    … what are we supposed to fucking do? I can stop eating meat but it’s not like I can stop eating altogether. Am I just going to get food poisoning a few times over the course of this nightmare administration? Do I have to wait 4 fucking years to enjoy eating without worrying about getting sick?

    Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

      I worked in an industrial bakery for a while and was so mortified by the cleanliness and safety conditions that I basically only ate fresh vegetables & fruits and dry beans for several months because I was so worried about eating anything that had been under a factory roof

      Was it good for my dietary health? Probably, but I spent a ridiculous amount of time on cooking and food prep and neglected other areas of my life to make up for it.

      Everything sucks.

          Yes. As I am insane, I also treat my raw fruits and vegetables with a UV light (not that this would inactivate endotoxins though. For that you’re SOL)

          Always wash the ever loving FUCK out of your produce and dry legumes.

    The FDA was already fucking worthless. I got severe food poisoning from some grocery store pre-boiled eggs some years ago, and when I asked them to look into it to prevent other people getting sick, they just connected me with the grocery store lawyers who were just useless and defensive.

    A whole bunch of libertarians are about to find out what the unregulated “free market” for food is like.

    And when they get sick and/or die, someone make sure that they know its their own fault for not doing enough research before eating.

      They knew this over a hundred years ago when Upton Sinclair reported on it and motivated the government to found the FDA. It made everyone more disgusted about what was in their food rather than the cost of human misery workers paid to produce it. Why do people forget the lessons of the past?

        Why do people forget the lessons of the past?

        All the people that would normally slap them upside their head die off.

        A lot of those types don’t forget. They just think that now that the issue is gone(even when it isn’t) the organizations are “government overreach” now.

        And that it’ll be idiots who die from not being safe etc not them

          Memory is short. Enough generations have passed that people only see the “awful” taxes required to maintain things like inspections. Wonder how many generations have to pass before they decide they are needed again. It is similar to how those who remember the horrors of smallpox and polio are all pretty much dead now.

    I don’t belive the headline is accurate, based on my reading of the article.

    It looks line they area going to continue reading the food for safety. What they have stopped doing is making sure the tests are run properly.

    I’m not suggesting that this is a noteworthy improvement, nor am I 100% sure my reading is correct. But I prefer the accurate information to the inaccurate.

      Less regulations means reduced production costs for the oligarch corporate owners. So it is good for them and them only, as every single policy coming from the Trump administration.

          But they have their chefs prepare and cook their foods, they can afford the clean version, they’re still protected from the consequences of their actions because of their money
