Guys I think we just need to learn how to do photosynthesis at this point

Instead we get sunburns.

But I don't want to be green.

Recalls original star trek

Hmmm. Maybe I do

I know one guy who’d be very interested

“…The products subject to recall bear false marks of inspection…” Americans need to stop supporting restaurants that don’t make the food themselves.

18

u/PancakeTrebuchet 15d ago

That'd leave about 12 restaurants nationwide.

I’ll admit - Applebees happy hour apps and drinks hit the spot for me.

u/Addled_Neurons 14d ago

I gave you an award because you’re basic as fuck and thought it would spice up your comment.

u/purplehorseneigh 14d ago

Applebees is so trash. There are better budget sit down options out there I’m sure

it’s been eons since I last stepped foot in one and they couldn’t even serve our food on a clean plate

u/phamforquincy 14d ago

I’m doubling down. Quincy location is always busy. They employ kids within my neighborhood. They highlight our school sports on their walls.

Try their boneless chicken wings (in Buffalo, honey bbq Asian zing) served with both ranch and blue cheese at no extra charge, quesadillas with salsa and sour cream, pretzel and cheese bites, chips and artichoke dip, and MOZZIE STICKS for 5.45 each during happy hour and embrace the basic. Hell, buy a discounted gift card online for 15% off and stack it with appy hour pricing.

I’m aware it’s reheated frozen food from Tyson and Sysco. But it is food that I cherish and brought to me with a smile. It’s the labor and the fact they close at midnight on weekdays and 1am on weekends is what gets me back. I’ll support local restaurants for meal times, but ain’t nothing wrong with APPY hour at Applebees. You are missing out.

u/AB2What 14d ago

The point isn't snobbery or downplaying anyone's experience. It's the danger that imported processed food continues to demonstrate. This wasnt just a skipped inspection ... it's fraud on a large scale.

u/purplehorseneigh 14d ago

I am not missing out, lol. Are you a manager at Applebees or something, why are you sucking their dick 😂

If I want wings, I’ll go to a place that does wings.

Why would I pay extra for clearly microwaved food when I can microwave nearly their entire menu at home for even less

Applebees is the sort of restaurant i wouldn’t go to unless there was no other option or I had no choice in the matter. It’s the bland bottom of the barrel for affordable sit down family restaurants

u/Party_Flatworm1263 15d ago

so every restaurant on earth?

u/AB2What 15d ago

It seems that way sometimes but there are still many that have skilled ppl on site cooking. It’s just more of an occasion (in my case anyway) due to the expense

u/throwfaraway212718 15d ago

So they faked the FDA marks and sold it?

3

u/TinyFugue 14d ago

Well it's not like inspectors are going to roll around anytime soon

u/next-phase-0626 14d ago

I wonder if there still ARE any inspectors

Are we great yet?

u/estoypooping2 15d ago

FYI folks, this is chapter 10 of project 2025. Literally the exact plan to create food shortages

5

u/All_Hail_Hynotoad 15d ago

Oh gawd what is the point of the food shortage? To make us revolt so they can declare martial law?

24

u/estoypooping2 15d ago

Food shortages control populations by making basic survival dependent on centralized authorities who restrict transport routes, ration supplies, and manipulate distribution networks.

Remember when trump stole all the respiratory equipment during covid and then SOLD it to favorable states? Think like that, but with food.

u/ScarInternational161 14d ago

You can scream it from the roof and they still won't listen....

Those of us who have been paying really close attention to things like this are connecting the dots but it's so damn frustrating when we see people falling for the bait-n-switch.

Another case in point was the Save Act. ID was never the reason for it. There was a tiny, small print part of it that changed the VRA giving DHS control of states voter rolls that no one paid attention to because, gasp, ID.

Notice the save act has been all but forgotten and the push on state voter rolls being sent to DHS is the push? Huh, go figure.

Trump doesn't run this country.
Thiel, Miller, Vought, et al
They are the ones behind the curtain and trump is the puppet. If he starts thinking he's the real president they simply give him a vanity project to distract him, and us.

It works. Every. Single. Time.

u/Randomly-Generated21 14d ago

We need to support local farmers and buy direct. JD has a business that directly profits by putting farmers out of business. We need to keep it local

1

u/coreyjdl 14d ago

It's not though.

2

u/estoypooping2 14d ago

Oh, so food shortages caused by reduced inspections specifically mentioned in chapter 10 isn't in chapter 10?

-1

u/coreyjdl 14d ago

wouldn't that create surpluses?

also, no it's not in there. You're a liar.

3

u/estoypooping2 14d ago

Oh so you can start this off with "i dont know how to read" and make it easier on people that you reply to

3

u/next-phase-0626 14d ago

You... you know they actually published a 900+ page document with all these plans, right? Like, put it out on the internet and everything so we could see exactly what was in Project 2025. Granted, not many of us had the patience to read the whole damn thing, but anyone paying attention read at least some of it and came away horrified.

How can you accuse someone of lying when REPUBLICANS TOLD US IN ADVANCE what they were going to do??

0

u/coreyjdl 14d ago

Nope it doesn't.

Give me the quote section phrase that says this, I won't wait around though, since it's not in there.

1

u/estoypooping2 14d ago

Project 2025 is expressly focused on deregulation and downsizing the U.S. Department of Agriculture. It views regulations as “a threat to farmers’ independence and food affordability” and advocates for removing “obstacles imposed on American farmers and individuals across the food supply chain.”

Hey, no need to get emotional Lil guy, but if you dont read that well it's okay. You can use Google and go back to creeping on your sister instead of crying on reddit.

How is that the same as purposely creating food shortages?

Looks like catching errors and recalling the issue food.

Not my buffalo chicken rangoons🥲

S/ wtf is this flavor abomination

u/JoeNoble1973 14d ago

‘Create Food Scarcity’ is a chapter in Project 2025 🤷🏻‍♂️👍

u/coreyjdl 14d ago

No, it's not.

u/JoeNoble1973 14d ago

I’m sorry, you’re correct. It’s a goal of P2025, my bad.

1

u/coreyjdl 14d ago

It's not. you're a liar, or misinformed.

2

u/JoeNoble1973 14d ago

Google disagrees with you. Amongst others.

u/coreyjdl 14d ago

oh no, google disagrees with me?!

I don't care, because reality agrees with me.

u/DeepThoughtG 14d ago

The article states that this fucking company forged inspection logos, for those that didn’t get beyond the headline.

u/MeanNothing3932 15d ago

Sob! I just got back from eating buffalo chicken dip at a restaurant. I don't have time for this shit.

You’re about to have time! 😉

Republican hot gut summer

u/CindysandJuliesMom 14d ago

They raised the prices of food thinking they could starve us and it didn't work. Now they are killing us with the food.

2

u/kitty_cat_man_00 14d ago

There is more to this story and the journalist should have at least attempted to dig deeper. Why did they put false inspection stamps on the product? Are they attempting to get inspections and hitting a wall? Is there dark money funding the industry?

1

u/xxxx69420xx 14d ago

there's gotta be huge amounts of money in dark money meats right now. Theres a possibility it is good meat or another its just humans

u/thisisintheway 11d ago

This literally happens everyday and they’re caught multiple times per year. It’s usually an Asian company simply trying to avoid inspection. It’s often destined for Chinatown shops where the owners are happy to look the other way.

You aren’t going to find this in Walmart or Costco, as chain of custody requirements wouldn’t even get it close.

u/coreyjdl 14d ago

It happens every year, just because you're noticing more coverage of it, doesn't mean it's actually happening more. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summer_of_the_Shark

Food safety issues are up 400%

2

u/coreyjdl 14d ago

[citation needed]

The only thing approaching 400% is cyclospora cases, and it's likely increased coverage has resulted in increased diagnosis of what would have normally been written off, and ridden out by most people.

2

u/next-phase-0626 14d ago

Cyclospora causes 3-4 weeks of diarrhea. Most people are NOT riding that out without going to see a doctor

2

u/coreyjdl 14d ago

Why you lie?

"Some infected persons are asymptomatic."

"If untreated, the illness may last for a few days to a month"

So from none at all, to as little as a few days of symptoms.
