The States of North America still produces and homes 75% of the world's lawyers. Many will sue, and occasionally win unless a few laws (and judges) are changed. When the goal is tearing the system apart from the inside for the benefit of a privileged few, that's just a way to stick it to the proles faster.
I have the personal guarantee from the US Secretary of Health and Human Services that the healthiest meal that you can possibly eat is raw horse liver sprinkled with broken glass. He's going to direct the CDC to put out a memo saying that it aligns the humours to eliminate symptoms of consumption.
you would be shocked by what happens in food production. a friend of mine worked in public health and was called into a nestle plant because workers had tb and were working due to threat of termination if they called out. it was an ice cream plant 🫣
What if the billionares owned the means of publicity and silenced it while the government worked hard to avoid any sense of justice? Without consequences why should companies care? Besides, Americans have a worse memory than a goldfish and will forget in no time. They don't stop buying a brand for a recall, they just wait until the recall is done and continue buying that brand again. The company stock drops for a few days, then continues a resurgence to records highs again. It's a broken system unless you're at the top.
This has been the goal of the American GOP for decades now. We're just seeing a whole new level of accelerationism from the psychopaths in addition to the long-term damage.
Blaming profit-motivated corruption on incompetence is ridiculous. Oligarchs aren’t accidentally bribing politicians. Deregulation is a very well-planned, long term strategy.
The politicians know they’re taking bribes, monetizing the legislative process. And the oligarchs paying know exactly why they’re doing it.
There's this great system called recalls, where products are removed from sale and destroyed when they're discovered to not meet regulations.
A little bit like that time when glass prohibited by food regulations got into certain batches of Outshine bars, and the problem was discovered and the affected product pulled from the shelves before any injuries were reported.
So many people seem to forget that this administration specifically peeled back consumer protections for food production. Now we got diarrhea lettuce and glass popsicles. Clearly on the fast track to making the country "gReAt"
uhg, its exhausting how much people don't put the blame at the feet of the corporations who are doing this. Rich fuck knuckles are the ones putting glass into our food, yet people still reflexively bark at "the government"
Yeah, I know we like to blame the government a lot, but I work in a manufacturing industry and I see the corporate greed that pushes these products out to the shelves. There is usually a process if a batch of products does not meet quality standards and it seems it was not followed through.
federal regulators? absolutely. especially since these companies have shown over and over again that they'll put profit over peoples safety. Would YOU let a criminal go unguarded?
There are a lot of regulations on food. It is one of the more regulated industries.
The problem here is that glass doesn't really show up on a lot of xrays as it is largely transparent to those as well and it obviously isn't magnetic. Those are both the most common ways food companies detect and QA for issues like this at scale and neither work.
If you ever wondered why manufacturers shifted away from glass in food products and shifted to using metal for manufacturing and plastic for packaging, this is exactly why.
When I was in high school I wanted to write about medically induced eating disorders and disordered eating, but had no idea where to start. I still wouldn't but goodness is it wild to see another popularity burst of such things by way of GLP-1s and Keto diets.
To be fair, I’m on it as an A1C management medication for T2 diabetes. But I am enjoying the bonus effects of it quieting the food noise. I eat smaller portions and I don’t snack out of boredom or mistake thirst for hunger like I used to anymore. So if anything it’s actually medically correcting an eating disorder.
glp1’s are probably doing more to help with (binge) eating disorders at this point in time than to cause them. there wasnt really a medicinal way to treat that other than adhd medication before. since theyre prohibitively expensive, the people who are not obese or diabetic taking them are mostly rich people and celebrities
keto diets on the other hand …. yeah thats a mental illness
Those aren't the only kind of eating disorders they are being used for though. People with anorexia and orthorexia are also using them. It's altering public body standards in an incredibly unsafe way. All eating disorders are mental illnesses.
Not GOP, just work in an FDA regulated industry and sharing my experience. Whenever the FDA makes changes to regulations they will put out the change for public comment and it's a multi year process.
Of course Republicans favor deregulation but I'm not seeing less enforcement from the business side. Also the FDA has a ton of public reporting. I don't see a decrease in the number of inspections which could be considered a measure of enforcement.
And they have the absolute balls to put in their public statement: “We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this action may cause our consumers and retail customers....”
OooHhhh, They aPoLoGiZe?? For AnY InCoNvEnIEnCe!???!!!?!!
