I remember when salmonella was considered a sauce.

The similarities of the current situation in America to the fall of the Roman empire really do jump out at you once you notice them.

You just know there is a guy in New Jersey named Sal Monella.

At this point, if you're an American just don't eat.

Is that image AI generated?

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

Probably not. The article credits Shutterstock submitter Vladislav Noseek, whose online presence with photographs of this style (soft lighting, bright lighting, shallow depth of field, a focus on breakfast foods) long predates generative AI, much less of this quality. It's stock photographers like this guy whose inoffensive visual style and identity have been most directly incorporated into the AI defaults.

Farmers need better ways to fix nitrogen than smearing poop on everything. 😒

[–] djsoren19@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 day ago

that's not even remotely the issue.

what's actually causing this is the FDA getting completely fucking gutted. when you don't have nearly as many federal regulators doing inspections of food processing plants across the country, the capitalists get up to their old tricks and try to get away with as much as they possibly can.

That poop should have been processed to be safe.

Every other country does this.

this practice is near as old as agriculture itself

Does that make it the best, or only option?
