Not putting one gram of US hormone infused, anti-biotic filled, chlorinated garbage from the US in my body - ever.
Canadian farmers are allowed to use antibiotics and hormones in food animals, and tap water is chlorinated and fluorinated...
The issue with chlorinated chicken isn't about the chlorine itself, it's because it's a process used to counter unsafe/dirty farming conditions, and can make it harder to detect the bacteria and salmonella in the end product.
You trusted them in the first place???
Even as an American, right now I wouldn’t trust the US for shit.
Never should have, this is the country famous for sawdust bread
I absolutely do not need a professor to answer this question. Also what the actual fuck kind of response is "we should be skeptical". Is this the headline for an article in "'Duh' weekly" or something? Well, No shit Dr. Empiricism; of course we should. Boycott that shit into oblivion.
They did before?!
as someone who has worked in multiple food manufacturing and preparation facilities in the US:
NO AND YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE TRUSTED IT BEFORE
No
Fuck no - we literally can't trust the US for anything right now.
Yeah food is something I never trusted the Americans with. As for privacy and stuff from tech, it was a "the devil I know," situation.
Software is something I think we're sleeping on. Any Windows machine, Android, iOS, should be considered compromised due to them being developed by American companies. The solutions to this currently are either effectively or quite literally non-existent.
And food safety was questionable before. We stopped buying cantalopes and onions from the US years ago. I rather do without than get ecoli or listeria.
Why should one trust the US with food safety from the start? Have you ever noticed how much artificial gunk they have on the ingredient lists that are illegal in half of the world, sometimes even in China, of all places?
Unless you're getting it from California specifically (which has its own food safety shit that is almost as good as much of the EU), I wouldn't trust our federal food safety, either. And I say this as an American.
Wasn't there an old documentary about this called the Corporation about Fox News burying the story about US milk and Canada being concerned about the cover up?
Trump and Musk are intentionally dismantling safeguards from within and also trying to sell their chlorinated chicken to the UK so yeah probably not.
also what AlolanVulpix' saying +1.
also what AlolanVulpix’ saying +1.
Woot, woot!
No one should trust the USA for ANYTHING at this point.
Well, except maybe chaos and malice.
The answer is no, and has been no for a while.
