General Mills voluntarily recalled four all-purpose flour products.
Four types of Gold Medal all-purpose flour, bleached and unbleached, have been recalled due to possible salmonella contamination.
General Mills announced a voluntary recall with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Friday.
According to the recall, the strain was “discovered during sampling of the five-pound bag product.”
The affected products included two date codes of Gold Medal Unbleached All Purpose Flour in 5- and 10-pound bags, as well as two date codes of Gold Medal Bleached All Purpose Flour in the 2- and 5-pound bags. The recalled bags of flour have a “better if used by” date of March 27, 2024, and March 28, 2024.
No other types of Gold Medal Flour were affected by this recall.

General Mills urged customers to check their pantries at home and asked them to discard any of the affected products.
The FDA and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warned consumers to refrain from consuming any uncooked products made with Gold Medal flour.
The agency wrote, “Salmonella Infantisis [is] killed by heat through baking, frying, sautéing or boiling products made with flour. All surfaces, hands and utensils should be properly cleaned after contact with flour or dough.”
CHICAGO (WLS) — Officials with the Centers for Disease Control said they have found two cases of salmonella in Illinois tied to a national flour recall.
The cases are linked to Gold Medal flour, manufactured by General Mills.
The CDC reports there have been 13 cases nationwide. The company said it found salmonella while sampling a five pound bag as part of its production practices, and issued the recall voluntarily.
General Mills has recalled bags of 2, 5, and 10-pound bleached and unbleached all-purpose flour that have a “better if used by” date of March 27, 2024 and March 28, 2024.
Most flour is raw and hasn’t been treated to kill germs that cause food poisoning, according to the CDC. Salmonella bacteria dies when it is cooked or baked, but people can get sick when eating or tasting foods that include raw flour. Raw dough used for crafts and play clay also pose a risk.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), a batch of cough syrup manufactured in India has been found to be contaminated in the Marshall Islands and Micronesia.
The WHO said that samples of Guaifenesin TG syrup, produced by QP Pharmachem Ltd in Punjab, India, were tested and found to contain “unacceptable amounts of diethylene glycol and ethylene glycol,” both of which are toxic to humans and could be fatal if ingested.
The WHO statement did not indicate if anyone had been affected. This latest warning follows the WHO’s earlier report linking other Indian-made cough syrups to child deaths in Uzbekistan and The Gambia.
QP Pharmachem’s managing director, Sudhir Pathak, stated that the company had exported the batch of 18,346 bottles to Cambodia with all required regulatory approvals and that he was unaware of how the product had made its way to the Marshall Islands and Micronesia.
“We did not send these bottles to the Pacific region, and they were not certified for use there. We don’t know under what circumstances and conditions these bottles reached the Marshall Islands and Micronesia,” he said, adding that his company has sent a legal notice to the firm that exported the batch of medicines to Cambodia.
According to the WHO statement, the cough syrup, which is designed to alleviate chest congestion and cough symptoms, was subjected to testing by the Therapeutic Goods Administration of Australia.
The syrup was being promoted by Trillium Pharma, a company located in the state of Haryana. The BBC was unable to contact a representative from Trillium. The Indian government has yet to respond to the recent warning.
The statement added that “neither the stated manufacturer nor the marketer have provided guarantees to WHO on the safety and quality of these products”.
India, as the world’s top exporter of generic drugs, supplies a significant portion of medication for developing countries.
However, in recent months, there has been growing scrutiny of the quality of drugs produced by Indian firms, with concerns being raised about their manufacturing practices. Last October, the WHO issued a global alert linking four cough syrups produced by Maiden Pharmaceuticals to the deaths of 66 children in The Gambia due to kidney injuries.
Both Maiden Pharmaceuticals and the Indian government refuted the allegations. In March, India revoked the manufacturing license of a company whose cough syrups were connected to 18 child deaths in Uzbekistan.
Earlier in the same month, the FDA discovered that an Indian manufacturer of eye drops, linked to three deaths and severe infections in the US, had violated several safety standards.
Customers who purchased the affected products are encouraged to avoid consuming them.
The list of grocery items that customers should stay away from right now just keeps getting longer. Coming on the heels of a Walmart supplier’s decision this week to pull potentially contaminated yogurt bars from shelves, Trader Joe’s and Costco shoppers are now being advised of health concerns over certain frozen fruits sold by these retailers, too.
Trader Joe’s announced today that its Organic Tropical Fruit Blend may have been contaminated with hepatitis A. The company is recalling packages of the product with the “Best By” dates of 4/25/24, 5/12/24, 5/23/24, 5/30/24, and 6/07/24.
Trader Joe’s said that it hasn’t received reports of any illnesses yet and has already destroyed all of the products that were potentially contaminated. Still, it urged any customers who purchased the frozen fruit blend to refrain from consuming it and either discard the product or return it to a store for a full refund.
As for Costco, customers in two states are advised to be wary of the warehouse club’s house brand Kirkland Signature Frozen Organic Strawberries. The club’s supplier, California Splendor, Inc., is recalling certain lots of the frozen fruit “due to an outbreak of hepatitis A illnesses,” according to an announcement posted by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Luckily for most Costco customers, the recall only applies to 4-lb. bags of the frozen strawberries sold at warehouses in Los Angeles, Hawaii, and two San Diego-area business centers.
The announcement said that hepatitis A actually hasn’t been detected on the product, but out of an abundance of caution, it urged customers against eating the frozen fruit and directed them to return any packages to their local Costco for a refund. The company has halted production and distribution of the affected product and is working alongside the FDA to find the cause of the problem.
Customers can determine whether they purchased any of the recalled frozen strawberries by checking the lot number located above the “Best If Used By” date on the back of the package. If customers encounter any of the 13 lot numbers listed in the recall announcement, such as 140962-08, that means it is part of one of the potentially affected lots.
Hepatitis A is a contagious liver infection caused by the hepatitis A virus, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Symptoms of the illness can last up to two months and include fatigue, nausea, stomach pain, and jaundice.
But getting vaccinated for hepatitis A within two weeks of exposure can actually prevent illness. The recall announcement encouraged anyone who may have consumed contaminated food to speak with a healthcare professional or local health department to determine if they may need a vaccine. It also urged anyone experiencing hepatitis A symptoms to immediately reach out to their health care providers or local health departments.
Costco’s and Trader Joe’s frozen fruit aren’t the only products that have sparked a recall this month. In fact, Trader Joe’s has issued two other recalls since the start of March for certain lots of its Wine Country White Chicken Salad with Cranberries & Pecans and Lemon Chicken & Arugula Salad. Customers can find more information on these and any other recalls on the retailer’s website.

Home › Dog Food Recalls › Purina Recalls Pro Plan Vet Diet Product Due to Elevated Levels of Vitamin D
Update March 10, 2023 — Nestlé Purina PetCare Company has expanded its voluntary recall of Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Diets EL Elemental (PPVD EL) prescription dry dog food to two additional product lots, which precede the production dates of the previously recalled lots.
The expansion follows an investigation prompted by Purina that uncovered new information about a production error from a U.S. supplier made regarding this specific formula only and which resulted in potentially elevated levels of vitamin D.
February 8, 2023 — Nestlé Purina PetCare Company is recalling a limited amount of Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Diets EL Elemental (PPVD EL) prescription dry dog food due to potentially elevated levels of vitamin D.
Vitamin D, while essential to a healthy diet, can cause health problems if ingested in too high an amount for too long.
What’s Recalled?
Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Diets EL Elemental (PPVD EL) 8lb and 20lb bags. You can identify the recalled product by using the UPC and production codes in the image below.
This is a prescription-only product.
No other Purina products are impacted by this voluntary recall.
What Caused the Recall?
The recall has come after Purina was contacted about two separate confirmed cases (to date) of dogs exhibiting signs of vitamin D toxicity. Each had been on the diet but recovered once taken off.
Company Statement
According to the company (abridged statement):
Nestlé Purina PetCare Company is voluntarily recalling select lots of Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Diets EL Elemental (PPVD EL) prescription dry dog food due to potentially elevated levels of vitamin D. Vitamin D is an essential nutrient for dogs; however, ingestion of elevated levels can lead to health issues depending on the level of vitamin D and the length of exposure. Vitamin D toxicity may include vomiting, loss of appetite, increased thirst, increased urination, and excessive drooling to renal (kidney) dysfunction.
Purina is taking this action after receiving two contacts about two separate confirmed cases of a dog exhibiting signs of vitamin D toxicity after consuming the diet, to date. Once taken off the diet, each of these dogs recovered.
The affected dry dog food was distributed throughout the United States by prescription only through veterinary clinics, Purina Vet Direct, Purina for Professionals, and other select retailers with the ability to validate a prescription.
We apologize to pet owners and veterinarians for any concerns or inconvenience this situation has caused. As pet experts and pet owners ourselves, the health and well-being of pets is our top priority.
Purina recommends that pet parents immediately stop feeding the affected product to their dogs and discard any remaining food in a way that no wildlife or other animals can get to it.

What’s Recalled?

For a brief period on September 15, 2022, cans of a different complete and balanced adult dog food, Purina ONE True Instinct Tender Cuts In Gravy With Real Turkey & Venison wet dog food, were labeled as PPVD EN Low Fat in one of the company’s factories.
The mislabeled diet is safe to feed, but it is not the intended formula for dogs requiring a prescription Low Fat diet or who may have sensitivities to traditional diets or difficulty digesting fat.
Company Statement
According to the company…
We became aware of the issue after being contacted by several pet owners who observed the texture of food in their PPVD EN Low Fat cans was not the same as previous meals.
The mislabeled product contains chunks in gravy, while the correct product looks more like a pate consistency.
While we have not received any reports to date of illness or injury to dogs fed this mislabeled product, we are conducting this voluntary recall as a precaution.
The affected product was available by prescription only and distributed through veterinary clinics and other retailers with the ability to validate a prescription.
We have asked our veterinary and other retail partners to remove the affected product.
We also recommend that you discard any of the affected product you may have, and we will replace it as quickly as possible.

(CNN) The Food and Drug Administration is advising people in 13 states not to eat certain raw oysters from South Korea after at least one person in Las Vegas got sick with a virus that can cause diarrhea and vomiting.
The Southern Nevada Health District informed officials of two clusters of illnesses from a restaurant in Las Vegas, the FDA said. At least one person was confirmed to have sapovirus illness and nine others potentially had the same sickness. The oysters were served October 28 and November 5.
According to the FDA news release, sapoviruses cause a sporadic gastroenteritis and the most common symptoms are diarrhea, vomiting, nausea and stomach pain.
Symptoms usually show up within 48 hours, the FDA said.
“Consumers, especially those who are or could become pregnant, the elderly, and persons with weakened immune systems, who have recently consumed raw oysters in (13 states) and suspect they have food poisoning should seek medical care immediately,” officials said in the news release.
In addition to Nevada, the FDA advisory applied to consumers and sellers in Alabama, California, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, New York, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia.
The oysters were harvested February 6 and were exported by Dai One Food Company, the FDA said.
“The Korean firm has recalled frozen half shell oysters, frozen oyster IQF (individually quick freezing), and frozen oyster block harvested from the same harvest area” on February 6, FDA officials said.
Listeria is especially harmful if you are pregnant, aged 65 or older, or have a weakened immune system. If you are in any of these groups, do not eat raw enoki mushrooms. Cook enoki mushrooms thoroughly to kill any foodborne germs.
Investigators are working to identify specific brands of enoki mushrooms that may be contaminated with the outbreak strain of Listeria. However, many brands of enoki mushrooms have been recalled since the 2020 Listeria outbreak linked to enoki mushrooms.
Enoki mushrooms are white and have long, thin stems. They are often sold in a bunch with roots in sealed plastic packaging. They are popular in Japanese, Chinese, and Korean food, and they are almost always eaten cooked in soups, hot pots, and stir-fried dishes.
In 2020, CDC investigated the first known Listeria outbreak in the United States linked to enoki mushrooms. This outbreak resulted in three recalls of enoki mushrooms that were imported from Korea. Since then, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and public health officials from several states have been collecting samples of enoki mushrooms and found Listeria in many samples, resulting in more than 20 recalls of enoki mushrooms.
Information collected so far shows that enoki mushrooms are the likely source of these illnesses.
Both sick people reported eating enoki mushrooms or eating at restaurants with menu items containing enoki mushrooms. The outbreak strain was previously found in one sample of enoki mushrooms that FDA collected at import. However, to date, the firm associated with this sample has not been identified as a potential source of enoki mushrooms in this outbreak.
Investigators are working to identify specific brands of enoki mushrooms linked to these illnesses.
Listeria is especially harmful if you are pregnant, aged 65 or older, or have a weakened immune system due to certain medical conditions or treatments. If you are pregnant, it can cause pregnancy loss, premature birth, or a life-threatening infection in your newborn. Other people can be infected with Listeria, but they rarely become seriously ill.
If you are pregnant, aged 65 or older, or have a weakened immune system:
Do not eat raw enoki mushrooms. Cook enoki mushrooms thoroughly.
Listeria can grow on foods kept in the refrigerator, but it is easily killed by heating food to a high enough temperature.
Keep raw enoki mushrooms separate from foods that won’t be cooked.
This prevents the spread of Listeria germs from enoki mushrooms to foods that you won’t cook before eating.
Wash your hands after handling raw enoki mushrooms.
Clean your refrigerator, containers, and surfaces that have touched raw enoki mushrooms.
Listeria can easily spread among food, surfaces, and hands.
Call your healthcare provider right away if you have any symptoms of severe Listeria illness after eating enoki mushrooms:
People who are not pregnant may experience headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance, and convulsions, in addition to fever and muscle aches.
Pregnant people usually experience only fever, fatigue, and muscle aches. However, Listeria can cause pregnancy loss or premature birth. It can also cause serious illness or death in newborns.
Do not serve raw enoki mushrooms.
Cook enoki mushrooms thoroughly before serving them to customers.
Do not use raw enoki mushrooms as garnish.
Do not add raw enoki mushrooms on top of soup dishes right before serving. The enoki mushrooms will not get hot enough to kill Listeria germs.
Keep raw enoki mushrooms separate from foods that won’t be cooked.
This prevents the spread of Listeria germs from enoki mushrooms to foods that you won’t cook before serving to customers.
Employees should wash hands after handling raw enoki mushrooms.
Listeria can cause severe illness (known as invasive listeriosis) when the bacteria spread beyond the gut to other parts of the body.
Almost all severe illnesses from Listeria result in hospitalizations and sometimes death.
Pregnant people and their newborns, adults 65 years or older, and people with weakened immune systems are at higher risk for severe illness.
Other people can be infected with Listeria, but they usually get mild food poisoning symptoms, like diarrhea and fever, and usually recover without treatment.
Symptoms of severe illness usually start within 2 weeks after eating food contaminated with Listeria, but may start as early as the same day or as late as 10 weeks after.

The @US_FDA, @CDCgov and state and local partners, are investigating a multistate outbreak of #Salmonella Litchfield infections linked to fresh, raw salmon and possibly other fish supplied to #restaurants in California and Arizona by Mariscos Bahia, Inc. https://t.co/6tHGvAjsXT
— FDA FOOD (Ctr for Food Safety & Applied Nutrition) (@FDAfood) October 20, 2022
The FDA, along with CDC and state and local partners, is investigating a multistate outbreak of Salmonella Litchfield infections linked to fresh, raw salmon supplied to restaurants in California and Arizona by Mariscos Bahia, Inc.
Based on epidemiologic information provided by CDC and interviews conducted by state and local public health officials, of 16 people interviewed, 12 reported eating sushi, sashimi, or poke. Of those interviewed, 11 people remembered details about the type of fish consumed and 9 report eating raw salmon before getting sick. The FDA’s investigation traced the distribution of fresh, raw salmon back to Mariscos Bahia, Inc.
In addition, the FDA collected an environmental sample that included multiple swabs at Mariscos Bahia, Inc. (Pico Rivera, CA). Multiple environmental swabs collected at the facility are positive for Salmonella and subsequent Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) analysis is ongoing. The WGS completed to date indicates the Salmonella detected in at least one of the swabs from the facility matches the outbreak strain. While epidemiological evidence indicates that ill people consumed fresh, raw salmon processed at this firm, the presence of Salmonella in the processing environment indicates that additional types of fish processed in the same area of the facility could also be contaminated which includes fresh, raw halibut, Chilean seabass, tuna, and swordfish. Salmon, halibut, Chilean seabass, tuna, and swordfish processed in Marisco Bahia Inc.’s Pico Rivera, CA, facility could have also been sent to the Mariscos Bahia, Inc. facilities in Phoenix, AZ and then sent to restaurants.
The firm is cooperating with the FDA investigation and has agreed to initiate a voluntary recall. As a part of the firm’s voluntary recall, the firm will contact its direct customers who received recalled product.
The FDA’s investigation is ongoing. Updates to this advisory will be provided as they become available.
Recommendation
According to Mariscos Bahia, Inc., seafood was only sold directly to restaurants in California and Arizona and would not be available for purchase by consumers in stores.
Restaurants should check with their suppliers and not sell or serve salmon, halibut, Chilean seabass, tuna, and swordfish received fresh, not frozen from Mariscos Bahia, Inc. (Pico Rivera, CA and Phoenix, AZ) on or after June 14, 2022. If restaurants received these fish and then froze it, they should not sell or serve it. Restaurants should also be sure to wash and sanitize locations where these fish from Mariscos Bahia, Inc. were stored or prepared.
Consumers eating salmon, halibut, Chilean seabass, tuna, and swordfish at a restaurant in California or Arizona should ask whether the fish is from Mariscos Bahia, Inc and was received fresh, not frozen.
Do not eat, sell, or serve recalled Brie and Camembert soft cheese products from Old Europe Cheese, Inc. FDA’s outbreak investigation is ongoing.
The FDA, along with CDC and state and local partners, is investigating a multistate outbreak of Listeria monocytogenes infections linked to Brie and Camembert soft cheese products manufactured by Old Europe Cheese, Inc. of Benton Harbor, MI, and sold at various retailers under multiple labels and brands, including Reny Picot.
Based on epidemiologic information provided by CDC, of the five patients with information available, four (80%) report eating Brie or Camembert cheese prior to illness. FDA, with assistance from the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, initiated an inspection at the Old Europe Cheese, Inc. facility in Michigan, which included sample collection and analysis. Analysis of environmental samples collected at the facility showed the presence of Listeria monocytogenes. Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) analysis determined that the Listeria strain found in the facility matches the Listeria strain causing illnesses in this outbreak.
Old Europe Cheese, Inc. has voluntarily recalled multiple brands of Brie and Camembert cheeses produced at their Michigan facility in response to investigation findings. The firm has also halted production and distribution of their Brie and Camembert products from the Michigan facility and is working with FDA on corrective actions. Consumers, restaurants, and retailers should not eat, sell, or serve recalled products and should throw them away; this includes Best By Dates ranging from September 28, 2022 to December 14, 2022, and all flavors and quantities. A full list of recalled products and stores that potentially sold these products is available below and on the firm’s recall.
FDA’s investigation is ongoing to determine if additional products are potentially contaminated. Updates to this advisory will be provided as they become available.
Recommendation
Consumers, restaurants, and retailers should not eat, sell, or serve recalled products and should throw them away; this includes Best By Dates ranging from September 28, 2022 to December 14, 2022, and all flavors and quantities. A full list of recalled products and stores that potentially sold these products is available below and on the firm’s recall.
Retailers may have repackaged bulk Old Europe Cheese items into smaller containers and sold this repackaged product to consumers. This repackaged product may not bear the original labeling and product information. If you are unsure where your Brie or Camembert cheese is from, ask your retailer or throw it away.
Listeria is most likely to sicken pregnant people and their newborns, adults aged 65 or older, and people with weakened immune systems. Other people can be infected with Listeria, but they rarely become seriously ill.
Call your healthcare provider right away if you have these symptoms after eating Old Europe Cheese Inc. or Reny Picot brand Brie and Camembert products:
Pregnant people typically experience only fever, fatigue, and muscle aches. However, Listeria infection during pregnancy can lead to miscarriage, stillbirth, premature delivery, or life-threatening infection of the newborn.
People who are not pregnant may experience headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance, and convulsions, in addition to fever and muscle aches.
Follow FDA’s safe handling and cleaning advice and use extra vigilance in cleaning and sanitizing any surfaces and containers that may have come in contact with these products to reduce the risk of cross-contamination, including retailers who repackaged bulk recalled cheese. Listeria can survive in refrigerated temperatures and can easily spread to other foods and surfaces.

Parents and caregivers of infants who consume infant formula
Product
Product: Mother’s Touch Formula
Distribution: The product is sold at local markets in Kinzers, Loganton, and Gap, PA and was available for purchase directly from Mother’s Touch website.
Purpose
The FDA advises parents and caregivers not to buy or give Mother’s Touch Formula to infants under their care. The product is being marketed as an infant formula without the required pre-market notification to the FDA, and it does not meet infant formula nutrient requirements for seven nutrients.
Summary of Problem and Scope
The FDA has determined that Mother’s Touch Formula is not manufactured in compliance with the FDA’s infant formula regulations. The infant formula product is not tested to determine if it meets the nutrient requirements for infant formula, and contains label claims for seven nutrients that do not meet the nutrient requirements for infant formula such that consumption of this formula has the potential to cause nutrient deficiencies or toxicity in infants. In addition, the product was not fully tested for the presence of potentially harmful bacteria such as Cronobacter.
FDA Actions
The FDA advises parents and caregivers not to buy or give Mother’s Touch Formula to infants under their care because we have determined that this brand of infant formula is being marketed without pre-market notification to the FDA and has not been properly tested for the presence of potentially harmful bacteria. Additionally, nutrient label claims on the product label showed the product to contain nutrient amounts below the minimum levels required for protein, linoleic acid, calcium, sodium, potassium, and chloride; and above the maximum level allowed for iron.
Parents and caregivers of infants who have purchased this product should discontinue use and throw it away.
Parents and caregivers of infants who have used this product and are concerned about the health of their child should contact their health care provider.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is issuing a public health alert for Perdue’s frozen ready-to-eat (RTE) chicken breast tenders “gluten free” that may be contaminated with extraneous materials, specifically small pieces of clear plastic and blue dye. A recall was not requested because the product is no longer available for purchase.
The frozen RTE chicken breast tenders “gluten free” were produced on July 12, 2022. The following product is subject to the public health alert:
42 oz. plastic bags containing “PERDUE CHICKEN BREAST TENDERS GLUTEN FREE” with a “Best if Used By: 07 12 23” and a lot number of 2193 above the use by date.
The products bear establishment number “P-33944” immediately below the “Best if Used By:” date on the back of the plastic bag. These items were shipped to BJ’s Wholesale Club retail locations nationwide.
The problem was discovered when the establishment reported to FSIS that it received a complaint from a consumer reporting a chicken tender had a small piece of clear plastic and blue dye inside it.
There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an illness should contact a health care provider.
FSIS is concerned that some product may be in consumers’ freezers. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.

There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn’t true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true. —Soren Kierkegaard. "...truth is true even if nobody believes it, and falsehood is false even if everybody believes it. That is why truth does not yield to opinion, fashion, numbers, office, or sincerity--it is simply true and that is the end of it" - Os Guinness, Time for Truth, pg.39. “He that takes truth for his guide, and duty for his end, may safely trust to God’s providence to lead him aright.” - Blaise Pascal. "There is but one straight course, and that is to seek truth and pursue it steadily" – George Washington letter to Edmund Randolph — 1795. We live in a “post-truth” world. According to the dictionary, “post-truth” means, “relating to or denoting circumstances in which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief.” Simply put, we now live in a culture that seems to value experience and emotion more than truth. Truth will never go away no matter how hard one might wish. Going beyond the MSM idealogical opinion/bias and their low information tabloid reality show news with a distractional superficial focus on entertainment, sensationalism, emotionalism and activist reporting – this blogs goal is to, in some small way, put a plug in the broken dam of truth and save as many as possible from the consequences—temporal and eternal. "The further a society drifts from truth, the more it will hate those who speak it." – George Orwell “There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn’t true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true.” ― Soren Kierkegaard
