Box of Frogs @boxoffrogs.bsky.social · 21/08/2026I'm baffled as to why it never occurs to the people who want to cut government regulation to never ask themselves how much rat feces they are willing to eat in their next meal. 761451244
row-z.bsky.social @row-z.bsky.social · 21/08/2026Regulations are necessary because corporations and people don’t always act ethically. 020
Rob Boyte @roboyte.bsky.social · 21/08/2026After writhing thru Repugnant Bullshit for years, the MAGAts won't even notice a few Rat Turds. 020
Scott Brewster @scottbrewster.bsky.social · 21/08/2026My boss used to say "F*ck the USDA. They allow rat turds in your food". I could never get across to him that without regulations and inspection, companies would just sell you a box of rat turds labeled Cocoa Puffs because companies don't care about you. Dumbass. 1240
Bearcats Grad @gobearcats.bsky.social · 21/08/2026Those same people are okay to eat rat feces and glass in their food as long as black and brown people are deported or jailed for breathing. 040
Doing it my way @allidoisgame.bsky.social · 21/08/2026Wash your soda can tops before opening and drinking thats all im saying 030
Ministry Of Truth @truthministry.bsky.social · 21/08/2026What if - now hear me out - what if no one wants to cut those regulations but people do want to review the regulatory scheme for arbitrariness and/or overreach? Oh that's right It's all or nothing right? Bec rationality & nuance no longer exist 030

damo71.bsky.social @damo71.bsky.social · 21/08/2026Or how much more rat! The F.D.A. already allows a certain percentage of rat ground up in U.S. ground beef because the supply chain owners don't want to pay for a clean operation while preparing our food. That's been going on since the Reagan presidency! Much of my life! 010
Arthur A Bundy @arthurbundy.bsky.social · 21/08/2026The concept of Creationism v Evolution comes to mind. More to the point is the issue of God v Science. 011
Horus @guynermie62.bsky.social · 21/08/2026This post deserves being cast in bronze and mounted on the front of every public building 010
DrTehen @drtehen.bsky.social · 21/08/2026The scariest part is how much was even previously allowed, welcome to corporate food... foreign matter in our food, pink slime anyone. 020
boomer1953.bsky.social @boomer1953.bsky.social · 21/08/2026The $ that are meant to be spent for government officials to inspect food is funding a war & a ballroom that we don't want. 010
Fred C. Trump (dead/deceased) @doniamyrfather.bsky.social · 21/08/2026Money cut school budgets so no one reads "The Jungle" anymore. Money doesn't want anyone to know what money used to do to us before we stuffed a bridle in its mouth and put the spurs to its flanks. 050
defeline.bsky.social @defeline.bsky.social · 21/08/2026Yep. Same. Because when we had regulation, it was more than I would want. Imagine now!!😬🤢 010
Airgap Your Mind @austinmusicscene.bsky.social · 21/08/2026regulation 1: we limit rat feces in the food. Conclusion: good Regulation 2: we force you to use a dealership to buy a new car. Conclusion: bad Regulations in and of themselves are neither good or bad. 020
Right but not right @rightbutnotright.bsky.social · 21/08/2026Govt regulations limit the amount of rat feces allowed in food and set consequences for exceeding the limit. 230
Old School Liberal 🇺🇸 🇸🇪 Its time to obliterate the Epstein Class. @vanlighet.bsky.social · 21/08/2026Most people don’t realize that regulations already ALLOWED a certain amount of rodent particulates. 010
QueeDave @queedave.bsky.social · 21/08/2026And pro death penalty people need to say how many innocents per guilty person they are willing to execute. No, they don't like to answer that type of question. 020
Bryan Sorohan @bsorohan.bsky.social · 21/08/2026The problem is that Republicans have gotten spoiled by food safety as something they don't have to think about. It was a huge problem in the past (see Upton Sinclair), but years of effective regulation camouflaged the fact that corporations will absolutely sell tainted food unless forced not to. 060
No Wingnuts Allowed @idyll-dream2.bsky.social · 21/08/2026The simple fact is that corporations don't give a flying fig newton about how clean and healthy their products are. That's why we have the FDA, the EPA, etc. to regulate corporations. On their own, corporations would cut every corner. 180
NodeZ3r0™ @wopr.systems · 21/08/2026Regulation isn't about eating rat feces; it's about ensuring safety and protecting rights. Big tech watches us way too much already. wopr.systems?utm_source=bluesky&utm… 020

Robert Beveridge @xterminalnoise.bsky.social · 22/08/2026Those are the same people, in the main, who believe they will immediately be able to switch to homesteading. (I don't know for sure, but I suspect the vast majority of them live in the suburbs and have no idea how much room you need for a year's worth of corn.) 020
Leah @miss-spider.bsky.social · 21/08/2026If someone doesn't like a regulation, all they have to do is research why it's in place. The history of why it was needed will probably terrify them. 0100
Excalibur Discount Legal Services @kevychristian.bsky.social · 21/08/2026Yeah, they act like all these regulations just appeared out of thin air one day because whiny nanny state progressives were worried about non existent problems. 1180
AmyW @joyfortheppl.bsky.social · 21/08/2026They aren’t eating food from Big Ag. They are getting organic food and produce from expensive private grocery stores that work with small farms or are getting stuff from Farmer’s markets. 010

THE BOO! GIRL @the-book-girl.bsky.social · 22/08/2026I read an article about screwworms in beef and let me tell ya, I won't be able to eat meat for a long while. 010
THE BOO! GIRL @the-book-girl.bsky.social · 22/08/2026Oh but they don't have to. Their millions and billions insulate them nicely from anything ordinary citizens have to contend with. I mean, 99% of Congress are millionaires many times over. Even a small amount of wealth has lovely powers of protection from nearly all ills on this earth. 010
makanaboy.bsky.social @makanaboy.bsky.social · 21/08/2026OMG the best response question ever. How much rat turds, shitwater and other parasites folks are willing to endure. 030
twotenths.bsky.social @twotenths.bsky.social · 21/08/2026NO ONE ever asks candidates campaigning on the 'cut regulations' issue: "which regulations in particular?" 010
Hugh in Cherokee @hughmanist.bsky.social · 21/08/2026I want to drive them all to the airport in a ford pinto, put them on a DC-10 flight to Pennsylvania , so they can go 23 mile island and watch TV reports of the Exxon Valdese. And\nWe can go have salads for lunch command maybe some tacos period 021
RevBug is mathing: (8+6)+(4+7)=25th Amendment @revbug.bsky.social · 21/08/2026We talk about ‘herd immunity’ but also believe ‘herd complacency’ is also a real thing. When a given population has grown so complacent that the oligarchy can do whatever they wish with no pushback. We will see how true this is in November 031
Jon @hrdbmw.bsky.social · 22/08/2026Some regulation is awesome. Some isn't. I want to cut regulations that allow a state to put someone in prison for being homeless. I want to cut regulations that allow corps to poison rivers. 100
rds-level-10.bsky.social @rds-level-10.bsky.social · 21/08/2026There’s a saying that regulations are written in blood. Also feces, apparently. 0160
JR @shroomigator.bsky.social · 21/08/2026Their answer is always "I can afford to buy quality food" 010
Julie @merwingallery.bsky.social · 21/08/2026Yes, the U S has a number limit on how many rat hairs can be in a jar of peanut butter...Canada has a limit too...None. 010
Lejanaysola 🍉 @lejanaysola.bsky.social · 21/08/2026I'm baffled as to why it never occurs to the press whose job it is to ask questions of elected officials and top businessmen to ask that exact question. 060
Shaggy @manecharsyndrome.bsky.social · 21/08/2026They assume that because they can afford premium brands, it's an outcome they'll never be exposed to. 021
sethwbullock.bsky.social @sethwbullock.bsky.social · 21/08/2026Well according to existing regulations, there have been "acceptable levels" for decades. At least for some products like peanut butter. Why as a trained chef, I try to do as much scratch cooking as possible, and grow as much of my own produce as possible. 020
ghlori.bsky.social @ghlori.bsky.social · 21/08/2026Ask them how many fecal parts matter in their ice cream - the #1 culprit of waste in food. Or how about roach body parts in warehouse stored grains? I worked over 30 yrs in the pest control industry. The cuts made to food industry quality is really dangerous. It could very well kill you🤨🤨🤨 020
David Bayer @drbayer.bsky.social · 21/08/2026Every regulation exists because something happened to make it important enough to add. If only they would consider why it exists before claiming we don’t need it anymore. 050
Scribbie ♾️🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈🇺🇦💕🦮🐦⬛🌎🥘 @scribunda.bsky.social · 21/08/2026In his last term, Trump rescinded the regulation that prohibited poultry producers from selling chicken with cancer. I’ve come across some very scary chicken thighs since then that I’ve had to throw away. 030
Don Solomon @dsolomonesq.bsky.social · 21/08/2026Because “the market will take care of that. Food companies don’t want to kill their customers.” Of course, a little digestive upset is a small price to pay for a higher profit margin. 050
Kenkire (any) @kenkire.bsky.social · 21/08/2026They only want to cut government spending to line their own pockets with money, so they can afford cleaner food. They're making us eat rat feces while they eat caviar. 030
Ralph Houston @franktexas.bsky.social · 21/08/2026Also, they all require a strong, stable, protected currency, and police to 'maintain law and order' (i.e. protect their property)... 061
friendishly @friendishly.bsky.social · 21/08/2026The people that are willing to cut regulation DON'T eat the same foods WE do OR dine at the same establishments. Bottom line: They don't care. 000
ChelleyLuna @chelleluna.bsky.social · 21/08/2026Maybe the wealthy probably fly their food in from Europe and places that care about their citizens? 020

Alexander Rooksmoor @arcrooksmoor.bsky.social · 21/08/2026The thing is the US actually had a stated acceptable level for this in food storage anyway, which UK citizens discovered to their alarm when Johnson was looking to strike a food trade deal with the USA. The country was starting from a low base anyway. 020
yitzi2.bsky.social @yitzi2.bsky.social · 21/08/2026A lot of them don't trust the government to prevent it even with regulation. 010

Jack Phantom @jackphantom.bsky.social · 21/08/2026The thing is the sell is: "Why do you need 5,000 inspections and $1500 in city permits to build a small garden wall?" What it actually is is: "Growninlabmeatcorp doesn't have to take out all the cancer" 060
