MODERATORS
Free market folks love to crow about the invisible hand and market corrections (and they're not completely wrong). They just forget that, in the real world, "market correction" often looks like people dying.
I don't think they forget. I just don't think they care.
How is this POSSIBLE to have SO MANY Deadly Outbreaks? We FIRED the People RESPONSIBLE for Ensuring this Doesn't happen! That's EXACTLY how you Ensure it Doesn't Happen!
-DOGE!
As we all know from COVID, if you don't have data on a thing, it stops existing.
Can we make a list of foods we can’t eat? I’m losing track.
Just thoroughly cook everything. We’re back to medieval peasant cooking rules.
At this point it would be easier to list foods you CAN eat.
Anything grown yourself
They laughed at me when I planted my hemlock grove. WELL WHO'S LAUGHING N...
- plain chips*
*make sure they're imported from Europe
End of list.
I just skip any produce that has "Produced in USA" on the sign. I mean, I was already doing that, though now I might also avoid touching it and skip produce that is right next to anything with "Produced in USA".
The lettuce and this (jalapeño) outbreak were both from farms in Mexico, I believe
Oh so is it getting to more people now because the cuts stopped it from being intercepted as it entered the US market (as in these Mexican farms had outbreaks at this same rate but they would be detected and stopped), or did the cuts affect how the farms in Maxico were run and frequency of events that need to be detected (but aren't) also increased?
Not an expert, but I found this article (stupid video in corner warning): https://www.cbsnews.com/news/taylor-farms-mexico-fda-inspection-cyclosporiasis-outbreak/
Looks like the FDA does inspections of foreign facilities, so there should have been a US inspection in Mexico at the farm/plant. However, the FDA is underfunded for its targets and has been for years, and then the cuts made a bad situation worse by firing people.
Isn't Whole Foods home of the $6 carrot? Isn't the insane cost of produce at this yuppie palace supposed to be about higher quality?
It's the Trump admins War on Tacos
Ahhhh I see where you are confused. Trump is the one bringing the tacos. They must have been on sale because he brought a whole lot of them.
TACO-expert Trump declares war on the taco makers. It only makes sense he'd declare war on tacos themselves.
remember when china put to death that criminal business person?
This article feels like fucking propaganda, with how much they avoided saying the source of the outbreak: Taylor Farms
They mention a dozen stores and restaurants, but wait many paragraphs before mentioning Taylor Farms, which they call Taylor Fresh Foods, which us a subsidiary
They mention the other stores and restaurants because people know where they shop and eat, not what company produces the food they eat. Not everything is a conspiracy.
Also Taylor Fresh Foods Inc. does business as Taylor Farms. It's the same company.
2026 es el año de no fiesta...🙁
In English it's allowed to say "twenty twenty-six". Is it allowed in Spanish to refer to years as "veinte veinte y seis"?
Remember when Amazon sourced responsibly from local farms? That's why it was more expensive? Pepridge farm remembers.
everyone should read The Jungle, as required reading. it’s practically a documentary.
Wow, so Whole Foods sells Taylor Farms too?
What the fuck.
im pretty ok with whole food customers dying of lettuce ass
