Trumps Revenge

Mexico: "They certainly give us the shits!"

[–] quick_snail@feddit.nl 24 points 1 day ago

As a family owned and operated company, we are deeply concerned for those who became ill, their families, and the many Americans whose trust in the safety of their fresh produce has been shaken

What a fucking load of bull.

The likely reason for this outbreak is because you didn't provide toilets to your farm workers, who had to shit in the fields where they work.

Not even an apology for your workers, you PR scum.

Lmao. I was at a grocery store the other day and buying some grapes. Some old 70+ year old lady said I shouldn't buy Mexican produce because they use poop for fertilizer. I laughed looked her in the face and asked her what she thought we used for fertilizer. She didn't like that.

Just published today in The Guardian:

The Trump administration has killed proposed regulations for sewage sludge contaminated with Pfas and spread on farmland as fertilizer, a practice that has sickened farmers, destroyed their livelihoods, killed livestock, polluted water supplies, and poisoned meat and food products sold to the public.

Yeah he really cares about the heartland 🙄

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

And the farmers will continue to vote Republican.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 day ago

Fertilizer just increased 50% in price. Enjoy, hicks.

[–] TriplePlaid@wetshav.ing 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Allowing continued spreading of PFAS contaminated sludge is beyond horrible because those chemicals will stay there permanently. Around 1/3 or so of USA cropland is already polluted from spreading of sludges. There is nothing in nature that can break PFAS down, so all that polluted land will have to literally be removed and stored similar to hazardous nuclear waste.

When we finally realize the damage and start work to repair it, it will be the largest remediation project in human history.

asked her what she thought we used for fertilizer.

70+-year-old ladies. It works so well because they're full of shit.

[–] quick_snail@feddit.nl 8 points 1 day ago (4 children)

There's a way to safely use poop for fertilizer. You have to compost it to kill pathogens first.

Neither counties do this, and that's one reason people get e-coli, parasites, and other diseases

Real Americans use synthetic petroleum fertilizer like God intended.

Who the fuck is voluntarily going to the US in the first place?

[–] bitchkat@lemmy.world 4 points 22 hours ago

A lot of soccer fans did.

[–] WanderingThoughts@europe.pub 21 points 1 day ago (4 children)

The stadiums for the world cup were pretty full with non-USA

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 23 points 1 day ago

Yea if you’re willing to give FIFA money why not give USA some money too. We’re not talking about the brightest bulbs here.

34 states? Isn't that the number felonies?

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

The number of states/felonies, so far.

[–] M137@lemmy.today 26 points 1 day ago (8 children)

This is a valid thing even without the current diarrhea epidemic.
US food is objectively shit, the poor quality and ingredients that are banned almost everywhere else being only some of many reaasons.
