Honestly, how long will it be before this insane FDA/RFK Jr. cabal tells us that moderate smoking is ok because it makes people feel good? Because that's exactly what they're now saying about alcohol.

This podcast episode was an eye-opener to me. Wellness influencers and far-right pundits like Tucker Carlson are selling nicotine pouches as panaceas.

Mallory DeMille returns to report on one of the most mind-numbing wellness hacks of recent years: nicotine. Apparently, patches don’t just give you energy, they’re also good for…”spike proteins,” cancer, and autism?

@petergleick you would not believe the number of alcoholic middle aged men I know that got SO fucking mad when the RECOMMENDED daily drinks was changed from 2 to 1. Like man, you're drinking 5 minimum, why do you care.

@petergleick they’re just waiting for some additional “donations” from the tobacco companies.

I've never seriously considered being vegetarian, but listening to these idiots has convinced me to give up red meat.

@petergleick Fortunately I didn't get cancer while it was dangerous, so at least for a few years I should be ok.

(Yes, *I* know that it doesn't work that way, but their followers sure seem to think that's how science works)

@petergleick Well, I guess, if you moderately drink alcohol and moderately smoke tobacco AT HOME, your risk of being murdered by an ICE agent is significantly reduced. So there might be a bright side.

Actually, I’m kind of surprised that hasn’t already happened. 🤔
