Companies still have to feed people and not get them sick. Or no return customers.
This is a stupid ass decision but trust the profit lines here. Companies will not want to poison their customers, it’s just bad for business.
It’ll be like the good old days before the FDA when the warning sign that food was contaminated was people dying and companies regularly put additives like sawdust in food because it made their profits better.
We tried self-regulation of all these industries. That’s why we created government regulation.
No they’ll just add things that won’t kill them until they’ve extracted plenty of repeat purchases from them.
That’s easily going to cost Americans Billions in addition healthcare that we already can’t afford
Canadians already mostly stopped buying food from US sources because of the tarrifs, this will be another added reason to stop buying US sourced food.
Hey buy our extra expensive food, now with extra fungus and bacteria! Exta extra illness, buy it while it’s fresh!
Wow! But don’t you all worry, as soon as one of us gets sick or dies, we’ll know who hot food poisoning. And we’ll continued eating it up. Did I miss anything? Like maybe reacting differently to such an event? Nah! That’s why chicken is so expensive! Its all the chlorine!
Eating glass and daily diarrhea to pwn the libs
Better get your freedom gardens in order folks. Good time of year to plant them, right now!
And some freedom chickens.
They’re already saying in some places the vegetables and eggs in your garden are contaminated with PFAS.
Wonder if the PFAS water test kits are any good, or if I should just pony up the $500 and send soil sample off to a lab. Not that I could do anything about it. Still gotta eat.
Plant Hemp. It will grow fast and suck up most of those toxins and store them in the plant and roots. When harvesting just be sure to remove the roots and then till some compost back into the soil to fertilize it. You can easily get hemp from seed to full grown in 12-16 weeks.
It’s great advice, but not if our local water supply is contaminated. I’d need more rain water collection than I have room for!
Don’t forget though that rain water collection is illegal in some places.
Astonishingly enough, in my very, very flawed state, rain water collection is not only legal, there are tax incentives for it. Although with the way things are going, it’s probably only a matter of time before it’s made illegal as another means of control.
Ooh, yeah. That’s definitely a factor to consider.
I’m going to just stick to frozen veggies and cooking them bitches in the oven or skillet. Also, I’ve been hoarding canned food from Aldi made in Germany.
Beautiful.
Let the mass poisonings … BEGIN!
USA currently ranks 49th for life expectancy at birth and will be gowing lower fast. What a shithole country.
Didn’t Elon say the problem with Social Security is that Americans live too long?
These are “people” that have never read The Jungle.
(Assuming they’ve ever read any book at all…)
Guess we’ll be expanding our diet to maggots, bug parts, and salmonella/e-coli whether we want them or not.
🙄 🤡 🖕
I remember being annoyed when reading The Jungle because it correctly called out problems with industry, politics, and I think unions, but posited socialism as the way forward.
Now I see that I was just under the spell of capitalistic dogma, and it was completely correct in every way. 😄
And of course the same people are whining about a globalist conspiracy to make them eat bugs
And lots of vitamin D! Which according to stience cures almost everything.
Those conservatives love their daily dose of D; whether it’s orally or topically, they can’t get enough.
Never been a better time to try meat alternatives like Quorn or Impossible, which likely will be far less risky compared to unregulated Upton Sinclair meat 2.0.
Especially Quorn, which is made in Ireland and thus has to pass EU safety inspections.
Don’t conservatives hate the fake meat industry? They will go for that and make it illegal next probably.
Impossible has been harassed with shady recall and regulatory practices lately. I can hardly find their products anymore and they used to be everywhere where I shop.
Feom what I can tell vegetables have been a lot more problematic recently. Though I’m just going from headlines.
This is how you drive people to eat fast food.
I guess someone missed the deadly onion issue with Wendy’s recently
That’s an unprocessed vegetable. Get rid of them.
Nothing but chemical filled junk for the filthy peasants!
I like this other meat alternative called vegetables, don’t know what the brand is though
It’s easier to switch people to plant based meats than it is to cut out meat-like foods entirely and potentially abandon their cherished family or cultural recipes that involve meat.
It’s all plants in the end, after all, with all the climate emission and health benefits that brings :)
Sorry for the snarky comment, I just personally don’t see the need for meat shaped plant based products that cost 10 times what their ingredients would cost. To each their own though, still better than giving your money to the industrial meat industry.
And the over production plus the addition of whatever additives are added to make vegetable proteins look, feel and taste somewhat like meat.
In the case of Quorn, it’s mainly Mycroprotein, a type of fungus that naturally grows into a meat-y like texture and has a neutral flavor that absorbs spices or vegan stocks really well. They do use a little egg whites as a binder, making it vegetarian, not vegan (unfortunate), but it doesn’t really have any nasty additives. It’s basically a fancy mushroom.
Impossible Beef is definitely more processed, but there’s nothing in the ingredients list that stands out as particularly bad to me:
Ingredients: Water, Soy Protein Concentrate, Sunflower Oil, Coconut Oil, 2% Or Less Of: Natural Flavors, Methylcellulose, Cultured Dextrose, Food Starch Modified, Yeast Extract, Dextrose, Soy Leghemoglobin, Salt, Vitamin E (Tocopherols), L-Tryptophan, Soy Protein Isolate,
Vitamins and Minerals: Zinc, Vitamins (B3, B1, B6, B2, and B12)
Gotta watch the veggies too. Vegetable crops on mass scale are often fertilized with liquid manure or liquified human excrement by spraying in the case of large farms near large metropolitan areas.
Many areas that grow veggies also grow cattle and other animals which often pollutes with runoff, the water sources for vegetable farmers and meat farmers alike.
No one is saved by this. Not the veggies or the carnivores. It’s bad all around. Quit infighting because you eat different food. You have a dictator controlling your government and courts.
Lettuce is gonna have a huge body count alone.
Yep, this and mushrooms will need to come off the shopping list.
A perfect opportunity to venture into the wonderful world of mycology. Learn how to find and identify mushrooms in nature and how to grow your own mushrooms at home. Why limit yourself to supermarket mushrooms?
i guess there were too many recalls.
