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?

Yeah, it’s good practice to avoid US food in general, especially meat, which is truly horrid. Produce can be hit-and-miss. Dry goods aren’t so bad, but I still prefer to buy from any other country.
Produce is e.coli Russian roulette.
Buy organic produce from a local supplier.
A luxury many can’t afford.
The e.coli comes from the poop. Natural manure spread on the fields as fertilizer. Organic doesn’t avoid that at all.
Why would produce being local have anything to do with e. coli infection? 🤔
Local farm rather than giant farm industry is typically more care since its their livelyhood.
Shipping. Storage conditions. Proximity to other imported products. A lot of reasons.
