People ask me why I don't buy from anyone associated with the far-right anymore. "Isn't it difficult? Do you think it really helps? Why do you do it?"
"Cause I might shit my pants" is not an answer I expected to be able to give
EDIT: Actually, I should give that answer every time.
"Why don't you get a Tesla?" Might shit my pants
"Why ditch Microsoft for Linux?" Might shit my pants
"Are you really cancelling your Amazon?" Shiiiit my paaaaants
How do you avoid it? Is there an easy list? I want the same for private equity.
I can get behind that.
Not RIGHT behind, of course. Out of splash range.
Thanks, I needed a good chuckle!
First we didn't buy their lettuce because it was contaminated with parasites. Then we stopped buying their lettuce because they're f'ing MAGA Republicans.
Why would you write contaminated with parasites twice?
MASA make America shit again.
They are literally doing that right now and making America worse again
Remember that Earthbound Organics is also them unfortunately. Carried at Costco
Looks like they did it for shits and giggles. After all magats enjoy the suffering of others.
Seems heavily weighted towards shits over giggles from what I can tell
All shits, no giggles. >:(
They giggle like their gay lover in private.
Gotta love all the "just grow your own!" comments and the lack of awareness about how analogous it is to "just pull yourself up by your bootstraps!"
Or maybe not a lack of awareness, who knows what trolls, bots and influences lurk on lemmy, pushing conservative victim blame. Worked on reddit for plastic straws and personal carbon footprints.
I'm growing my own.
But I have space for a large vegetable garden. Because I'm a rural weirdo. Not everyone has that space but more importantly, gardens take work, and time, and yes, money. Someone who is working two jobs to keep an apartment isn't going to have time to take care of a garden, even if they wanted to. We were supposed to have a society that allowed for people to do jobs other than agriculture.
I propose a federal agency that is tasked with inspecting drugs and food in the US to make sure they're safe. Wouldn't that be cool.
Best I can do is a tapeworm masquerading as a human. Take it or leave it.
My parents keep a large garden. Used to be my grandparents', who relied on it for half their food.
It's a lot of work. It's worth it where I am cause vegetables at the supermarket are often so full of pesticides they taste like gasoline. It's literally a problem money can't solve. But man is it a lot of work... I don't know what will happen when they get too old to do it anymore. I'm not sure I can do it.
Lettuce actually grows pretty easily.
Now you aren't going to trivially have enough to be a staple of your diet or anything, but if lettuce at the store is a problem, you could at least have a few leaves to add some to a few dishes while the issue is worked in the supply chain.
My kid just has a single lettuce plant and pulls a few leaves off to eat with something once in a while. It doesn't need much active care or anything.
At one point my kid had an indoor hydroponic garden going that offered up a bit more vegetation to eat, but keeping that thing maintained was a hassle.
Someone please tell me this isn't just a simple case of this administration telling the FDA to ignore and reverse their accurate findings because the company being impacted is a big MAGA doner?
Sad, I could have not known they were MAGA and kept buying their salads for years. Ah well. Sayonara, taylor salad!
Any recommendations for decent-company salads?
Go to your local farmers market and buy lettuce from and support local farmers
Sorry in advance for the rant, but it’s a bit of a pet peeve of mine when someone asks a question and gets an answer for a completely different question. They specifically asked for salads made by decent companies and you’ve told them to go and buy the ingredients at a market. They basically asked what wattage of lightbulb would be best for their lamp and you’ve recommended a great candlemaker.
I get that in a perfect world we’d all only eat locally-grown produce from small farms and suppliers or grow our own food, but we don’t all have that luxury. Because of economic and social pressures, we often have to make choices we wouldn’t like to make.
Maybe this person doesn’t have the time and energy to travel to a market just to buy lettuce or to make their own salad; maybe that’s cost-prohibitive for them; maybe they live in a food desert; maybe the local grocer is 5 minutes away while their nearest market is an hour’s drive; or maybe they’re looking for a type of lettuce that isn’t grown locally so that they can make dishes that are culturally appropriate for them.
Yeah, this unfortunately. I also recommend buying lettuce from Costco
Someone else in the thread said that Earthbound organics, Costco's brand, is also Taylor farms (note I didn't verify their statement). Costco does seem to hold their produce to a higher standard than everyone else and don't seem to be part of this shitty situation, but that's not helping if your goal is to boycott.
I had lettuce the other day and I also happen to be having diarrhea. Does anyone know if this is a dangerous condition?
I'm getting my medical advice from lemmy because I live in the US and can't afford healthcare...
Most people handle the infection easily. Its dangerous to the immunodeficient, infants and the elderly.
The main risk is from dehydration. So the first recommended treatment is over-the-counter anti-diarrheal medications and drinking lots of fluids.
If it lasts for more than a week or you suffer from symptoms of dehydration (clammy skin, dizziness, not peeing etc) you'll need to seek urgent medical care. Someplace that can give you an IV.
Not a medical DR, I just play one occasionally for shits and giggles. So this could be correct or a bunch of bullshit.
Also not a Dr. Be sure to drink some tea, soup or something with electrolytes occasionally because you will be blasting those out as well
for shits
Your time has come
The giggles will get you through though.
Bold business plan to try to give your customers more diarrhea. I'd love to have listened in on that marketing meeting.
