just as dumb as the orange dumbass talking about asylum seekers being release from mental asylums… What a time to be alive.
Despite the world flora, the digestive system is largely populated by bacteria, not plants
Yes, I am fully aware of that contrary to RFK. It is kind of sad to see people with no credentials running everything…
I’m honestly not sure if OP knew this or was expressing dismay at the idea
He contradicts himself even in his own wacky theories
Considering wacky theories have a tendency to contradict each other (and itself) it would be far more impressive if his wacky theories weren’t contradictory.
Of course science is political. Knowledge is power and all power systems are political.
But ignoring philosophy, Science is a charity. By in large they must beg for their money. You don’t suppose that the people providing the money have any influence?
And I’m not talking about junk science, biased studies, or even fraud. A perfectly run study may still be political simply because it was chosen for funding over something else.
It’s a little more complex than that. Some things:

- https://massivesci.com/articles/chaos-in-the-brickyard-comic-matteo-farinella/
It’s a structural problem, but still the same problem plaguing the rest of society at the moment.
By in large
Everything is political, and there has never been a time that proves that better than now.
The fact that all of a sudden writing with a Sharpie is a political statement is baffling.
