    Do you even understand what you’re asking? The lettuce was IMPORTED from Mexico via Taylor Farms. These berries may have as well.

    The distributors hide their supply chain and claim it to be “industry secrets” to keep us from knowing where we get our food.

    This shit is insane.

      Who cares where the food comes from? It’s a drop in quality control thanks to these businesses feeling emboldened by Trump’s gutting of regulatory agencies that’s the problem.

        It matters for the same reason knowing who sold it matters. If the farm in Mexico supplied multiple sources, then you can avoid it if you’re aware. The degradation in quality and regulation is all the fault of the US government, and that is in turn the fault of Taylor for not holding their farms to higher standards…

      I’m sure they know that, no country grows every crop sold at stores. It’s the usual “le american bad” that’s beat like a dead horse here lol

      Usually rightfully so but man is it just getting a tad boring

        America is bad but it’s all the complaining about things that humanity as a whole is bad for then pretending it’s America only that’s so damn annoying. They think they popped out of a golden non American vagina just for being on different soil. They can’t see the irony in the way they think.

          True, too much America bad, mixed some (not all) with incognito ml users who glaze NK for example.

              In the context of this thread, with fucking up agencies, causing more risk to its citizens under the guise of “cutting costs” while the national debt just went to 40 Trillion today. Yeah it’s bad for that. Gaza bad too if that gives you warm fuzzies.

              Were you expecting a different answer?

              I don’t think blanket “everything about X is bad because Y” is a healthy way to view the world.

                I just wondered if there was any thought process other than very boring very overused platitudes I’ve seen on every forum known to man
