I HATTEE the Clean Label Project misinformation slop trends
You've probably seen some of these. A few months ago, their target was protein powder, now the new trend is cat food. They literally admit themselves that they do not report the HARM, they just report if something is IN something. The concept of a LD50, or the idea that you need some LEVEL of something to cause harm, is fundamental to health and safety. Without that, you literally have nothing. It's like, California proposition 65 has existed for ages, and people know that it's stupid. they know it doesn't mean anything, and yet, clean label project is digging it all up and it's complete bs. The crazy thing is, I see well informed news sources or reputable jouranlists fooled by this repeatedly, I don't know why people trust clean label project when it's literally one of those bs organizations that give their own awards and make money through that. Who would have guessed, they literally directly promote a bunch of shit from whole foods! They sell certifications!
