regulators have the power to set the tone that encourages industry to do the right thing

if the public makes their voice heard, legislators will act

These people must live under a rock

    I mean that’s why you should wash your veggies and cook your food. Food grows/lives in a bacteria rich environment, fertilized soil. There’s also a reason that human stomach acid is closer in pH to scavengers then other animals, to kill all the nasty shit (literally this time lol).

    The problem is when the bacteria gets in processed stuff that can’t be rinsed/washed, and/or comes pre cooked. Like cereal. And I’m guessing US food regulations allow a lot of nasty stuff in that.

      Not everything can be washed though. Pre-processed foods for example. I try to get mine as ‘natural’ as possible I.e. still whole, but it’s not always feasible because someone else might provide pre-cut fruit/veggies

      Yeah I don’t know shit about fuck but I’m not immediately concerned by the idea. Most bacteria we come in contact with is somewhere between completely benign and outright beneficial. Our bodies are really good at dealing with random bacteria.
