American food safety checks have nearly stopped now that the FDA has been cut so bad|y. They can't even follow up on investigating reports anymore.

Why are we importing and allowing dangerous foods to be sold here?

You know there's some pretty old people here, right? The average age of Lemmy users might be more of a close mark to try and focus on the growth of processed foods and sugar-laden things. Although any standards have to be better than the direction we're heading back towards.

I agree with the general point everyone has here, isolationism will hurt the policy makers and the companies in step with them. It will hurt a lot of us too, but so be it. Burn it down. The alternative is not acceptable.

Yeah, but I also know how long American food safety has been woefully subpar...
