Gosh, I've read about the water situation in places like Michigan. It didn't occur to me that parts of the USA have water that could be to blame. I should have said bread! Although that might trigger the gluten crowd.
It's not just Michigan, not even close. I recommend looking up Status Coup News on YT to see Jordan Chariton's reporting.
Here is a recent short (please ignore the AI voice, I guess it was an experiment for them): https://youtu.be/xsMJvO-fhxg
(https://youtu.be/MJ19Nzx-93w is the video it's based on.)
That's the latest crisis, there are many more that only they do reporting for - check the channel out. The EPA and mainstream media regularly cover up crises.
And in regards to bread, that's probably toxic too. Our pesticides suck and our soil is also likely fairly toxic as well.
Though not completely widespread, contaminated sewage biosolids are used in agriculture to fertilize soil (see: https://www.ewg.org/news-insights/news/2025/01/forever-chemicals-sludge-may-taint-nearly-70-million-farmland-acres), and recycled black water may even be used for agricultural irrigation in some places. I doubt that the filtering is sufficient in even the best case scenarios for both practices.
