Yoga mamas... why do you even bother mentioning them?

However, it looks to me that an US organization talking about US produced food under the Trump administration is about as trustable as the FTC when talking about net neutrality or the FAA when talking about Boeing airplane safety.

"yoga mamas" comes from the grandparent post. Far too many people get their "facts" from their friends and repeat whatever they made up/heard without any critical thought.

This isn't just Trump, I see at least as many liberals do that. A large part of the Trump-hate I see is from made up facts that have no basis in reality. (which isn't to saw Trump is good or honest, just that his opponents are doing the same thing they accuse him of - they believe they have the real facts)

The term 'liberals' always amuses me, being outside the US.

Looks to me you use it as 'those hippie commie bastards' while around where I am it means 'the (optionally center) right'.
