        A perfect opportunity to venture into the wonderful world of mycology. Learn how to find and identify mushrooms in nature and how to grow your own mushrooms at home. Why limit yourself to supermarket mushrooms?

          Recommend growing what you know is safe. The amount of “could kill you” mushrooms in the US is fairly low IIRC, but the amount of “this looks almost identical to an edible species but will make your day/week Not Fun” species is high enough in most places that I wouldn’t chance my luck on foraging.

            There are some safe ones that are easy for even beginners to identify reliably, such as morels, but of course people should be careful with harvesting wild mushrooms and should never consume amy without being certain as to what each mushroom is. Even experienced mushroom foragers make mistakes sometimes, especially when similar looking mushrooms grow close together.

    These are “people” that have never read The Jungle.

    (Assuming they’ve ever read any book at all…)

    Guess we’ll be expanding our diet to maggots, bug parts, and salmonella/e-coli whether we want them or not.

    🙄 🤡 🖕

    That’s easily going to cost Americans Billions in addition healthcare that we already can’t afford

      Food testing isn’t really needed when the food runs out. This administration is just thinking ahead.

    I’m going to just stick to frozen veggies and cooking them bitches in the oven or skillet. Also, I’ve been hoarding canned food from Aldi made in Germany.

    Companies still have to feed people and not get them sick. Or no return customers.

    This is a stupid ass decision but trust the profit lines here. Companies will not want to poison their customers, it’s just bad for business.

      It’ll be like the good old days before the FDA when the warning sign that food was contaminated was people dying and companies regularly put additives like sawdust in food because it made their profits better.

      We tried self-regulation of all these industries. That’s why we created government regulation.
