I heard a report on NPR that food inflation was stable because lettuce prices have plummeted.

:/

So, is this Trump technically fulfilling his campaign promise of lowering egg prices?

[–] Tikiporch@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Can I just get a list of safe foods?

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 1 points 1 day ago

Diet soda, and your lucky to have even that peasant.

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 day ago

Can't complain about egg prices if you can't buy eggs.

I'm sorry, what the fuck happened to garlic powder???

[–] ikidd@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It makes vampires nervous, so the Republicans won't have any of it.

Didn't US voters choose Trump allegedly because of the egg prices?

Well, I guess they still got all the racism.

[–] 87Six@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 day ago

First get your population sick with food made for cockroaches, then charge them thousands to heal themselves.

A perfect system, really.

[–] orbituary@lemmy.dbzer0.com 40 points 2 days ago (4 children)

And jalapeños as of yesterday. Taylor Farms again.

[–] nullspace@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago (2 children)

It's a conspiracy by Big Mayo to keep flavor out of food, I tell ya! They'll come for the sriracha next!

They believe they are killing the weak, leaving young fit workers.

Elect Rapepublicans, get a sicker, poorer, and globally hated America.

[–] DarkSpectrum@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Hate is a strong word, but in this case, not strong enough. Despise, loathe, lament.. Idk so many options

[–] FistingEnthusiast@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

To be fair, the civilised world has always sneered at 'Murica, for good reason

[–] HerbGrower@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 day ago

We used to just laugh at you, now we hate you to the point that "made in america" is a negative thing.

[–] stumu415@lemmy.zip 51 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Lots of American food is actually banned in the rest of the world, especially the EU.

Good thing the US has a great healthcare system.

I saw a thread recently with Americans discussing who washes their chicken in the sink before cooking it, which is a concept I'd literally never even heard of in Europe.

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 23 points 2 days ago (10 children)

That's not a thing most Americans do, just an fyi.

Wait what happened with garlic powder? This shit keeps happening so fast I can't keep up...

[–] velma@sh.itjust.works 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's a Canadian recall. Not sure why it's being attributed to RFK Jr.

[–] WhyIHateTheInternet@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

At this point, fuck it. Why not?

Is America great again yet?

[–] weps@lemmy.world 30 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Eggs and groceries were a symbol for the election of Trump

Now groceries are expensive and eggs are dangerous to eat

[–] taj@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago (3 children)

I will never forget volunteering with a magat just after the election and her being like 'just wait! Everything is going to get cheaper in a month or two!' A huge part of me would love to chat with her now. How you like $4-5 gas?

I heard about jalapenos, but not about garlic powder. Sure wish we had a government that wasn't full of total pieces of shit.

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Can't est jalapenos either

[–] BigMacHole@thelemmy.club 13 points 2 days ago (2 children)

We can’t eat eggs, lettuce, and garlic powder

Don’t forget salsa, guacamole, and jalapeños.

Honestly I'd be scared to eat anything in or from the US.

I suppose its technically a nationwide recall, but it seems like there are only a handful of States impacted at least.

[–] LostCarcosan@lemmy.today 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

73 of the 90 something cases reported in Texas. How surprising
