News
Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

The EWG promoted vaccine/autism links at one point. I'm not suggesting that it's worthless, but it's not infallible.
This CNN article pretty much says that maybe if we love them enough, the president and the HHS secretary will save us from the machinations of the evil food empire, not by getting the FDA to function, but by "sweeping reform."
The truth becomes more expensive every day.
I mean, I half agree with the reporting. I have an unusual allergy. It does not show up on the list of allergens that they list because like, I've met three people my entire life who share my allergy and I've met a lot of people. It sometimes shows up in bouillon and some places include bouillon as an ingredient. And then just list "spices". Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck I hate that, I don't want to get sick just because you are ashamed you don't make your own broth. So yeah, even if I don't agree with their arguments, I agree with their conclusion that even the tiniest ingredient needs to be listed.
Re: the bull testicles, do they come pre-seperated from the bull or do I need to really upgrade my medical and dental insurance first?
"The only way to be sure your bull testicles are free-range organic whole food goodness is to raise the bulls yourself, which is why we're procuring 1,000 male calves for 4H clubs around the nation" -- RFK jr., probably
