100 years on, it's essential to think about our unfortunate past, which saw Benito Mussolini, even in parliament, defend violence, assume his desire to be a dictator, invent fascism and then become one, with terrible consequences for the whole of humanity.

Still, he has helped make
huge progress!

Bird Flu Detected in Milk Sold in California, State Health Officials Say A batch of raw milk has been voluntarily recalled after the bird flu virus was found in a retail sample by the County of Santa Clara Public Health Laboratory

Because no one can figure out why that one test popped positive. They said the test used, can detect particulate and dead. Meaning it could have come from a handler. The lack of control here is not demonstrated. Speculative to what was wrote not the stub article.

Scientists just figured out how many chemicals enter our bodies from food packaging More than 3,000 chemicals from food packaging have infiltrated our bodies, a new study has found.

Researchers from Switzerland and other countries discovered that of the roughly 14,000 known chemicals in food packaging, 3,601 — or about 25 percent — have been found in the human body, whether in samples of blood, hair or breast milk.
