“I think this administration’s policy is negatively affecting our food, just with all of the recalls, just not having regulations, and just disproportionately affecting disenfranchised minorities. People who don’t have access to being able to get healthy foods and their resources in other places. So, yeah, this administration is negatively affecting us.”
“In my opinion, yes, definitely. It is affecting our health and our food source. We’ve known this for years. They’ve been putting things in our food. They’ve been putting things, health-wise, in supplements, you name it. America, in comparison to other countries, we have probably the highest preservatives, unnecessary additives, you name it, we got it. So, I definitely feel like it is affecting us in more ways than one. Not only in the food, but also in what we put on our bodies, what we put in our hair, everything.”
“Absolutely, it’s impacting our food, and it’s been doing that from the beginning of time, but I feel like we’re really being impacted, and we’re seeing the impact of it more and more from our health. And then the economy. Oh my gosh. Yes, we were talking about that earlier. You can’t go anywhere and get breakfast for less than $50. The groceries are crazy. And going back to the health, blueberries just got a recall, and eggs, and meat. When do you remember this being this bad? So, yes, this administration… Get out of here.”
“My response is that the administration is selling the people of the United States of America out. The food has not been great, the prices have been elevated, and people aren’t happy. So, we need to be taking care of our own economy, our own community before we start helping others.”
“I believe it is. I don’t know if it’s targeted, but I think it is. But there’s a lot of Black women in our community who have just recently been diagnosed with some type of cancer. Diabetes is at a higher rate now. So, I believe that it’s targeted toward our communities and other communities of color to change the food up and put something in us. So, yes, I do think there’s something in our food.”
“I think they do have something to do with what comes into the U.S. Firing the people that handle foods and certain things that get touched by certain people, there are changes to the state of America now as a whole. So, I do feel, on my end, that it does affect what’s coming into America as far as the food and nutrition. Now you’re seeing health has changed. Everybody is trying to eat healthy because everything else out there is not really good for you.”
