FDA making plans to end its routine food safety inspections, sources say

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.
🙄 🤡 🖕
- And of course the same people are whining about a globalist conspiracy to make them eat bugs
- 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 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.

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?

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.

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?

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.
- 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.
- 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.
- I like this other meat alternative called vegetables, don't know what the brand is though
  
  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 scale 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.
  
  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 :)
  
  I still hate that we’re in the stage of capitalism where kids will only eat fruit if you slap a sticker with a Disney character on it first.
- Especially those meat alternatives are in danger. Have you ever looked up the ingredients and especially the chemicals put into a "vegan nugget"?
  Any industry now f-ing up one chemicals' purity and safety can really do a number on a lot of people who thought they took the safer route.
  
  Farther down in another comment, I point out to another user that the ingredients of Impossible beef are quite mundane and not at all concerning. Here's the ingredients list for Impossible Chicken nuggets:
  Water, Wheat Flour, Soy Protein Concentrate, Soybean Oil, Sunflower Oil, Potato Starch, Methylcellulose, Natural Flavors, Salt, Cultured Dextrose, Wheat Gluten, Yeast Extract, Yellow Corn Flour, Dextrose, Food Starch Modified, Sugar, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Spices, Leavening (Cream of Tartar, Sodium Bicarbonate), Dried Yeast, Paprika Extract (for color), Vitamin E (Tocopherols), Zinc, Vitamins (B3, B5, B1, B6, B2, and B12)
  None of those jump out as particularly unhealthy or dangerous to me. The Soybean oil probably isn't the best for you due to not being expeller pressed, but otherwise, nothing that would kill you.

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!

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.

Eating glass and daily diarrhea to pwn the libs

i guess there were too many recalls.

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!

Welcome to The Jungle
- Youre in the jungle baby! Youre gonna dieeeee!

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

Beautiful.

I’m going to just stick to frozen veggies and cooking them removed in the oven or skillet. Also, I’ve been hoarding canned food from Aldi made in Germany.

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!
