"Well folks I can attest to this. Long ago I got some chocolate/peanut butter candy at a drug store. (Ill not mention the brand name). I bit right into it and noticed it was full of some sort of live larvae/worms. I will never forget it"

"I am so proud of @CaseyDeSantis 🫶🏻 she is absolutely right. I am curious Casey how you feel about section [--] of SB290 in the Florida Farm Bill. This is scary stuff that would actually prevent Floridians like yourself from being able to criticize ultra processed food or chemicals used in your environment. Big Ag and Big Food are fighting for this. The bill is stalled until next week because so many MAHA moms called and raised alarm. This is a blatant attack on free speech. Can you help us 🚨 NEW: Florida Finds 78% of Tested Popular Candy Brands Contain Elevated Levels of Arsenic Three"
