Illusion of Choice?
Because how are all of these companies giving out poisoned food?
Like, what part of the process did they skip out on in order to make all of this food inedible?
I get that they are cutting corners in order to maximize profits...
But now they can't actually sell their products because they are all poisoned.
So instead of making more profit, they are making no profit because they can't actually sell their products.
And people Still want to say that Capitalism without regulations is a good thing?
Bullshit.

Wasn’t the first recalled item the salad from Taylor Farms?

u/LadenWithSorrow 1d ago
That’s the first one I heard about. That one made me sad because as a lazy vegetarian those salads were my favorite quick meal.

Ironically, I went full vegetarian about 4-5 months ago. After the "beef that the Trump administration refuses to tell you the source" scandal, I thought I was going to be safe, but since then (and a little before then) it's been nothing but recall after recall after recall after recall of a lot of vegetables and some other stuff.
I only buy veggies at farmers markets now, and from actual farmers and not a reseller who has a booth at the market.

lol true, but it definitely sounds like the most miserable way to do it. id rather keep the snacks and just walk more tbh.

First they came for beef, so I ate tofu. Then they came for tofu, so I ate salad. Then they came for salad, so I drank water.
I don't like where this is headed......

Now in Texas they are arresting people for daring to make a FB post about the contaminated water.

Unless the animal ran in front of a car to put itself out of its misery after it ate some human poison "food".

Ask for forgiveness not for permission type oversight. People with no experience and low foresight always push for it.
And it always someone else who suffers the consequences.

I was just thinking, I've been eating lettuce all summer long without issue

u/MistyEyes20 9h ago
It's taylor farms bagged salads from Mexico.
I get full heads of iceburg "product of usa" (no, I'm not capitalizing that)
I'll bet that's what you've had.

u/Mcpr0per 9h ago
I mainly get romaine hearts, or whole romaine heads, or the hyrdoponic Boston lettuce.

Ok somebody compile a list of food that’s not contaminated. Fine in the summer when you can buy local in the us, but come winter we’re fd

u/RocketGruntSam 23h ago
Why are you people still acting like it wasn't contaminated vegetables first? We're talking about agricultural practices so you shouldn't try to simplify it to thinking one type of food is safer than another; your brain has to do the hard work of watching the recalls and hoping that whatever you pick up faster than it's recalled is at least killed by cooking.

u/TonMaru7 18m ago
I swear. Nothing is safe to eat anymore since this administration took control. Its like they hate normal folks and only care about those who can airdrop their foods straight from Europe.

It's almost like massively cutting funds to the FDA, USDA, and CDC is a bad idea. Almost like they were doing something important.
