    Everybody should spend some time developing cooking skills because buying processed and mass produced food is gonna be more and more of a gamble as we re-enter The Jungle.

      I've been doing a lot of canning and dehydrating lately to make shelf stable food and it's pretty fun. However, it only really makes sense if you can grow food or otherwise have easy access to picking (like gleaning) and if you have shelf storage space. The different pieces of gear also add up in terms of cost, especially if you are buying new. Used stuff is reasonably common though. My canned tomatoes are better than what I get in the store for sure though.

      it is kind of astonishing that it's always the lettuce or another vegetable that does it, usually farmed in Yuma, Arizona where they just refuse to move the cows that get ecoli into the water source for the lettuce

      https://www.ewg.org/news-insights/news/2024/01/e-coli-factory-farms-threatens-americas-leafy-greens

      A single enormous cattle feeding operation potentially threatens the safety of thousands of acres of leafy greens grown in the U.S. during the colder months, an EWG analysis shows.

      Irrigation water or dust contaminated with fecal matter from this giant feedlot, located in Yuma County, Ariz., could contaminate many acres of lettuce fields within 3 miles of the cattle farm, which produces 115,000 cows each year. This one feedlot is likely to be the source of contamination because of its size and proximity to the lettuce fields, compared to

      the other two animal feeding operations in Yuma County identified by the Food and Drug Administration in its investigations.

      In a canal near this feedlot, the FDA also found the exact strain of the bacteria E. coli that sickened people from lettuce during a recent outbreak.

      Farms in Yuma County that grow leafy vegetables produce 90 percent of the nation’s winter lettuce, between November and March.

        So we know why this keeps happening, and capitalism is just too obsessed with filth to move the cows downwind.

      Wikipedia

      In October 2024, an E. coli outbreak was linked to McDonald's Quarter Pounder in 10 U.S. states (Colorado, Kansas, Utah, Wyoming, and portions of Idaho, Iowa, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, and Oklahoma). The CDC has not confirmed the origin, but it is suspected to be either the quarter-pound meat patties or slivered onions. As of October 22, there have been 49 cases, 10 hospitalizations, and 1 death.

    I like how we had this public discourse about McDonald's lowering prices and realizing they were bad guys and then they're making people spray shit all over each other.
