A new report reveals salmonella is widespread in U.S. poultry production, with major brands like such as Costco regularly exceeding federal safety limits.
The USDA lacks authority to enforce salmonella standards or halt sales; inspectors can only note violations.
When the government reclassified E. coli into a more serious category, there were more recalls and fewer cases of illness.
America is such a funny place. From the outside it looks amazing and advanced and all techy and freedom and stuff but every time you learn something about it you realize it’s really a lipstick covered dead rotten pig.
I’m American and I moved to Germany a few years ago. The first time I went to a bathroom at my university with a soap grater, I laughed at it because it was so bizarrely old fashioned. Then I realized that the university I went to in the US had automatic soap dispensers that jammed up on a regular basis, and the soap graters were probably 50 years older than the dispensers and still worked perfectly.
That’s a good metaphor for my life in the US compared to Germany, I think. I don’t have a car or a microwave, but I don’t need them and actually live better without them. I don’t have a freezer, which sucks, but I do probably eat better because of it. I have two less fancy and worse paying jobs that activate my brain and body better and afford more in fewer hours than my one job in the US.
Why dont you just buy a freezer and a microwave? Most Germans have them.
No space 🤷
Microwaves seem about 50:50 in my area, but most people here have freezers.
I don’t think it looks amazing from the outside either.
