Just finished reading an article about how raw alfalfa sprouts easily spread e-coli, but the problem could be solved by irradiation. So why don’t we?

After all, the US is the land of GMO, pesticides, washed eggs, chlorinated chicken, and pasteurized dairy. How could irradiated produce be any worse?

    Because we’re stupid. Like on an institutional, industrialized level of just dumb motherfuckers. Intentionally so as a policy choice by our government.

    It could literally be the cure to all foodborne illness and half this country would be howling like rabid baboons about how it’s unnatural and it morphs the DNA of the irradiated item so that it it gives you super aids and makes you transgender.

    Don’t waste your time worrying about us. We’re breathtakingly fucking stupid and arrogantly proud of it. Just let us die. Little of value will be lost.

      What a nothing comment. With so many food safety laws this is just nonsense.

        removed please. We’ve just watched a failed game show host president destroy a century of US Economic Hegemony because the stupid son of a removed doesn’t know how tariffs work and half the country is cheering him on.

        You cannot win this one. Don’t waste your time.
