I'm not sure exactly what would be effected, but I've been trying to just keep things simple, and avoid anything that i don't make myself. Like no pre-packaged foods at all. It's a pain in the ass since it takes more time, but making stuff in bulk and freezing it for later is making it doable for me.

I'm curious if anyone else is really worried about this stuff. Like RFK is a maniac who knows what sort of stuff he could start allowing in foods. Is anyone else taking similar steps, or do you think I'm over reacting to it?

I think it's generally good to become more "ingredients first" in your diet: you become more creative in cooking, more appreciative of the labour that cooking requires, and you can become more resilient to making further changes to your diet depending on your health and/or circumstances.

I know there's privileges inherent to that, but if you have the means, the time, and the energy to cook from first principles more often then you should!

I am going the cheap approach to it myself lol. Just buying like rice, dried beans, chicken breasts can be pretty cheap i find them like 1.69$/lb, whatever produce is on sale for cheap, stuff like that. I guess another commenter made a good point that even those can be exposed to toxic stuff so I'll need to wash the produce really well i guess.
