American meat is shockingly poor

>New analysis reveals that as many as 15% (one in seven) of the US population suffers from foodborne illnesses annually.

>a legal loophole... allows meat with salmonella to be sold in the human supply chain

>Meat destined for the human food chain found riddled with faecal matter and abscesses filled with pus

>Dirty chicken, soiled with faeces or having been dropped on the floor, being put back on to the production line after being rinsed with dilute chlorine.

>In a separate incident, a pig’s head was found to have partially covered a drain, leading to “bloody waste water filling the area”. This and another blockage caused by a buildup of skin led to dirty water flooding other areas.

>The US has shockingly high levels of foodborne illness, according to a new analysis by UK pressure group Sustain. It says that annually, around 14.7% (48 million people) of the US population is estimated to suffer from an illness, compared to around 1.5% (1 million) in the UK. In the US, 128,000 are hospitalised, and 3,000 die each year of foodborne diseases.

yeah it's pretty bad
i hate that "usda prime" is a meme for stupid people so finding actual good beef can be difficult

>the color of fat as an indicator of quality

I like white fat and yellow women

>literally never had a foodborne illness in my life
I don't think that statistic can be correct. So on average, everyone gets a food borne illness once every seven years. Yet I've met like 3 people max who have ever had something like salmonella from home-cooked food. Excepting restaurant food. In that case, it's not low quality of food causing the illness, it's shit tier mexican wageslave cooks who don't wash their hands after they shit. My advice: don't eat at a place that hires spics and niggers. Problem solved.

Anyway, no point wasting good food on fatty poorfags. Let them eat pus sacks.

obsessed

...

The (((research))) was done by the Guardian and some nobody NGO. Quit reading after that, the obvious anti-brexit angle taints the whole story also.

nice non-responses to the findings

It's in all the papers, user. Surely google news will get you sauce?

not an argument

I'm questioning the findings, methodology, and motivation. It's called critical thinking skills, my pasty faced inbred friend.

enjoy your foodbourne disease, friendo :^)

How about you cuckasians start working these jobs again?

How much horse meat did they find?

This has been known since forever. Are they just maneuvering this in a bid to get more food shipped in from China? I'm glad I became a farmer.

Both of those sources are highly acclaimed for their work. Deny all you want.

this. pretty much soros shilling.

USA quality of life is surprisingly poor for many of us. Most people are a paycheck away from living on the streets. The food distribution networks are over-taxed. Livestock is pumped full of all sorts of drugs to increase growth, stave off infection, and whatever else you can think of. I am sickened by the typical meat you get at Wal-Mart or other low-end markets in the states. But it's all I can afford, and many others are in the same situation.

Find 3 things that are (((problematic))) with the piece.

...

Well yeah, no surprises here.

It is rather sad. The richest country in the world has the lowest standard of living of any first world country. That's what happens in late stage capitalism when all tax money goes to the military and those corporations and special interest johns who paid the most to a whore congress and presidency. But they're digging their own grave. Good riddance.

>one time, the USDA found something gross and made them stop

who do you think writes those reports?

wtf is a cuckasian?

I don't really understand how you COULD assume US meat has a good quality when you consider the culture it exists in.
Everything needs to be nickled and dimed, regulations are for communists and liberals, it's literally illegal to film certain animal farms because the conditions are so bad etc.
Chickens are dipped in fucking chlorine because they're so infested with shit from the farms, not to mention fed arsenic and beef is injected with growth hormones to produce larger livestock (illegal in many places of the world).

I'm sure you can get some of the best pieces of meat in the world in America, but the average cut in the store is fucking shit.

It's not the richest country in the world, and by every measure the standard of living is very, very high. Cute, but it's easy to see through your schtik.

>I am sickened by the typical meat you get at Wal-Mart or other low-end markets in the states. But it's all I can afford

Then can't you just not eat meat?

It's like something is trying to destroy the people from the inside out. This is idolatry and occultism at its finest.

meat is one of the few luxuries poor people can afford in USA

Poor people arent poor in the U.S.A.

The only one I've ever had was my own fault for storing something improperly. I really wonder if it isn't just the complete lack of common sense from "THUG LYFE" causing some of that food poisoning.

and yes I am literally asking how many of the poisoning cases are stupid niggers

>growth hormones

rbST is mentioned on almost every label as not being present, we bitched it out of existence, again with this europe being decades out of date shit

those crazy american kids and their bellbottoms huh?

>when all tax money goes to the military

I agree about the corporations and special interests, but money spent on the US militarily usually finds it's way into the pockets of workers. The only really wasteful things in military spending are no-bid contracts and the mismanagement of funds (which are often connected to each other). Otherwise the military employs a lot of people, not just in combat positions, but also in research, engineering, administrative, and other professional positions too. These aren't corporate minimum wage part-time retail jobs, these are jobs that pay a decent living wage and have good benefits.

I think in many cases, a bout of diarrhea is as bad as it gets.

Back to your cesspool of a board

So that's why chicken tastes like pool

I agree. its so bland and low quality. I'm from Alberta Canada and traveled to the US for a few months and cooked some food and can absolutely taste and feel a huge difference between the quality. Feel sorry for Americans

So what's the Brits top standard of beef? Is it rated by horse content?

hey guys! look at this butthurt nigger.

Oh no, an MSPaint image. You really showed them.

I haven't been to reddit in years. Is it this bad over there now?

I wish deregulate everything meme would die. It's only giving everyone shitty everything.

>shockingly

>/bant/
avatarfags and tripfags begone from this holy board

no one is forcing anyone to buy anything.

Might I offer a solution?
>steep tax hikes for the rich
>cut taxes on the middle class and poor
>legislate a Universal Basic Income, though one that is equivalent to less than minimum wage
>legislate new higher health and quality standards for commercial meat production
>legislate tons of new regulations on the economy in general aimed at protecting consumers and natural resources
>legislate tax cuts for traditional, enivornmentally friendly, small scale farms
>tax the absolute fuck out of factory farms, particularly ones with high water usage, and stop subsidizing their destruction of out nation’s environment
>pay for ad campaigns that educate the public about environmental issues as well as dietary health and how the two relate
>accept that Socialism Lite™ is what America needs to tame capitalism so that as success comes to as many of us as possible

I like this plan

It's either this or the continual shrinking of the middle class and an environment that rivals Beijing with a few percent who can jet off to a socialist lite country that still has a relatively pristine environment for their fun.

better dead than red

>steep tax hikes for the rich

>no one has to eat the only slop we ladle into their pig trough
You must be awfully desperate for big agri/chemical corporate cock to white night them on a namibian colonial diamond mining discussion board.

The rich people are already the ones that pay all the taxes you dumbfuck. Fuck off back to /pol/

Yes, that's correct, white people are so dumb they will eat anything if not legislated and regulated just like the european cattle they descended from

Why would he go to /pol/, a primarily right leaning board with his socialist ideals you fucking brainlet

That's the politics board, correct? That's where anyone can go to talk politics, unless they want a circlejerk thread on an unrelated, offtopic board. And why are you assuming xer's gender you shitlord?

How much should the rich pay, and how much should the poor pay?

Lol! Drumpf literally refused to release his taxes because they showed he payed nothing and Cletus McTroglodyte might have opened opened his eyes and slobbered, "nahhh."

The top 1% pay 68% of the taxes.
While the bottom 50% pay 3%.

I'll ask you again: How much should everyone pay?

Can puss-filled, glued together, chlorinated floor-meat from Walmart really be considered a luxury item though?

Wouldn't cleaner non-meat foods be considered better?

*10%

...

This is why I am pescatarian. Fucking disgusting.

...

There's nothing wrong with chlorinated chicken, it's a trade measure designed to protect the walled garden EU market.

...

...

You're not funny, you obvious leddit transplant. You sound like you just came here after you saw a WACKY screenshot of a dinotendies thread on Facebook.

PETA thread is peta.

I can sympathize, but affordable meat is a relatively new phenomenon. So there's that at least.

You're not very creative, and sorry for shitting in your daisy chain

Do you eat tilapia and salmon that live in their own crowded shit water? Unless you're discerning or rich, you're eating trash if you're buying regular shit from the store.

>so that as success comes to as many of us as possible
why the fuck do I care if you're successful or not?
fuck off

>American meat that tastes like garbage came from livestock that was raised in garbage

Yeah, we know. We are also not going to do anything about it because we don't want to corn producers to get mad

>don't eat at a place that hires spics and niggers

That is every restaurant as they are the only ones who will literally work for free to get a step in the industry

>Salmonella and norovirus are both highly associated with “complex foods” (tied for 6th), a category created
to capture outbreaks associated with non-meat dishes comprised of multiple ingredients, and for which a
specific contaminated ingredient could not be identified. The nature of these outbreaks suggests an important
role for contamination, cross-contamination, and other mistakes during handling, preparation, and cooking.
The role of food workers has long been understood as a critical factor in outbreaks (Greig et al. 2007). It
has been suggested that up to 70 percent of foodborne illness are acquired outside the home (Chapman et
al. 2010). In our analysis of complex food outbreaks between 1998 and 2008, more than 70 percent of those
due to Salmonella and 80 percent of those due to norovirus were prepared in professional kitchens.

niggers and spics, folks.

>The US has shockingly high levels of foodborne illness, according to a new analysis by UK pressure group Sustain. It says that annually, around 14.7% (48 million people) of the US population is estimated to suffer from an illness, compared to around 1.5% (1 million) in the UK.
Do people in the UK have better sanitary habits? I've seen people like Auntie Fee (RIP) handling raw chicken and then touching spice containers and other things in the kitchen without washing her hands, and a bunch of YT comments saying how it's fine because they have immune systems and worrying about cleanliness is for wimps. Does that ever happen in the UK?

>don't eat at a place that hires spics and niggers.
literally impossible to avoid nowadays

nigger

>rich all move away
what's the problem lad

Yellowish fat on beef will generally indicate that the animal was raised on grass. You can find grass fed beef with white fat, too, but generally it means that it is grain fed.

If raised properly and cooked properly, grass fed beef trounces grain fed beef every time.

>guardian.

Cows can't physically eat enough grass to get proper marbling. They need to at least be finished with grain to produce good steak.

I've had food poisoning from chain restaurants no less than 4 times in my adult life.

Thanks Bennigans.
Thanks McYuck.

So according to canada grass fed beef (yellow fat) is inferior

wtf I'm vegan n-

I'm pretty sure the only people who care about the UK enough to hate them are the Irish and Scottish.

La creatura is triggered

But the EU itself is a dystopian nightmare police state too.

Yuck, now i dont feel like travelling to america as much anymore... idk how they can support this industry. how morally bankrupt do u have 2 be???

Then surely you can muster up a better counterargument than 'hurrrr librul propaganda'. They've done the statistical analysis, and have ample evidence of poor sanitation from boots-on-the-ground reports. And figures from the CDC back up their findings, if you're so eager to dismiss NGOs.

Again, what is your counterargument? Or are you going to keep shilling for Big Agriculture, goy?
