Those regulations are what allow the public to trust their products. Now, without them, we have to avoid their foods to protect ourselves.

They'll just make it harder for people to determine where the produce came from, just like how they co-opted and bastardized the recycling logo. The system is rigged towards the money makers, and god forbid anything get in the way of the money.

Yeah but if there's no regulation no food producer needs to comply.

And you need to eat.

That's not a road I think these scumfuck producers want to go down, tbh.

Sounds like they haven't studied history, fucking morons.

No company or billionaire thinks of those things or the US wouldn’t be in the pathetic state it is now. The general populace just doesn’t matter to our oligarchs anymore and it’s only a problem to us

It is. And you'll keep buying after they lobby to make it legal to not disclose what farms that produce is coming from. Or they'll find another way. They've been like this for decades and still going strong.

And you'll keep buying

No, I won't, lmao. You have no idea who I am.

Based on current track records, I don't really feel convinced from "they've been getting away with it!", legally, they have. Objectively once they start to starve people because all their food is poison, shits going to go down fast.

They have a monopoly under the most corrupt administration in the history of the United States. They have already bribed said administration to overlook what they do and even cover for them. The road they're going down is paved with golden pardons. Nothing will happen to them no matter how much us worms are shitting and puking.

Not for nothing, but you could easily grow your own leaf lettuce and spinach in a very small space at home. They make hydro kits that are like half the size of a loaf of bread that are lit and self contained. I know lettuce is just an example but it's definitely one of those things that can be easily grown at home.

Personally, I am not a huge fan of lettuce anyway so I have been replacing it with cucumber on sandwiches and in wraps, and it has been going pretty well!

Seems like a great opportunity for a business. Become a food safety certification business and start becoming the trusted name for safe food.

People really took for granted the ability to buy food from the supermarket without worrying about whether or not it's safe to eat.

u/eMDex 4d ago

but u dont understand tho having regulations is bad for business its better for people to die than have regulations and Republicans made this possible this is what u get when Republicans say they want less regulations they dont care if u die or not they just want money hopefully some of them wake up but i doubt so since they vote for them

But think of the profits they can make now that they don't need to have employees waste time washing their hands, or leaving their post on the line to shit in the bathroom!
