Can RFK Jr Make America Healthy Again?

Image
     Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been chosen by President Trump to oversee the Department of Health and Human Services. Robert Francis Kennedy Jr. or RFK Jr. as he’s affectionately nicknamed, hails from the very promininent and politically involved Kennedy family. He has a great legacy to uphold as the Kennedy family has so strongly and positively impacted the historical and political landscape of the United States. That family has experienced so much tragedy amongst its members but they’ve managed to overcome. The matriarch and patriarch of the Kennedy family, Joseph and Rose must be smiling down with joy about the impact that their entire lineage has made on society. RFK Jr. is an environmentalist that has been a leading figure in the mission to protect the planet and could be considered a Godfather of environmentalism due to all of his environmentally focused work and generous efforts to create change within the field.

New Study Reveals Non Organic Cereals and Granola Bars Are Full of GLYPHOSATE WEEDKILLER!

A study recently completed by EWG (Environmental Working Group) found alarming levels of glyphosate on breakfast cereals and other foods from companies such as General Mills and Gerber. Glyphosate is a weedkiller that is produced by Bayer-Monsanto. Many of the cereals found to have troubling levels of weedkiller on them are made by food manufacturer, General Mills. Popular cereals such as Cheerios and Honey nut Cheerios had the highest amounts of glyphosate. Over twenty oat based cereals and snack products were tested and almost all contained levels higher than EWG’s health and safety benchmark. EWG’s safety benchmark is 160 ppb (parts per billion). Anything above this number is considered to be toxic and dangerous if consumed. Honey Nut Cheerios had an astounding number of 833 ppb of glyphosate, while Nature’s Valley Granola bars contained 566 ppb level.



The World Health Organization has classified glyphosate as carcinogenic to human beings. California’s Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment classified glyphosate as a “known carcinogen” in 2017. There has been quite a few high profile cases against Monsanto, the producer of roundup weed and grass killer, which has led to juries awarding over 2 billion dollars to customers who developed cancer after exposure to pesticides and weedkiller. Glyphosate is sprayed on genetically modified oats, soybeans and corn. The only safe bet to avoid exposure to glyphosate is to refrain from consuming food products with these ingredients unless the products are USDA certified organic. The below chart contains the amounts of glyphosate found in the specific food products made by General Mills, Gerber and Mead Johnson:

As health conscious consumers, we want to urge governing U.S. agencies such as EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) to set and enforce standards so that food manufacturers such as General Mills will stop using chemicals such as glyphosate and other pesticides ad herbicides on crops. Let your voice be heard through this petition, started by EWG to help get these pesticides out of our environment. You may sign the petition by clicking here: https://act.ewg.org/

Fenty Hair Line Full Product Review

Image
When I received an email from Fenty Beauty that Rihanna was dropping a hair line, I was super stoked and ready. Like literally jumping up and down. That's how much I love the Fenty Beauty brand.  Listen, Fenty Beauty and Fenty Skin have GREAT products! When Fenty Beauty dropped several years ago, I can remember the advertising so well.  It offered and showcased a huge variety of foundation shades and proved itself to be an inclusive line with high performing, quality and clean products. Everybody--- and I mean everybody--- was talking about that drop!  It's literally set the blueprint for other cosmetic companies which have tried to copy and also carry more shades for darker skin tones.  Though I've used Fenty Beauty/Skin several times over the last several years, I'd say my current fave from Fenty Beauty is the lip balm. It's a luxurious lip balm with a unique shape that makes application so fun! I purchased that twice already and just lost the last one. Other repe...
