And that’s why the Americans (Trump) are deleting regulations. Because regulations will cost the Oligarchs money. They’re sending innocent people to El Salvador. They’re stopping food regulations, they are spreading lies about inoculations that save lives. What is the point? They’re decreasing the population. Why are they doing this? There’s going to be no one left. (I’ve had one too many martinis)
It was so much worse than just chalk. Additives included plaster of Paris, lead, cow brain, and fucking formaldehyde
Formaldehyde is natural, or bodies make some of it so it's fine /s
Anthrax and asbestos are also natural!
Whenever a corporation does something good (for example, make a charitable donation) rest assured it’s been calculated that the positive PR will make it financially worthwhile.
My favourite was hot dog and sausage vendors in big US cities, especially New York, in the early 1900s ..... they would take semi rancid meat, mix it with lye or some chemical to reduce the stench and bacteria, then mix it with red food colouring .... a good batch was known as a mix that didn't make that many people sick.
Sausage-inna-bun. CMOT Dibbler would be proud, no one else would.
This is why I've been trying to point out that the ground swell around raw milk seems to have less to do with any critiques of pasteurization (there are no good critiques) and more to do with the fact that if pasteurization isn't mandated as the only way to make milk safe to drink, corporations will seek cheaper options, like mixing raw milk with formaldehyde...
Sure unbridled capitalism is the way to go as there has never been starvation under capitalism.
I feel like there's at least one country who is going to learn this shit the hard way.
China has learned it multiple times. The plastic additives in baby formula causing infant deaths…

One thing people forget is that it was Big Food that wanted regulations.
After the book came out, it was almost impossible for American companies to sell their products overseas. Teddy knew that slapping a government label attesting to quality would mean that American companies would be able to make big profits.
The U.S. won’t need regulations once the last of its trade partners gives up on it. We’ll be free to eat all the domestic lead and asbestos our dear masters deem necessary to feed us.
So wait, are you telling me regulations actually help companies, too?
Well, it could in the long ago past, but we've outgrown the need for things like regulations, Unions, privacy...
No /s, because that's what MAGats are already saying.
Welcome to Uptown Sinclair's Jungle. You're going to die.
We used to add formaldehyde to milk too. Seems worse than chalk to me.
The capitalism we have NOW is actually killing people.
The death and exploitation of the majority is inherent in Capitalism. For the few benefits of such a heinous system of greed as Capitalism to outweigh the overwhelming harm of the system, a strict regulatory system is essential, with real penalties exacted for violating them.
