The FDA has done a pretty big 180 in the last 10 or 20 years. So you might want to check that again.

This will kill you, just as sure as you put a gun to your head.

That's the "10 to 20 years ago" that I was referencing :rolleyes:

You should maybe do a basic google search. But if you had the capability to do that you would realize I'm right and would love freedom a bit more.

I did, where do you think I found this pic?

Feel free to post another.

Ah man, you found a pic on google? You realize Google goes back like 30 years now right? Oh, wow. You don't even know how to do a google search right. Truly an indictment of the public education system created by THE GOVERNMENT.

It explains a lot that you think a google search stops when you hit the search button. Nobody ever taught you basic skepticism. Makes sense why you're racist garbage.

Haha, not sure I embody the 'true American' being a naturalized foreign-born US citizen but okay. Insulin pricing is a pretty complex issue, not that long ago there were tons of articles being written about the fact that there's a global shortage. I know you like to believe the onus of this crucial medicine being expensive is purely on the evil corporations that need to squeeze every dollar out of reliant patients but it's not that simple.

You realize that part of the issue is the amount of regulatory burden placed on drug makers right? There's a monopoly by 3 companies because the regulation make it uneconomical for other companies to try and produce it. They way insulin is produced is also constricting as it can't simply be pumped out like many other drugs.

There are projections saying that 40 million people will be left without insulin by 2030. Rich countries subsidizing it domestically for their own people just means that somewhere else a poor pleb will have to do without.

I use search engines to illustrate my point, not formulate one.
Makes sense why you defend blue haired pedo phreeks.

You're using outdated information. The FDA doesn't use the servings pyramid any more, as it doesn't apply in a lot of cases.

It's broken down by cups/ounces equivalent, and varies based on age and general activity levels.

https://www.dietaryguidelines.gov/sites/default/files/2020-12/Dietary_Guidelines_for_Americans_2020-2025.pdf

This is a tool they have to compute the average number of calories a specific person should intake, and where to source those calories, based on age, height, weight, and activity level.
