      It’s 2026 and we have to worry about “Big Lettuce.”
      This is America.

    2. “the FDA is corrupt!” is something your crazy uncle that lives in the woods used to say at the Thanksgiving dinner table because you bought a frozen bird instead of shooting one off the side of the highway and now it’s like… a very legitimate accusation lmao

    3. So…. when do we actually rise up against these billionaires and companies? I’m kinda over them being okay killing us and us paying for the pleasure.

      MAGA voters are so incoherent that they spent the entire election cycle crying over red dye only to turn around and cheer on deregulation efforts to have led them to this outbreak. Their stupidity would be hilarious if it only messed with their lives, but unfortunately its fucked up for everyone. Buckle up diarrhea is mild compared to what some of these other foodborne illness can do.

    5. okay but does anyone have other bagged salad recs when this shitstorm ends? asking for a friend that is obsessed with a few of taylor farms salads and wants to switch off them (if possible)….

    6. Does anyone have a link to which restaurants and or companies buy from them? Taylor Farms can fk off. So far it’s Taco Bell. I went to Chili’s yesterday and overheard the server say they didn’t have any lettuce bc the parasite.

      I just want to be able to eat fresh produce. I guess that is asking too much.

    9. I hope all politicians who took the bribe will suffer from diarrhea the next month. It’s not okay to not take food safety seriously and make the rules lighter just because the industry doesn’t like it, but people needs protection from these evil corporations

      I remember reading The Jungle and ACTIVELY APPRECIATING all the progress we’d made since then.

      And they might be spending more now to get the regime to point the finger at a farm that they might be spraying with the parasite.

    12. The whole government is corrupt and can be bought off. I don’t trust anything they say in any department congress or Trump obviously.

      Any corporation or country can buy off our government especially Trump. It the Supreme Court Congress all have been paid.

      Did their investment pay off? Was there any specific deregulation that applied to the lettuce industry?

      I know the Trump administration has been unkind to government regulators like the FDA… I’m just wondering if there is a specific chain of cause and effect here?

      Never been happier to have decided to put my money where my mouth is (I guess literally) and buy local produce from the Farmer’s Market.

      I had no idea these mfers were behind so much produce at so many places. Fuck them.

      I’ll be avoiding lettuce for the foreseeable future. It’s barely a green anyway. This is truly insane.
