girls I know this isn’t at the top of the concerns list but you’re gonna want to stop eating commercially produced meat real soon
this got more attention than I thought. if you’re confused:
7 ways the Trump administration has deregulated the food system during the Covid-19 pandemic
Trump administration indefinitely delays key food safety protections
he had promised to fully deregulate and privatize food safety inspections in his second term. this is to favor massive producers and reduce their costs at the expense of public health and safety. the reason why I make immediate mention of this is because anything that can be construed as “culture war” makes the news and everyone finds out about. these things, however, happen quietly because they aren’t sensational stories for the media to profit off of clicks with. the recent numerous recalls can be tied back to these first term rollbacks, which went over so quietly and discreetly no one demanded reinstatement during the Biden admin.
I appreciate the hustle for the warning in OP’s post and yet as a disabled household with several severe food allergies and with four people paying a mortgage and we are still below the poverty line I cannot help but feel anger because this feels extremely unhelpful at best.
#I am trying so hard to sit here and reason out the intent and target audience but we literally cannot stop#we can eat chicken beef and pork and tofu and that is it. SOME fish. mostly just certain whitefish.#that’s it that is our protein#and if we don’t eat we die#so like#i am maybe just a little bit pissed
Can we please stop with this, for real? This is not about your hyperspecific personal circumstances. I get it. This sucks for all of us. We are all caught up in this to some extent or another. But seriously, you’re mad at OP for not taking your specific needs and availability and budget into account when warning people about deregulation of food safety, when we are either still in the middle of or just finished a HUGE issue with pre-cooked chicken, and it’s about to get worse?
It’s extremely unhelpful for them to literally say “I know it’s not at the top of the concerns list but” and then provide a bunch of sources about a literally deadly issue? Like… seriously, what?
Stop lashing out at people putting out warnings with sources into the world. It’s embarrassing to witness.
