Is there a list of stuff safe to eat?
Anything imported is safe, but then you'll be paying a tariff on it, sooooo.......
The rich.
Raccoon peen, whale carcass, bear testicles.
And don't forget your "ferments".
The list keeps growing. My solution is to not eat a lot and wash my food and hands really well. I figure the less I eat the less chance I’ll get something.
Deregulation-induced anorexia? That's a new one for me.
Don’t write it off. It’s also good for my wallet and bloodwork.
It's all safe, until it is not.
Stuff you grow at home or the local farmers market
Local small farmers are completely unregulated and untested for the foods they produce.
That's not necessarily true at all.
It just varies by jurisdiction and the claims a farm makes.
Always worth a visit to the local farms either way.
Dude, you have three people now in charge of food safety for 400 million, you think they are checking every mom and pop farm?
You think there aren't local authorities as well? I have friends that work for organic certification groups friends that work for state agricultural agencies, nevermind the collectives, granges, growing associations, and counties.
Not to mention the farmers markets themselves that also have food handling and produce handling guidelines.
And again, you can go visit the farms. Lots of people know thier local farms and do CSA's.
Curious why you are saying what you are. What experience do you have with local farmers markets?
They are overpriced and sellers are heavy on the organic bullshit. Ok for local white wine moms. Good source of raw milk.
Organic bullshit. Huh. So you don't know much about them at all?
Do you even know what a CSA is?
Yet still more trustable than government agencies that control quality.
You mean government agencies that don't control quality, since that's what's causing this problem. Food was plenty "trustable" when we actually had government agencies controlling quality.
Yeah. Those raw milk sellers are the paragon of food safety.

The lack of tracking of foodborne illnesses because in the US farmers markets are mostly exempt from regulations and tracking, doesn't correlate to safer food.
Jesus, science better.
Well, when talking about this particular administration's government I can understand why people would be suspect.
I mean sure, since this US MAGA administration gutted the FDA's already stretched ability to inspect the thousands of factories but the blanket statement that unregulated farmers markets are more trustable than ANY given government regulatory body, which is how I interpreted the statement, not US Republican regulatory body is incorrect, especially from someone that has a lemmy.ca after their name.
You've been having dinner with RFK, Jr, haven't you?
