AUS vs CAN RS Oil Content: Any comments as to why?

these products once created and used are with us for a long time and are everywhere in our world. May or may not be a problem but likely get compounded through the food chain and other contamination.

Lead from leaded gasoline is a great example of the unintended consequences of a well-meaning Band-Aid solution.
Our entire world is contaminated with lead now. And will be for generations to come.

Some people believe the same will be true about GMO or pesticides.

That sounds like a pretty positive message to anyone who doesn't read between the lines. Kind of hard to counter that to Joe public, the opposite is stronger corporations, more hazardous chemicals, destroy the environment and put more corruption in the government. Likely nothing changes just like any other political promise.

As usual the pendulum can swing too far. As much as I detest the anti-crowds, and the labels of regenerative and sustainable, I do think we need to do better. The solution can't always be more chem, more antibiotics etc, those are just bandaid solutions that overall benefit big pharma and chem companies. The thread from a couple weeks back about glyphosate residue in peas is a good example, these products once created and used are with us for a long time and are everywhere in our world. May or may not be a problem but likely get compounded through the food chain and other contamination. Not against any of these practices, but definitely have concerns and try to be conscious of what we do.

Very possible yup

I think what RFK is proposing is redirecting subsidies from products considered unhealthy to products considered healthy.
Might be a good time to be an apple farmer, not a great time to be a plant producing high fructose corn syrup.

Most corn and soybeans are ending up in animal feed or industrial uses, anyways. Not much changes except except we won't be competing with subsidized grain from the US.

Just my opinion, but I still strongly believe that the vast majority of issues RFK is alluding to are from secondary processing after the farm gate .

And the quantity consumed. And the sedentary lifestyle that goes along with it.
And every other environmental toxin we are exposed to constantly.
And the toxins we intentionally put in our bodies such as drugs and alcohol.
And our ability to diagnose maladies unknown to science generations before.

He very well could be not wrong at all , just saying it’s going to be interesting to see the reaction from mid west corn and soybean producers who use majority RR crops

[AlbertaFarmer5]

But what if RFK is right?

If he is, Maybe our societies health is more important than our own selfish financial interests?

Considering that society was willing to shut down the entire economy for the sake of a flu to save the healthcare system from overload. Yet the epidemic of chronic diseases is actually overwhelming the healthcare system. Could the solution actually be that simple?

On the other hand,
If he is able to implement his agenda, but the rest of the world doesn't buy into it, doesn't that just price the US out of all export markets leaving a bigger hole to fill for the rest of us?

Will be very interesting to watch the reaction from the mid west corn and soybean producers

Interesting in a bad news for ag and the general population if Trump gets in and gives him any power. RFKjr is pretty much like the medical version of Greta and global warming.
Bad alliance by Trump.
