What a Holistic Pediatrician Wishes You Knew About Your Kids' Health w/ Dr. Ana Maria Temple

Yeah, you know, it's a great story on many levels.

Number one, obviously, glyphosate.

But before we get glyphosate, I want to talk about power of a mama, a mama on a mission, right? So we have a mama that was like, wait, what's going on with glyphosate? Wait, what's going on at the Supreme Court? On that day, there was a case being heard of Monsanto versus Darnell.

The details are really irrelevant, but it was a company that makes glyphosate.

And because they were a case of the Supreme Court, this woman, Vani Hari, the food babe, She was like, well, this is not okay.

We need to make a big stink about it because we don't want Monsanto to walk away without any culpability, meaning they are going to walk away that didn't do anything wrong when glyphosate has been shown that it causes cancer.

Right.

So she called her mama friends.

You and I are some of them.

And she was like, hey, let's go to D.C. And we're like, when and where? And she's like, let's go make a big deal about it on the steps of the Supreme Court.

And we all showed up.

And it was, I think, 500, 700 people that showed up.

to stand up for our children, for families, for people against this chemical.

And because of our standing on the steps of the Supreme Court, three days later, they removed the liability shield from pesticides from the Farm Bill, which means that they were trying to pass through Congress a bill saying that companies that are making pesticides are excused from any harm that the pesticides cause to humans.

I know,

which was so frustrating because they've already been sued millions of dollars for causing cancer and they wanted to wash their hands of that and never be sued again.

Yes, that's exactly what it was.

And it was not okay.

And it was just amazing to see really a group of moms.

There were some dads, but it was just mainly moms who were just sick and tired of their kids being sick and sick and tired of their kids being on medications.

And we wanted to make a statement and we did.

Yeah, which was amazing.

It shows the power of the voice.

Yes.

The power of even one voice.

Yeah, you know, it's a great story on many levels.
