What is the world coming to?

The EU won't allow the absolute garbage we eat in the US to be imported as food into the EU.

"It's a trade barrier! It's a tariff!"

No it's fucking not. Change the way you make your garbage food, US. Not everybody wants to eat trash and sugar all day.

did a segment this morning on food safety and said DOGE fired 3,500 employees of the FDA, the majority of them worked in the food safety sector. The guy they interviewed talked about the consequences consumers are going to face because of this. It was frightening. The whole 7 minute segment is worth watching.

Those damned libruls! And give extra kickbacks to chemical companies. Mmmmm! Dinner's ready!

I don't remember there even being corporate farms.

The CBS story also interviewed a real farmer out in California. Their farm goes above and beyond the most stringent safety processes even though California has fairly tough standards for growing. I found that part very interesting.

Gee, I wonder why? I never told on them.

Food preparation standards in the UK (at least, at that time - 84) didn't meet Canadian standards. It was vacuum-packed pate bought at Harrod's.

On a similar, but different note, I had packaged potato salad confiscated on my trip home from Ottawa to Vancouver, in case it was some kind of plastic explosive. This was post-911, of course.
