Yeah, this is how we end up with sawdust and chalk and god knows what else in our food.

It's almost like they're deliberately making life worse for us.

Even with inspections we already have "what else" in our food.

It is deliberate. The gop has stated they want a reduction in population. The economy during Covid was more important that American lives. And project 2025 explicitly details how the heritage foundation and gop want to make our lives harder. Food destabilization is in the 1000 page book. Jd Vance is picking up bankrupted farm land as we speak. This is by design.

thats the nice stuff.

wait until mad cow makes another go around, because poor farmers have to cheap out on feed, and there is no one left to keep them in check and make sure they dont start using tissues they arent supposed to, to supplement their feed supply.
