Back to the fucking MAGAts. If US meat makes into the EU market, I hope my fellow consumers are smart enough to avoid that and let it rot on the shelves.

been saying this since November.
I've been stocking up on cold meds and the like since the day after we found out the results. get a bottle or two every time you get groceries.
with birdflu on the horizon it's only a matter of time.
It gets worse: MAGAts will use the lack of recalls as evidence that food is safer now.
Ah yes, the just stop testing method. Worked flawlessly every other time it was attempted.
I'm expecting more batshit things like nutrition labels will be horribly exaggerated. "This Mac and Cheese dinner is ONE serving. Calories: 240. Because it's YOUR DINNER!" or some shit.
Would be great when Europe stop accepting food imports from the US.
What food? They are going to deport the workforce that harvests it.
I suspect they will make rules harsher for some kinds of labor migration, while relax them for other kinds.
Musk has businesses too, especially since he's moving everything to Texas.
What it all looks like for me is the new administration promising and apparently going to do things in exactly the same logic as the previous administration, but with less elaborate excuses. Same power redistribution, but done uglier.
About the effect on the economy and replacing the workforce - it seems that they want Americans to work those jobs. That may be interesting.
Also I think I've read something about having appetites at hitlerizing not just Canada, but also Mexico. Then, it seems, they will come to the workforce. Dunno how that mixes with Trump's bigotry, but future is always unpredictable.
They're going to use more prison labor.
Slavery, it’s called S L A V E R Y.
correct
I'm pretty sure a lot of stuff would already not be allowed for import here and only the products that pass EU regs can be imported en masse (not like specialty shops/foreign section etc).
It’s the enshittification of the presidency once again.
As long as they leave my top ten GDP Blue state alone, dumb hicks can lead poison and E.Coli themselves into early graves. Maybe it'll increase the housing supply.
Blue Governors were able to do some mitigation of Trump last time. I'm hoping for it again.
Trump II: the diarrhea times
Trump 2: the shittening
One pandemic was simply not enough.
~~Pestilence~~, Famine, War, and Death.
Choose your next card mortal.
The famine is nigh inevitable, nearly 20% rise in homelessness, folks are already stressed about food and that’s still going wild in price
I’m told eggs will be cheaper
The president retracted his promise to reduce food prices already.
yeah but tHeY DiDn'T giVe Us AnY gOoD CanDiDaTeS!!
That's why so many threw their fucking votes in the sewers. Plus Harris had a situation in her past which could be read uncharitably!!!
Why do you hate [it doesn't matter, put anything in here]?!?!
I think a decent response here would be to boycott processed foods
The majority of foodborne illness outbreaks have been from contamination of unprocessed food.
Thanks to manure.
Which follows, because processing and cooking kills a lot of the bacteria in food.
I'm trying to remember what the other most likely contaminated food was, but the one I remember is alfalfa sprouts.
My wife and I had terrible food poisoning around 10 years ago, she had it worse than me, and her dish was covered in sprouts while I merely sampled some of it.
I'm not sure how great this source is but this is one of them. Taking guidance from what has been contaminated most in the past and the ways you can avoid it is probably the safest course forward without a working FDA:

The EPA and FDA set limits and regulate pesticide, herbicide, and antibiotic use. A raw or paleo diet probably won't help much without both agencies.
Sadly the vast majority of people are either poor or time poor so it’s not an option for many.
It costs more to eat fresh produce, you have to shop for it more, and it takes more time to prepare.
Well... a lot of handling rules for fresh foods are REALLY dangerous to get rid of. Idk. I guess, wash and cook everything. Don't eat any salad.
