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?
Recommend growing what you know is safe. The amount of "could kill you" mushrooms in the US is fairly low IIRC, but the amount of "this looks almost identical to an edible species but will make your day/week Not Fun" species is high enough in most places that I wouldn't chance my luck on foraging.

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.
Wonder if the PFAS water test kits are any good, or if I should just pony up the $500 and send soil sample off to a lab. Not that I could do anything about it. Still gotta eat.
Plant Hemp. It will grow fast and suck up most of those toxins and store them in the plant and roots. When harvesting just be sure to remove the roots and then till some compost back into the soil to fertilize it. You can easily get hemp from seed to full grown in 12-16 weeks.
It's great advice, but not if our local water supply is contaminated. I'd need more rain water collection than I have room for!
Don't forget though that rain water collection is illegal in some places.
Astonishingly enough, in my very, very flawed state, rain water collection is not only legal, there are tax incentives for it. Although with the way things are going, it's probably only a matter of time before it's made illegal as another means of control.
Ooh, yeah. That's definitely a factor to consider.
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.
I guess someone missed the deadly onion issue with Wendy's recently
That’s an unprocessed vegetable. Get rid of them.
Nothing but chemical filled junk for the filthy peasants!
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.

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 bitches in the oven or skillet. Also, I’ve been hoarding canned food from Aldi made in Germany.
