I wish the submission title said “claims” and not “reminds”. it’s not as though this shit is actually lawful, not according to our fundamental legal document the Constitution.

well I mean are they drinking less than they used to do, or are they drinking less than the average person? (sorry, I know I could just read the article myself, putting kids to bed)

edit: they’re drinking less than they themselves used to do

just trying to help you understand our reading of the guy’s remark.

ding ding ding

it… it has, did you glance at the article or just vibing with the other commentators here that hadn’t heard of leadsafemama and yet are all experts on the topic?

yeah, kids toothpaste is especially worrisome if it contains toxins because kids can’t exactly spit out their toothpaste until they get to a certain age. they just consume it, so kids toothpaste is supposed to be safe to consume.

scientific proof like sending the toothpastes to a lab to independently verify leadsafemama’s results?

I really wish journalists would write, for example, “they say that they want to return it to the mission” rather than “they want to”. They do this with Trump all the time. (“he believes tariffs are a powerful tool” - the fuck he does)

The context that you’re missing here is that puberty, especially the testosterone-fueled one, is consequential whereas delaying puberty is not. Also, your working concept of “what percentage of people are going to sign up for hormone replacement or gender-affirming surgery and then regret it later” is just not in line with reality. Regret does happen, of course, but it is rare.

Anyone’s allowed to talk, and media companies talk about whatever people will click on.
