Have you all seen that fat slug of an orange by the name of Stump. Kennedy won’t be able to clean up the POS no matter how he tries.

A lot of people I know would agree with 75% of the thinking here (organic is good; the for profit health system does harm; our food infrastructure is not healthy or sustainable). But then there's the other 25% of the thinking that is wrong/odd/dangerous. Can we work together on the 75% we agree with
