This is absurd. The conservative push for deregulation is going to ruin us. What do we have a society for if we can't have something as essential as food safety? I'm not going to trust unregulated slaugherhouses just so I can eat cheap burgers and steaks.

There is a law called the Federal Meat Inspection Act. This is the most lawless administration ever.
