No.  The opposite.  We just don't call things cults that are clearly cults anymore.   The Internet is where every brainwashing stupid cult recruits.  See either major political party, the magic of essential oils and/or vitamins, Cowboys fans, and of course QANon and its many spinoffs and copycats.

Stop being lazy and buy the big jars of applesauce.

Regulation, schemegulation. The free market will sort this out. People will stop buying lead contaminated applesauce once they die from lead poisoning, which will cause applesauce companies that taint their product with lead to either go out of business from a drop in demand or to reduce their prices to a point that makes lead-tainted applesauce more affordable for a less discerning market segment, such as people who have no income after becoming disabled by lead poisoning.

Y'all see a story about 60 American children poisoned and brain damaged from lead.  That's glass half-empty shit.

Look at the upside: we have now identified 60 future rising stars in Congress.

You know, you grow up and live your life thinking you can trust Ecuadorian applesauce companies, then something like this happens. What is the world coming to?

You probably prefer yellow mustard over Grey Poupon.

Just more trash being created. Buy some little reusable containers.

From the article:

U.S. and Ecuadorian authorities have traced the cinnamon to Negasmart, which supplies Austrofoods, the food manufacturer in Ecuador. Ecuadorian authorities say that Negasmart’s cinnamon exceeded the country’s allowed levels of lead. According to the FDA, Negasmart, which supplied the cinnamon, is under an “Ecuadorian administrative sanctions process.”

My parents were strict sticks in the mud but even they never stooped to that level. Put some cheese puffs, a sandwich, and a couple of oreos in there, for fucks sake.

Hey Jim. Why don’t you go by James?

[Hermanator 7181]

Shop smart. Shop Negasmart. 

You got that?!!
