Glyphosate Controversy: Bayer's Cover-Up
https://www.naturalhealth365.com/bayers-toxic-ploy-poisoning-farmers-while-posing-as-their-ally.html
Bayer, a multinational enterprise, claims to stand in solidarity with America’s hardworking farmers. However, the company’s latest public relations effort doesn’t align with those who grow our food.
The unsavory truth is that Bayer is selling toxic materials to the farmers we depend on for healthy food. This disconnect between Bayer’s public image and its actions raises serious questions about the company’s commitment to agricultural sustainability and public health.

“Paris-Nantes is less than two hours by #TGV (high speed train). I re-re-renew my proposal of a TGV offer adapted to your specifications, for our common interest: security, speed, services and eco-mobility,” Krakovitch wrote.

San Juan Summit ~ 8 Prominent Doctors and Scientists Engage in a Remarkable Exchange
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4IeVy7jQoz0
'Panel of #doctors and #scientists convene in a remarkable #open #forum about #effective #early #treatment and evaluate the current #one-size-fits-all approach to #Covid #treatment. While the conversation was far-ranging, it often hit on controversial topics around the #causes, #prevention #strategies, and #treatments for Covid. The #goal of the #panel was to be a first step toward having more #in-depth and #open #conversations around the #pandemic. While some of the #conversation veered into the #controversy around #vaccinations, many of the doctors strongly emphasized they do not oppose #vaccines.'

Celebrities posing #naked while #pregnant began as a fiercely defiant and provocative stunt. #Demi_Moore’s 1991 Vanity Fair cover—an undeniably confident woman fully #nude, cradling her pregnant belly—was #progressive in its mere existence: the overt #sexualization and #celebration of a #bodyImage that the #American public had, generally, been taught not to think of as #sexy.
It was a transgressive moment in its #controversy (in 1991, many more #conservative people were none-too-pleased to see a nude pregnant #woman staring at them from the shelves of the grocery store cashier aisle), but also in how it paved the way for the image to eventually become #uncontroversial almost entirely; to be #normalized.
(Go figure something as #natural as a pregnant woman’s body needs to be normalized. #Humans are awful.)
In the decades since Moore’s cover, the nude pregnant #photo has almost become a rudimentary rite of passage for celebrities, especially those whose careers were built on—and at times #exploited—their sexuality. #Christina_Aguilera, #Jessica_Simpson, #Britney_Spears, #Nia_Long, #Cindy_Crawford, #Claudia_Schiffer, #Mariah_Carey, #Monica_Bellucci: the nude photo shoot evolved from #progressive act of #rebellion to an #essential part of the Pregnant Celebrity Publicity Tour. As essential, even, as the “Check Out My Post-Baby Bod!” photo shoot that would typically follow.
It’s easy—and at this point #lazy and #unoriginal—to #attack any news Kardashian makes as a #shameless ploy for more press. The fact of the matter is that Kardashian has built a #career as an expert #manipulator of a #realityTV genre that’s mandated that #media take its stars #seriously, because the many #fans of these shows already do.
She’s an aficionado of #branding, a polarizing #fashion maven, and, after years in the public eye, a bona fide #cultural #influencer.
As such, Kardashian’s treatment of her #celebrity spotlight has #matured along with our #perception of her #influence. She’s no longer the #girl made famous by the #sexTape, but a #person with a #platform who is given a megaphone to speak about #feminism, #sexism, #sexualizing, and, god help us, real things.
There’s something sort of #admirable about this #evolution.
