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?
Can’t complain about egg prices if you can’t buy eggs.
First get your population sick with food made for cockroaches, then charge them thousands to heal themselves.
A perfect system, really.
Didn’t US voters choose Trump allegedly because of the egg prices?
Well, I guess they still got all the racism.
They had the benefit of the doubt in 2016.
In 2024 his voters were just racists and nothing more. “NPC” was Republican projection too.
I’m sorry, what the fuck happened to garlic powder???
Oh damn, the us fucked up even that?
It makes vampires nervous, so the Republicans won’t have any of it.
it wont repel mitch mcconnel, becauses hes a different kind of undead, a lich.
They promised cheaper eggs but did they promise healthy eggs?
Don’t forget the jalapeños.
I was going to say, she must have missed that
They believe they are killing the weak, leaving young fit workers.
Is America great again yet?
Elect Rapepublicans, get a sicker, poorer, and globally hated America.
Hate is a strong word, but in this case, not strong enough. Despise, loathe, lament… Idk so many options
To be fair, the civilised world has always sneered at 'Murica, for good reason
We used to just laugh at you, now we hate you to the point that “made in america” is a negative thing.
And jalapeños as of yesterday. Taylor Farms again.
It’s a conspiracy by Big Mayo to keep flavor out of food, I tell ya! They’ll come for the sriracha next!
Siracha already dead since it’s not the same anymore
He America…
Y’all winning yet?
What a strange breakfast you must have been playing.
Can’t est jalapenos either
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.
That’s not a thing most Americans do, just an fyi.
It was a thing until recently when it was found washing is more likely to spread disease from splashing than just sticking it in the oven to kill everything.
Can you define “recently”? I’ve been cooking for ~20 years now, and I also took a food-and-nutrition class in highschool which had a pretty significant unit on food safety and cross contamination. I’m confident saying that washing chicken was not the norm at least as far back as 2006.
Sorry, I’m old now so “recent” is messed up in my mind. Pretty sure I learned the change from Alton Brown Good Eats 1999.
It’s not, but only because doing so causes even more problems, even though there’s reason to do it
Maybe I’m out of the loop here, but can people safely eat raw chicken in Europe?
You have to cook chicken in the US. I kinda figured that was a global thing.
Yeah you have to cook chicken everywhere, people wash the raw chicken in the US because of the chemicals the meat has been soaked in
No, we really don’t.
Also most of the chickens have just been simply brined. The only “chemical” you find in there is sodium chloride.
The washing is to get any residual poop off the chicken. If the chicken was rinsed in chlorinated water, running water over it for a few seconds won’t do anything.
Several years ago protocol was changed to not wash chicken because it was found the water splashing was more dangerous than sticking the chicken in the oven to kill any pathogens.
> people wash the raw chicken in the US
No they do not
Never had to wash a chicken breast in my life, but, the FDA allows for a chemical rinse, but does not require it. I buy smaller, higher quality chicken breasts because they taste better compared to the bloated, plumped, and cheaper packs, so the chicken I buy may not get this chemical process.
That being said, there is no shortage of sanitization steps in packaged products that will leave residue on food. I’m more concerned that the FDA allows the chemical bath to make up for the shortcomings in animal welfare at production facilities that leads to contaminated chicken in the first place. That bothers me more than a small amount of chlorine on the meat.
Chicken production is horrible everywhere, but in USA it is next level disgusting.
Besides the chlorine treatment, which they have to do because the production is unsanitary, they also ship the frozen chicken to China, where it’s chopped up, only to be send back to USA, still frozen. Trump was angry with UK not wanting to import it.
It makes no sense that sending a frozen chemical shit chicken all over the world, should somehow be better or cheaper than simply raising a chicken in Europe and just chopping the head off.
anything cage free, range free are horrible. you are looking for pasture raised, or expensive garden raised.
We have all kinds of different labels to differentiate eggs. Consumers still buy a lot of the cheapest. In my opinion it would make sense to outlaw the production of those instead of leaving the choice of animal welfare to the wallet of the consumer.
US chicken is not chlorinated any more. This myth just won’t die in Facebook.
I’ve been unlucky enough to stumble upon a YouTube video of a guy doing a live stream where he is going to cook fried chicken and someone commented he should wash the chicken.
He did. With dish soap.
That’s just reaction baiting at that point
The guy was genuinely miffed by having people laughing at him because he was about to wash the chicken with dish soap.
So much so, he did it nonetheless, while saying out loud “you wanted me to wash the chicken, I be washing the chicken”.
It was genuine.
He should have used a bath bomb and candles.
Streaming steaming with reactions. It was not genuine.
I would do it with whole chickens, to get off all the excess saline solution they package it with, but not to try and sterilize it. That’s what cooking is for
Americans have a lot of mythology around chickens fed by Facebook.
That’s not really a necessary thing as far as I can find. It’s more of something that people do because their parents and grandparents did it too
People do all kinds of stupid stuff that they don’t need to do or shouldn’t do. But yes, this is one of those stupid things that some people might do in America. I’ve never known anyone that does this.
That article has inaccurate information JSYK, brominated vegetable oil was banned in the US before the article was published.
I’m sorry
Eggs and groceries were a symbol for the election of Trump
Now groceries are expensive and eggs are dangerous to eat
And Trump is in the catering cart at the airport chowing down.
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?
People have actually justified it by saying adjusted for inflation it’s actually cheaper
i love the loss of purchasing power, how about you?
Poetic really.
All you LIBTARDS have TDS! I don’t remember ANYONE complaining about THIS during BIDENS Administration!
-Super Seriously Smarty Republicans!
All you LIBTARDS have TDS! I don’t remember ANYONE complaining about THIS during BIDENS Administration!
-Super Seriously Smarty Republicans who totally did complain about exactly this during, and after Biden’s administration
