Of course. Have to meet the poverty line financially and age plus criminal record should maybe be looked into as well. You shouldn't have to have an IQ of 140 in order to have kids but there should be a minimum that is reasonable for being able to raise a child.

Some people are just stupid. Don't let that taint the reputation of people who are trying to live a clean lifestyle
The problem is some of these groups that were created to support a clean lifestyle have turned into extremists who shame any trip to a doctor or hospital.
It’s the equivalent of the “Breast is best” assholes who shame Moms to the point that they’re starving their newborns to death. Because the movement has now been imbedded in hospitals with lactation coaches who won’t accept that some newborns just won’t breast feed. It’s become totally convoluted by nutjobs.
And honestly, some of y’all are complicit as hell for not calling that shite out.

Agree, and that's pretty much what I said yet I received nothing but downvotes for it. There's overreaction on both sides. I don't understand why it's so controversial to just say, "I would like to only put the things in my body that we spent 99% of our evolutionary existence putting in our bodies." You say something like that and people just want to automatically lump you with the ignorant extremists and that's not fair or productive.
With so much misinformation and so many untrusted sources the only sure bet is to try to do what comes naturally as much as is humanly possible.
I don't trust the government, I don't trust law enforcement, I don't trust strangers, I don't trust auto mechanics, I don't trust contractors, I don't trust big business, I don't trust insurance companies, I don't trust auto manufacturers, I don't trust lawyers and I damn sure don't trust the medical industry. Caveat emptor when you use all of the above out of sheer necessity.

That's not my job to call out Facebook moms and their bullshite. I think stupid people are stupid enough to call themselves out. They don't need any help. And why should I have to call them out anyway? I don't identify with any specific group. I'm not somebody that's easy to pigeonhole. Politically or socially.

Last time I checked there wasn't a shortage of 4-year-olds with dumbass DNA.

If a 10 month old, or really anyone of any age, has a fever of 105, they need to go to the hospital.

Your wife has complete control of your life. Tell her to shut up and go get a couple good cheeseburgers man. Take back control, it’s gone too far

That’s not what you said at all. Almost the exact opposite. You took an extremist position and belle is saying y’all are taking shite too far. Then you act like you aren’t extremist

Here’s your points for being fricking weird. I’m sure we could pin you to a certain group in seconds if we had all the info

Should be arrested for man slaughter at the minimum. People are so fricking stupid. Kill your child to just be apart of a group and feel some sort of worth in their shitty lives.

Liberals and conservatives are the same binary thought process people.
Elderberries are delicious and good for you. They do not cute the flu unfortunately.

Because without 21st century medical advancements, medicines, and vaccines our life expectancy would be about 30 years less than what it is now. It’s entirely possible to live as clean a life as possible but still engage in, I dunno, taking your kid to a hospital when they have a 105 degree fever.

See, this comes off as some dressed up “Just take the elderberries and wait it out because it’s “natural”” BS. Why are we not trusting doctors who have gone to school for years for this?

Tylenol is a HUGE no-no for the flu.
Tylenol is what you are supposed to give for fever reduction. You are thinking of Aspirin.

They really aren't that good for you. Maybe for the vitamins but they can be very bad for your body.
