One hundred percent of the cookies contained at least 4 out of 5 heavy and toxic metals, aluminum, arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury. The Peanut Butter Patties® were the most contaminated, ranging from the lowest level of mercury at .07 ppb of mercury to the highest levels of lead at 42.5 ppb and aluminum, at 27.5 ppm (27,500 ppb).
The source of the high levels of aluminum is unclear. However, non-organic peanut crops are one of the most highly sprayed crops with some of the most toxic chemicals. Of the samples tested, 22 out of 25 (88%) were positive for all 5 toxic metals. Thin mints had the highest levels of glyphosate, and the peanut butter patties had the highest levels of toxic metals.
Seventy-six percent of the cookies tested positive for levels of cadmium that exceeded EPA limits in water, and 96% of the cookies contained lead. There is no safe level of lead. Cadmium and lead have been linked to cancer and brain disorders.
Principled positions on issues are important. If we want to be healthy and have healthy societies we should not pick and choose what healthy policy decisions we should make based on who is talking about and proposing them.
I will have less of a presence on The Torrid Tribe Community. We have very little activity here. This is a sign to me that members have found other social media resources that they are spending more time in. I am happy to see less censorship on social media in general. I started The Torrid Tribe 4 years ago when we were in a state of censorship and lockdowns. It was a difficult time and this was a haven and sanctuary for so many.
I will be lightly posting things here to give you all content to see. This community will always be open to everyone and will resurrect to its full capacity if subscribers show they want it fully operational again with full time administration.
Thank you for being a part of this community. Sending each of you hugs.

Oh this is rich. Russia and China are demanding the U.S. release Maduro immediately.
That’s adorable. Absolutely precious.
Nothing screams “moral authority” like Vladimir Putin and the Chinese Communist Party clutching pearls over international law. That’s like a burglar lecturing you about door locks while standing in your living room.
Let’s get this straight: • Russia invades neighbors for sport
• China runs concentration camps and harvests organs
• Maduro turns Venezuela into a cocaine vending machine with a flag
But suddenly they’re all united in concern over a “lawfully elected president.” Yeah, sure. And North Korea has free speech.
Maduro gets scooped up in his pajamas after a lightning fast operation and now the world’s top dictators are having a group meltdown. Funny how they weren’t this chatty when Venezuelans were starving, fleeing, or getting shot for protesting. Guess human rights only matter when one of their cartel buddies gets caught.
And the “abducted leader” language? Please. ...
