It's fake!

This image of a woman waving a white headscarf is from the mass anti-government protests in Iran.

Below is an excerpt from the explosive book _Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House._

This story has circulated on unreliable websites for months, but it's not true. A spokesperson for Walmart [told PolitiFact](http://www.politifact.com/punditfact/statements/2018/jan/02/ufconly/fake-news-walmart-employees-operating-meth-lab-sto/) they are unaware of any meth labs being discovered in Alabama stores.

Clickbait headlines have been misleading about scientific reports on the subject, [Snopes reports](https://www.snopes.com/chocolate-extinct-40-years/), so you don't have to hoard any chocolate.

Chocolate is on track to go extinct in the next 40 years.

Don't worry — it will get better. Do some reading and stay vigilant. Better luck next week.

Congratulations, you're unstoppable. Nothing can beat your BS-detecting instincts. But keep your nose to the ground. Fake news is always around.

You're a fake news–fighting superhero!
