If you have DNA with 23andMe or AncestryDNA, you can upload it to GenoPalate to see which diet is the right fit for you. They'll show you nutrient breakdowns, vitamin recommendations, top food matches, etc. I love this!

Horrible that Asians & Asian Americans are physically and verbally assaulted in our country. Easy to say it’s because of coronavirus. But this is not new. Internment of Japanese Americans in WW2 is just 1 example of govt sanctioned racism & xenophobia that licenses this behavior.
Japanese musician Tadataka Unno seriously injured in NYC subway attack for being “Chinese” Sinophobia whipped up by Western media puts everyone w East Asian appearances at risk soranews24.com/2020/10/08/ja…

Asked by Stephen Colbert if she thinks her uncle is a high-functioning sociopath. Mary Trump responds... "He is not high-functioning at all." Good thing Donald never watches TV, because he'd be really upset to hear that.

The only way you defeat a virus is with science and medicine. This federal government does not understand that.

Anderson Cooper: "Jim, is there *anyone* left in the administration who shakes their head when they hear the president rambling in the Rose Garden?" Jim Acosta: "No, Anderson, we are down to Kool-Aid drinkers and next of kin."

Throwback to 5 years ago when Tony Fauci, at 74 yo, was suiting up to treat an Ebola patient himself because he "wanted to show his staff that he wouldn't ask them to do anything he wouldn't do himself". This is what leadership looks like. sciencemag.org/news/2015/03/…

To all those (incl media) fretting about the fact that we don’t have an awesome woman leader who could quash (or at least curb) the pandemic (eg Merkel, Ardern, Ing-wen), we had our chance; we worried instead about email security. I hope you are all happy; this is on you too! – at Shoreline, WA
