Some of us geniuses simply do not eat fruits and vegetables. ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Actually that's potentially even worse depending on what you eat. Processed food often contains lots of pesticides and herbicides because they don't need to spend money making the ingredients look clean like stuff sold fresh. ๐Ÿ™ƒ Though on the plus side, some processing does break down the toxins. And meats are sometimes worse as well since they don't clean things for food animals and give them lots of other things that aren't very good for you like growth hormones and excessive amounts of antibiotics making many bacteria immune. I've been trying to reduce my animal product consumption for that reason as well as ethical reasons, but its rough, especially without substituting with lots of processed foods, which may or may not be better, lol. There's no ethical consumption in post-capitalist society.
