It may be shocking that American food can get any worse considering they're 50% corn syrup and 50% microplastics but somehow American corporations found a way, soon they'll probrally start adding sawdust to bread like they used to before the FDA

    You think that's bad, milk was so much worse. Companies fed cows leftover brewing grains which made their milk shitty, added cow brain to imitate cream, plaster of Paris to whiten it, and formaldehyde to preserve it. Thousands of kids died because of it and it's a big part of why the FDA was founded in the first place.

    OP forgot to mention that everything they were talking about was going on over 119 years ago as the FDA was founded in 1906

    I didn't forget, the context of who I replied to said "like they used to before the FDA" and I provided an example of what was happening before the FDA. Also yeah it was over a hundred years ago but what do you suppose has made stories like swill milk seem like a thing of the past? It's not capitalists being more enlightened or empathetic it's regulation. Those stories and more are going to pop back up again as the US guts the FDA
