To be fair as long as you're cooking and handling your meat and eggs properly salmonella really isn't a big issue. So it's stupid but it's nowhere near as bad as his other plans.
The best way to remove tRump and company from our government is peacefully perform a general strike beginning 5/1 for as many weeks as possible. Stop everything indefinitely. He is moving way too fast for protests alone to work. We only stop the strike when he, vAnts and jOhnson have resigned!
Everyone should read Upton Sinclair's novel "The Jungle."
More people died in WWI from contaminated food than bullets. All thanks to govt & business corruption.
I’ve got starters for our own green onions, lettuce and spinach off and running. Used winter sowing milk jug method for the first time. Should be able to plant in pots Mother’s Day weekend. Cucumber starts didn’t work, so I will buy some tomato and cucumber plants for our container gardening.
Plenty of e. coli on lettuce, spinach, even melons. E. coli can contaminate produce via irrigation water, animal feces (both domestic and wild animals), or improper composting of manure.
Ecoli is much more prevalent in meats, unpasteurized milk, & cutting board used contaminated meats. Ecoli in vegetables isn't common and can get rid of by simply washing them in running water. I probably consume more veggies in a week than most Americans do in a year. Never had ecoli.
We grow/sell produce, and I was a vegetarian for over 10 years. I never had it either, but I can't tell you how many times I've seen recalls on salad kits for listeria. It's not too much to expect our food supply to be safe.
The recalls are done by the companies to protect them from lawsuits. In actuality, only about 30 Americans die annually from ecoli, mainly caused by consuming animal products. Demonizing veggies due to ecoli is the most unfortunate ignorant notion ever.
Americans need to be educated about ecoli. Most ecoli bacteria aren't harmful/deadly. Only about 30 Americans annually die from it. Besides, deadly cases are usually from contaminated animal products. Again ecoli in veggies can easily be rid of by washing it. Americans DON'T wash their veggies.
Ecoli isn't necessarily harmful. It only kills about 30 Americans annually, mostly caused by animal products. Avoiding veggies due ecoli is most unfortunate/unfounded myth amongst Americans. Not to mention, Americans don't wash their veggies. Simply washing it in running water would rid of ecoli.
I used to work at 2 high-end restaurants. Restaurants usually don't wash their veggies, lemons, etc. It's why I seldom dine out or ask lemon for water when I do. Don't ever drop those lemons in your water! You might as well sprinkle pesticides/chemicals/bacteria into your water and salad. 😨

50% of my veg I grow and store, but almost always wash veg unless I'm out in the garden nibbling, which I am very guilty of, and for some reason they always taste best then. Trying to enlarge my garden this year and was hoping to donate some to people in need.
No worries. Vinegar water doesn't flavor the veggies/fruits. Sometimes, I forgot and left things in it for an hour but I never tasted vinegar in them. I usually wash them thoroughly in running water and then soak in vinegar water and eat directly without rinsing them.
Yes, washing it in running water and/or soaking in vinegar water will do it. I don't wash "already washed" lettuce but make sure that they are fresh and from reliable grocery stores such as Costco, Winco, etc.
In the latest CNN poll, FOTUS scored narrowly positive ratings on only 1 issue: his handling of gender identity & trans people. Overall, 51% approve, including 90% of Republicans, 48% of independents & 16% of Democrats. Why do the 51% care so much about something that has nothing to do with them?
Democrats are so dumb. They still don't realize that being browbeaten in real life daily is much more tangible and motivating politically than some "theoretical" coming onslaught of totalitarianism. That's how we got here. How we get out is, in part, learning these lessons.
Sure the chicken will kill you but at least you won’t have to read about Black airmen!
---
That will come as a big relief to certain 'people' or rather entities.
Sure, you will be haunted by salmonella for the rest of your life but at least you will not have to endure the violence perpetrated by the deported two year old cancer patients.
I worked in professional kitchens for 18 years… Not once did I ever have a case of food poisoning reported against me.
Of course things were a lot safer back then you could trust that the federally inspected product you were preparing was free of pathogens and safe to eat
He probably won’t cause more deaths than any administration ever. He’ll just cause more U.S. civilian deaths. He may actually already hold that record, with the number of COVID deaths that occurred during and after his 1st term, because of the negative attitudes he fostered towards prevention.
That’s a pretty high bar to clear we have presidents who are responsible for murdering millions. I’m not saying he won’t try, but I am saying his efforts are not novel.
Don't get me started on faux meat... Right, replace something that has problems with something else that is even more full of chemicals. Gah. Just eat beans... or tofu.
We’re going headlong back to the Gilded Age, when European nations banned importation of American foodstuffs because they were adulterated and poisonous.
We need a boycott of all chicken products when the bill becomes the law, or as soon as Kennedy’s edict goes into effect. Sorry for the chicken farmers, but they will be the only ones that can bring back the inspectors.
Looks like my protein is going to have to come from imported canned meats. I don't have enough time or money to die right now of food poisoning or some other food borne illness.
Thank god we don't have to learn about actual brave gentleman like the Tuskegee Airmen, but can get more healthy by... uh... dying from preventable diseases?
I no longer buy meats in any grocery store. Ever. People should look in to local butchers or farms that sell meats. I do have to order in bulk but I have a ‘meat freezer’ now so it’s all good!
Every state has its own regulations & inspectors for Dairy Farms. The FDA was secondary to the state inspectors. So the milk supply will be just fine. You can look up your state’s regulations online.
Ive had salmonella poisoning. I thought I was dying. Violently ill for days and days, hospitalized twice. We need food tested more/better, not less. Wow.
I am there with you, that lasted for a very long time I would get reoccurrences for months. And I think it messed my guts up for years afterwards. So what now, no lettuce and no chicken and so it goes, not heard anything from the news geez.
Yes, my stomach was not the same for a long time after that. It was really scary, I was so weak I couldn’t even get up into my bed. We were part of a class action lawsuit against a big restaurant chain here in Vegas, thousands had fallen ill from this.
When I lived in Napa, that's pretty much all my wife and I did. Eggs from chickens down the road, and fresh produce from a stand, a little further. Now I'm down in Southern California (desert), and those options aren't as readily available. But it's a great suggestion, and prompts me to look.
Oh great!
Just when I found a great chicken chili recipe wi navy beans & banana peppers!
What's the secret ingredient in your chicken recipe? Salmonella?
So, I guess it's vegetarian pozole for Thanksgiving this year.
BTW
My fave Tuskegee Airmen movie "Redtails".
God bless 'em!
I see family farms moving up their marketing, more home grown vegetables, and generally less meat being consumed as this insipid Trump Administration removes safety regulations. #GreenThumb
This is the same shite they want to force the uk to accept, while we have wayg higher standards than the us, funny, how everyone is expected to come DOWN to their level
Oppression begins as soon as our resistance ends! They want us to get tired and accept what is happening to our freedom & end democracy. We can not stop making our opposition heard!! Contact your Republican representatives & demand they support judges & the LAW or demand their resignations
US food safety standards are already considered too dangerous by many other countries to allow chicken meat imports.
They really don't need lowering, especially if you want those trade deals.
Sure your chicken sandwich may land you in the hospital but at least you won’t have to worry that the US is saving too many lives over seas through PEPFAR.
In Europe they vaccinate chickens for salmonella and infections took a nose dive. In AmeriKKKa they think vaccines will give chickens autism and refuse to spend a penny per bird.
The CDC estimates that about one in six Americans get sick from foodborne illness each year, leading to about 128,000 hospitalizations and 3,000 deaths.
Not to worry! When they stop tracking, it will go away.
Someone said that about COVID.
Joined many in Canada and stopped buying US made/grown products, including chicken and beef. Plenty of alternatives out there which are safe to consume as standards in most other countries supercede those in the US which at this point, are nil.
Just got back from Montreal all of the restaurants we went to had taken American wines off the menu. American booze in two of the Bars too. There were alternatives. The bartender at one place summed it up. We were partners as countries. Trump has killed that.
The chicken must be cooked immediately after you buy it, and then cooked again before you eat it, but at least an American 6th grader packaged it and not an illegal immigrant.
Wait till the lawsuits start flying after people get deathly ill or die. If lawsuits are outlawed, no one will buy that shit any longer (unless they're crazy like magats). Watch businesses go out of business.
How many people died from the McDonalds oinion poisoning? And all the time it took to find the source. Food borne illness and deaths will be harder to prove now that the HHS been gutted.
Harder, but not impossible IMO. Let's say a large group eats at McDonalds (or another restaurant) and many become ill. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to detect what they all had in common for a food source.
I would think if a group all got ill at the same time from a McDonalds' (or other restaurant's) meal), they'd hire a lawyer and the lawyer would put people on it to determine what the fuck went wrong.
I doubt the cause is ever easy to find, but it's not impossible even w/this shit administration.
😏🗯️So, George~Will the five White House’s Chefs, Pastry Chef, & the Chef’s Staff KNOW which chickens were infected with salmonella? Somebody MUST eat whatever the Chef & Staff preparing three meals plus, snacks: Trickle-down KARMA, right⁉️ Surely, the FDA has full control what is purchased for WH‼️
You can die from boredom in Nebraska or from people in parts of WY putting boards of wood with nails on it in the road so you get flat tires and they can hold you hostage.
2nd one nearly happened to me going from Rapid City, SD to Casper, WY to see an eclipse... People put boards of wood in the road with nails up on it. Fortunately I saw it at 2am and turned around.... I heard people walking in the grass outside the car too... no cell area also.
We are exhausted, and the suffering grows every day... Don't look at our religion or country — we are humans just like you. 💔🤲

Something tells me salmonella is the cover because bird flu is rampant in chicken populations right now.
We're going to have to go back to 1950s meat handling standards including increased internal cooked temps a nice dry 160+ for pork and 170+ for chicken and red meats.
Lol! Had a flashback to my childhood. My mom was obsessed with Salmonella precautions. She lectured me on the risks of eating egg or chicken salad sandwiches from restaurants and cafeterias. And vending machines. Ew.
Ugh. I think I was a teen when we first learned that basically all American chicken had salmonella. I have only just been able to start eating hard boiled eggs again.
Let's be clear here, we are literally talking about people dying from unnecessary food poisoning which Drucker conflates with how _he_ feels about people's signatures. Does that make him a snowflake, or just a sociopath?
One more reason to never come to the USA ever again…if the guns or ICE don’t get you, the chicken will. “Thanks but no thanks.”, says every Canadian I know. 🇨🇦
This shit is the reason why nobody wants to import US meat.
US meat from one of the few EU certified farms is a luxury product here in Europe and I like it. But it‘s produced according to EU standards, not US standards.
You will have two wonderful choices: To die from salmonella or from chicken flu. Both real fun. But don't worry: It won't be tested or observed. And because it will even be denied officially, you needn't worry that anyone will find out the cause of your death. So you can die happily and carefree 😊
Uncle Joe, a retired and proud Marine, might not get the medical services from the V.A. he once did and his social security check means might have to move in with estranged family to keep from going homeless (if they'll take him) but at least no trans athletes.
Now we all have to treat food like it will kill us instead of it might if not handled properly. Go buy them clear plastic food gloves and Clorox kitchen whipes.
Interesting that the WHOLE OF THE GOP doesn't stop to think that themselves and their families, friends, grandkids, everyone they care about will be living under these policies, getting sick or 💀 with the rest of us!
sometimes you can just sleuth it out on social media. sometimes that doesn't work for attorneys, some of us, especially in government and adversarial work, keep a low profile online. I couldn't find this person even on LinkedIn. Thankfully, a mutual colleague was able to clue me in.
Either guess is 50/50 misgendering a professional colleague. They probably aren't trans. Just among the large share of names not clearly gendered, or simply unfamiliar.
Like everything else trans people ask for, this would benefit everyone in society. But it offends some religious nutcase.

Vegetarian, here. Still afraid of chemicals and animal farm run off. The whole farming industry is pretty nasty/unsanitary when you really look into it.
I truly believe he's try into kill off some of the population. Why else would he do this? People will get sick and die. Salmonella is deadly. I saw a 2 year old girl need a kidney transplant because both of her kidneys failed. It was in the water and her mother didn't know. So INCOMPETENT!
Lo, they careth not for the sickness of the flesh, so long as their eyes be spared from pronouns, and their ears from history’s truth. Woe unto a people who feareth the sight of justice more than the taste of rot.
It never has been. There have been fluctuations in who is included in the protected section of its populace, but the U.S. has never truly been a nation for all.
There is a cohort that wishes to claw back any progress we have made. JFC, these goons want to take us back to slavery.
It's like 2 steps forward and one back. We have to fighting with all our strength to defeat them.
And, yeah, the chicken is going to kill you, and the water, too, and there won’t be vaccines anymore, but at least we don’t have to do research about women’s icky bodies anymore.
The GOP & p2025 want us Pregnant right? However they cut all human health programs so we'll ALL be eating dangerous food, tainted water, w/no vaccines... Many will 💀.
I thought they wanted MORE people, MORE babies? Adding in pregnancy sounds more like a recipe for a 2 for 1 for the grim reaper.
Everything they do is a contradiction I've been thinking the same thing. They want something like a master race however, so it's the survivors of the tainted food and bad water etc etc. that survive! I think there are a little obsessed with the whole breeding thing, but that's just me
Comments
Your chicken should be cooked to 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Use a meat thermometer to check.
More people died in WWI from contaminated food than bullets. All thanks to govt & business corruption.
I do wash my veggies and fruit. Too many people handle the food and too many bugs to not wash it.
I am hoping this is the case. (Probably that “already washed” lettuce needs to be washed, too.)
😅😅😅😅
He'll probably start selling his own brand of vitamin supplements and snake oil cures for deadly infections and profit from it.

Like it would seem silly for the US to import EU meat I can't imagine would be fresh either way
It may not be in you to think ill of people and bad things happening to them as a positive but,
here is what I believe to be Mar-a-Lago’s menu.
I dunno about you,
but I think,
if the security on classified files in Trump’s gaff is non existent,
then so too perhaps is food safety
Sick without healthcare.
Price of medicine through the roof, if you can get it at all.
Social Security no longer paid out to help w/the bills.
