A small recompense for decades of jokes at Mexico’s expense, eh?

    Totally cool so long as they stop pouring untreated sewage into the ocean. It’s a bummer for the surfers and the ocean life.

    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.

    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.

        Chlorinated chicken and hormone loaded beef are banned here in the UK and also the EU, I believe.

        We don’t chlorinate our chicken because we have standards of cleanliness that don’t necessitate it.

        You may feel it’s safe, but most would not agree. A trade deal with the US that degrades our standards would make me feel nauseous.

        Actually a lot of the people were locals. There was an article on the Dutch news stating whenever the real Dutch supporters, saw other people wearing orange, the were mostly Americans.

        According to the official figures, just released, out of the 6.5 million visitors, only 1.2 million were international visitors.

    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.

      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

        The Romans did not understand this. Archeology digs in Roman latrines concluded most Romans carried parasites.

      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.

        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.

          I think nature will evolve/select some sort of bacteria that will digest PFAs and plastics, making it a problem that will solve itself. It’ll only take a few hundred thousand years I reckon.

      Good on you for finding a way to do so.

    This is the diplomatic way to say “takes one to know one” in response to the accusation of “shithole country.”

    We are actively, aggressively dismantling as much vital government services as we can to pad the bottom lines of as many oligarchs as possible with the continued Trickle Down Reagan Economics promises that need just one more election cycle to come to fruition, despite all available data pointing to the contrary.

    … but if the data is “woke” I guess it’s to be ignored.
