My sister in law died this morning from a bad listeria infection.

While the source hasn't been identified, I have little doubt it can be traced to the current administrations lackluster food safety policies.

Her two sons will grow up without a mother because of these fascist pricks lust for wealth and power. It won't be okay until they're all gone.

Wow, I'm so sorry to hear that. As a non-American, I didn't realize the food safety situation was this dire. What an unnecessary, pointless death. How many more until the people finally turn on the government? Food is about as non-partisan or bi-partisan as you can get.

During lockdown, Americans died of covid in the ICU while denying the existence of covid with their last hacking breath. Soon Americans will chow down on diarrhea groceries like Jonestown.

A man threatened my coworkers life over him reminding them to wear a mask the next time they came, trump and his ilk (including all republicans and the now corporate-owned media) are squarely to blame.

As an American, I'm not sure I'll ever root for America again.

[-] nightofmichelinstars@sopuli.xyz 7 points 4 days ago

Right there with you buddy. I'm sorry that happened to your coworker. Things are bad and getting worse fast.

[-] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

How many more until the people finally turn on the government?

It's already starting to happen. Avowed socialists winning special elections in formerly lopsided Trump districts, etc. About fucking time.

My deepest condolences

[-] be_gt@feddit.nu 23 points 4 days ago

That is horrifying, try to take care of yourself and the rest of your family.

Don't you worry about it. Soon there will be no more recalls, just mysterious diseases that unfortunately nobody could have prevented.

A healthy, broadly educated population, which feels safe and secure, is incompatible with, and toxic to, conservative and authoritarian ideologies.

They need you to be sick, stupid, and scared.

The goal is to have THE FREEDOM to sell you bad food without THE MAN telling those poor innocent businesses to toss it out or shut down.

[-] jtrek@startrek.website 47 points 4 days ago

Conservatives are incapable of good government. They don't believe in it. They don't understand it. They're shitty people.

[-] tigermountain@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

I have a fear, hopefully unfounded, that cuts to these programs, along with ignoring or getting rid of data is an attempt by this administration to get rid of any information that might contradict their narratives while also allowing big business more free reign. And then there's the immensely ominous statement they've put out in these situations where they essentially say these changes are to support 'changing administrative priorities'.

[-] revelrous@sopuli.xyz 3 points 3 days ago

Yes. The good old 'if we stop testing covid will go away approach'.

It feels like this is the oligarchs last scramble to snatch what they can before collapse hits a stride.

[-] uberdroog@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Its reality, not a fear

[-] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 23 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Funny, I'm reading this while on the toilet shitting my brains out because I probably have cyclospora.

Wait that's not funny, that fucking sucks.

What they say and what they do is two seperate things.

STOP listening to them and START watching what they are doing.

And then, vote according to what you saw.

The invisible hand will eventually be covered in piss

[-] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 11 points 4 days ago

Conservatives tend to die first in harsh times, because they don't know how to take care of their health, funny how that works.

Yet during COVID they were all parroting the party of personal responsibilities

[-] unitedwithme@lemmy.today 13 points 4 days ago

Don't forget they say avoid ultra processed foods and refined sugars! So basically you can't eat anything

[-] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 6 points 4 days ago

Hell yes. Kratky method hydroponics. I want you start this up so badly. Thinking maybe a lettuce of some sort

[-] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 2 points 3 days ago

I should start my community and it's experiments with this.

You might be right!

To be fair, Trump is so senile that he's probably forgotten that poop is supposed to be solid.

[-] smeenz 8 points 4 days ago

His diaper collects it all, he doesn't know or care how or when it gets there.

[-] BananaPeal@sh.itjust.works 8 points 4 days ago

What most people don't realize is that MAHA and MAGA aren't political slogans indicating their goals. They are actually telling us what to do: "Make America Great/Healthy Again, because we're certainly not going to do it."

[-] pachrist@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

They brought back beef tallow for fries.

Mission accomplished?

[-] davidagain@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago

They also said they would make America great again. Guess what's actually happening!

[-] chunes@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

The number of recalls hasn't changed significantly. It's one of those things that is constantly happening and only gets picked up by the news when it starts getting clicks for whatever reason. It's like when that train derailed in Ohio and then the media made everyone think there was a sudden epidemic of train derailments.

I say this not in defense of the current administration, but to calm potentially over-frazzled nerves.

[-] frank@sopuli.xyz 24 points 4 days ago

My partner used to work for the FDA doing food safety stuff.

That's actually part of the problem. The recalls are happening not preemptively but after it's killing people. People dying from the e coli blueberries then initiating a recall. Nevermind how little prevention is happening before things go to market. Quality and production are always at odds with each other, but the threat of law was the only thing giving quality ammo. Now it's just pure unfettered capitalism

[-] Rothe@piefed.social 22 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

This is like posting one of those graphs showing reported rapes in various countries. They show that there are almost no rapes in Saudia Arabia, while countries like Sweden are apparently the rape capital of the world. You are confusing reported cases with the huge shadow number of unreported cases.

The US administration gutted the agencies responsible for recalling food, of course there won't be a rise, because most toxic food won't be reported by the FDA anymore.

[-] communist@lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz 12 points 4 days ago

Its sharp decline there worries me much more...

[-] electric_nan@lemmy.ml 12 points 4 days ago

Year isn't over yet.

[-] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 7 points 4 days ago

Now do illness and deaths related to foodborne disease. If recalls were a good proxy for the outcomes people care about, then the best course of action for public health would be to put a stop to all recalls.
