Remember to thoroughly cook your food and wash your hands. Including fruit and vegetables now, apparently.

wont stop the toxins from poisoning you, most bacterial toxins are heat stable. the most problematic bacteria would E.coli O15:H7 since it produces a nasty toxin that cause uremic syndrome, and hemorrhagic diarrhea. its a problem when the bacteriophage is present which carries the plasmid for the toxins which infects bacteria giving them the toxin produciing abilities. some bacterial toxins come from lysogenic bacteriophages(viruses), otherwise the bacteria would be most harmless
Welcome to The Jungle
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.
Can definitely see that!
That's easily going to cost Americans Billions in addition healthcare that we already can't afford
Food testing isn't really needed when the food runs out. This administration is just thinking ahead.
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 going 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.
