The invisible hand will eventually be covered in piss
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.
Don’t forget they say avoid ultra processed foods and refined sugars! So basically you can’t eat anything
chili, whale liver, potato salad, and the rest of the potluck are all “real food”
forgot most people won’t get the sarcasm in the whale lover joke, don’t eat whale liver it contains enough vitamins to kill you
Hell yes. Kratky method hydroponics. I want you start this up so badly. Thinking maybe a lettuce of some sort
I should start my community and it’s experiments with this.
You might be right!
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.
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.
Its sharp decline there worries me much more…
Year isn’t over yet.
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.
The worst years in recent history were 2011 with 33 deaths and 2024 with 19 deaths. We’re at 2 so far this year. It’s true that the cyclospora outbreak made an unusually high amount of people sick, though.
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
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’.
Its reality, not a fear
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.
To be fair, Trump is so senile that he’s probably forgotten that poop is supposed to be solid.
His diaper collects it all, he doesn’t know or care how or when it gets there.
What’s that day about maga
What’s that day about maga
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.
😑
Hope you’re not stuck too much longer, awful.
Just got done with it; get those antibiotics as soon as you can.
They brought back beef tallow for fries.
Mission accomplished?
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.
Do you just post this everywhere?
Does that make it any less true?
I post it wherever I consider it relevant to the topic.
Every time you post it you should put it in quotes and end it with --nonentity for a stylist touch.
I wonder how those flesh eating maggots are doing?
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.”
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
You mean operating like a third world country is a bad idea?
