    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.

    🙄 🤡 🖕

    Let the mass poisonings … BEGIN!

    USA currently ranks 49th for life expectancy at birth and will be going lower fast. What a shithole country.

    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!

    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.

    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.
