…spread this bizarre, implicit and never outright stated lie that less regulation will lead to healthier and better food
Wait. Are you telling me that the lack of regulation that allowed companies to put sawdust in food was a bad thing? Forcing them to sterilize food, report nutritional info, and use edible ingredients is good for consumers?
our FDA federal oversight of the food industry was already captured by industry. Have you seen that they feed piglets other pigs shit instead of just giving them antibiotic shots because it’s cheaper? We have no eggs because we are the stupid country that doesn’t bother to innoculate chickens.
we aren’t going from good to bad we are going from bad to worse.
The FDA has nothing to do with either of these topics.
Feeding a fecal slurry to inoculate piglets is practical and typically directed by a company veterinarian due to a viral disease. Judicious use of antibiotics is directed under a VFD by the FDA and would not be applicable in this case because in most cases viral diseases aren’t treated by antibiotics.
Georgia, one of the top egg producing states in the US along with several other states were hit hard with avian influenza. The density of the US poltry industry (proximity of large farms in a small area) combined with migratory water fowl and a rapidly mutating virus is why we have no eggs. There is currently no effective avian influenza vaccine.
I think you misunderstand. I’m not defending anything. I am clarifying that its not just shoving pig feces at pigs for no reason or for cruelty. They are feeding fecal material to prevent mass mortalities from disease.
Its not unlike fecal transplants in humans. Are you angry at that as well?
