🇺🇦 Out for a nice evening stroll with your girlfriend in Ukraine?
The military conscription units don't give a sh*t
You'll still be dragged kicking and screaming into a van; next stop, the frontline meat grinder
This war is fking brutal and needs to stop

🚨SHOCKING TRUTH: Your "fresh" supermarket fruits might be OVER A YEAR OLD!
They're GASSING them with TOXIC "SmartFresh" – a petroleum-based chemical – just to extend shelf life & boost profits!
Carcinogenic & genotoxic, yet approved to use on 12 fruits including tomatoes...
Rethinking that "fresh" apple? Many fruits/veggies are treated with 1-MCP (1-methylcyclopropene) to delay ripening for up to a year.
SmartFresh is approved for use on apples, pears, persimmons, plums, cherimoyas, kiwis, tomatoes, peaches, melons, mangoes, limes & avocados, with more uses planned.
- Sold as SmartFresh (post-harvest), Harvista (orchards), RipeLock (bananas) by AgroFresh – used in US + 40+ countries.
- Blocks ethylene to keep produce firm & fresh-looking longer, reducing waste but extending storage/sales.
- Manufacturer claims "non-toxic, no risk" – but handlers must wear chemical-resistant gloves, long sleeves & goggles.
- Pure 1-MCP gas can be explosive in high concentrations if warmed in closed containers (per old EFSA review).
- Key concern: Two impurities (1-CMP & 3-CMP) are genotoxic & carcinogenic – early reports flagged classification.
