Hour 1

Ban the 85 Banned Pesticides Moms Across America has launched a national campaign urging the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to prohibit the use of 85 pesticides that remain legal in the United States but have already been banned in countries including those in the European Union, Brazil, and China. The organization criticizes the EPA for basing regulatory decisions on outdated or industry-funded studies while ignoring independent long-term research that examines the real-world effects of complete chemical formulations. Among the chemicals highlighted is paraquat, linked to Parkinson’s disease and banned in over 70 countries, yet still widely used in the U.S. Similarly, glyphosate, another key target of the campaign, has been associated with a range of health concerns, including reproductive and neurological disorders, as well as nutrient depletion in crops. The campaign links exposure to these pesticides with alarming health statistics in the U.S., such as the rising rates of autism, infertility, and childhood cancer. Rather than substituting one harmful chemical for another, Moms Across America calls for a systemic shift toward organic and regenerative agriculture. The group emphasizes the need for urgent policy reform to align U.S. standards with those of other developed nations and protect public health by eliminating these hazardous substances from food production and the environment.

As Democrats Pathetically Bash Kennedy, the Movement he Inspired Continues to Rack Up Successes Despite persistent and often dismissive attacks from the Democratic Party establishment, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s independent political movement continues to gain national momentum through a series of grassroots successes, growing media visibility, and expanding voter outreach. The article outlines how establishment Democrats have increasingly resorted to ad hominem attacks, attempts to marginalize Kennedy’s campaign, and public dismissals of his legitimacy, yet these efforts have largely failed to curb his influence. Instead, Kennedy’s messaging—centered on government accountability, personal liberty, and institutional reform—has resonated with a diverse segment of the electorate disillusioned with the two-party system. The piece details recent wins, including ballot access victories in multiple states, increasing small-donor fundraising, and his campaign’s strong digital engagement metrics, suggesting that his supporters are mobilized and energized. It also emphasizes the cross-partisan appeal of Kennedy’s platform, which blends populist skepticism of corporate influence with environmental advocacy and vaccine transparency. The article argues that mainstream media outlets and party elites underestimate the depth of Kennedy’s appeal and the structural weaknesses of the Democratic Party’s narrative. In framing Kennedy as a political underdog with enduring influence, the article concludes that the more he is attacked by establishment figures, the more credibility and support he seems to gain among politically unaffiliated or alienated voters.

Question of The Day!

Hi Super Don-
Question for RSB and Lisa Rooney
Just wondering if someone is allergic to jasmine, iris (orris root), and lilac- (like me) – would their homeopathic forms be safe to take, or try, might they help with desensitization, or should they be avoided? Any wise thoughts?
Thanks much,
Diane

Hour 2

New Dietary Guidelines Will Recommend Americans ‘Eat Whole Food,’ Says RFK Jr. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced that the upcoming U.S. dietary guidelines, set to be released before August 2025, will be significantly condensed to just four pages, emphasizing the consumption of whole foods. This initiative aims to simplify the current 164-page guidelines and make nutritional advice more accessible to the public. Kennedy criticized the previous guidelines for being overly influenced by the food industry, citing examples like sugary cereals being promoted as healthy options. He asserted that the new guidelines would focus on straightforward advice: “eat whole food, eat the food that’s good for you.” The revised guidelines are part of a broader effort to reform America’s food system, despite the Department of Health and Human Services’ limited authority over food policy, which is primarily managed by the Department of Agriculture. Kennedy has received support from Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins and President Donald Trump, particularly in efforts to eliminate synthetic food dyes and revamp nutrition standards. Additionally, Kennedy stated that the Department of Health and Human Services will investigate food additives and consider labeling requirements indicating their presence in packaging. The new guidelines are expected to influence federal nutrition and school lunch programs, aiming to improve public health outcomes by promoting whole, unprocessed foods.

Oklahoma just made history: Doctors can now legally prescribe carrots instead of costly pills Oklahoma has enacted groundbreaking legislation allowing doctors to prescribe fresh produce, such as carrots, as a form of medical treatment covered by Medicaid. The “Food is Medicine Act,” signed into law on May 10, 2025, enables healthcare providers to issue prescriptions for locally-grown, nutrient-dense foods to combat chronic diseases like diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. Starting July 1, 2025, Medicaid will cover various services under this act, including nutrition counseling, meal programs, grocery provisions, and case management to ensure patients adhere to their prescribed diets. The legislation prioritizes the use of locally-sourced produce, directing funds to community-based organizations and local farmers, thereby supporting the state’s agricultural economy. This approach aims to address Oklahoma’s high rates of diet-related illnesses by shifting focus from pharmaceutical interventions to preventive nutrition-based strategies. Proponents argue that investing in fresh food prescriptions can lead to significant healthcare savings by reducing the need for expensive medications and hospitalizations. The initiative also serves as a potential model for other states, demonstrating how integrating food-based interventions into healthcare can improve patient outcomes and support local economies. Critics, however, caution about the implementation challenges, including ensuring consistent access to quality produce and measuring the long-term effectiveness of such programs.

Bankrupt 23andMe to be bought by pharmaceutical company Regeneron for $256 million Regeneron Pharmaceuticals has agreed to acquire the bankrupt genetic testing company 23andMe for $256 million, with the transaction expected to close in the third quarter of 2025, pending court and regulatory approvals. This acquisition follows 23andMe’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing in March 2025, which was precipitated by declining demand for its ancestry testing kits and a significant data breach in 2023 that compromised the genetic information of approximately 7 million users. Regeneron’s purchase includes 23andMe’s core assets, notably its extensive genetic database of over 15 million customers, but excludes its telehealth division, Lemonaid Health, which is slated for discontinuation. To address privacy concerns, Regeneron has pledged to uphold 23andMe’s existing privacy policies and comply with all relevant data protection laws. A court-appointed overseer will monitor the handling of sensitive genetic data to ensure compliance and transparency. The acquisition is part of Regeneron’s strategic initiative to enhance its capabilities in genetic research and personalized medicine, leveraging 23andMe’s vast repository of genetic information to inform drug discovery and development. Despite the challenges faced by 23andMe, including the resignation of co-founder Anne Wojcicki and a significant reduction in workforce, the company will continue to operate as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Regeneron, maintaining its consumer genome services without interruption. This move underscores the growing importance of genetic data in the pharmaceutical industry and raises ongoing discussions about data privacy and ethical considerations in the use of personal genetic information.

Dum Dums Lollipops Maker Will Not Stop Using Artificial Dyes The Spangler Candy Company, manufacturer of Dum Dums lollipops, has announced its decision to continue using artificial dyes in its products, despite increasing pressure from the U.S. government and health advocates to eliminate synthetic food colorings. CEO Kirk Vashaw stated that the company has utilized artificial dyes for approximately 50 years and believes them to be safe for consumption. He emphasized that there are currently no regulations mandating the removal of these dyes and that the company has not reached any agreements to discontinue their use. This stance comes amid a broader movement led by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the Food and Drug Administration to encourage food manufacturers to replace synthetic dyes with natural alternatives, citing potential health risks associated with artificial colorings. While some companies, such as In-N-Out Burger, have begun phasing out artificial dyes in response to these concerns, Spangler maintains that consumer demand for the vibrant colors provided by synthetic dyes remains strong. The company’s decision highlights the complexities and challenges involved in altering long-standing manufacturing practices, especially in the absence of regulatory mandates. It also underscores the ongoing debate within the food industry regarding the safety and necessity of artificial additives, as well as the balance between consumer preferences and public health initiatives. As discussions continue, Spangler’s position reflects a broader resistance among some manufacturers to voluntary changes without legislative compulsion.
