When The Moneyed fund "deregulation", food adulteration becomes an issue.

1. Canned goods that are mostly water.
2. Baked goods using "garbage carbs" & preservatives.
3. Lab grown meat.
4. Meat injected with brine to make it weigh more.

Mislabelled frozen fish & seafood.

Wow, you can find 100% milk? My grocery store only has 1% and 2%.

Still haven't figure out what they are diluting it with.

@mattblaze We don't want any of that AI milk.

@mattblaze

@mattblaze could be part of the dairy industry's rather silly beef with plant milks. They have pushed the narrative of plant milks being "fake" pretty hard before. Even going as far as demanding regulation on what products can and cannot be called milk

@mattblaze here in Canada, lots of brands say "100% milk from Canadian farms". That's important to us.

@mattblaze New Fear Unlocked

@mattblaze But it *can't* have a "no AI" label!!!

@mattblaze 100%* milk** from real cows**

*) less than 1% stagnant pond water
**) milk and milk-like products
***) any FDA approved Bovidae, including, but not limited to; sheep, goat, gaur, takin, buffalo and bison

@mattblaze

There were a couple of scandals a few years back.

The chinese were adding melamine and the australians were adding a milk by product.

Both countries were forced to lift their game pronto.

@mattblaze

Before the FDA, milk in the US contained all sorts of stuff, some of it rather repulsive.

Debora Blum's book "The Poison Squad: One Chemist's Single-Minded Crusade for Food Safety at the Turn of the Twentieth Century" goes quite in depth about those times.

@mattblaze

@mattblaze dairy producers got litigious about non dairy products using the term milk, and lost

@mattblaze there was a somewhat short lived kids' cereal called cröönchy stars, with (licensed) Muppets Swedish Chef branding, and on the side above the ingredients list it said "contains no glass shards or pachyderms: the other cereals may not contain these either, but if they don't why don't they say so?" and that bit of insidious propaganda has stayed with me ever since.

@mattblaze I learned recently that the "real" purpose of "kosher milk" was to have someone (a rabbi) monitoring the cow->bottle->home process to insure that no one pees into the milk (to express hatred of Jews), which apparently was once common enough to be a problem.

@mattblaze as opposed to milk from AI generated cows

@mattblaze
Woohoo, no hamsters!

... yet 😂

I'm imagining a shady dairy with a bunch of goats in ill-fitting cow costumes.
