    Unfortunately, the last pandemic didn’t kill off enough of them to solve the problem. So we’ll have to hope this one will do the job.

      I certainly hope nobody starts a MAGA pro-raw (non-chlorinated) chicken movement.

        Ah yes, chlorinated chicken.

        Sound mighty good for you and the chicken, does it not? Chlorinated.

        Banned everywhere except in the US due to low animal welfare standards (it hides diseases and other fuckery) and hygiene. (it hides bad hygiene during slaughter)

        So yes, I do hope someone starts this movement and gets the US to acknowledge the troubles with it.

          it hides bad hygiene during slaughter

          That’s the beautiful part about washing with chlorine. It only kills pathogens on the outside, which is logical. Anything inside the meat probably survives that. However, the testing for these pathogens only happens on the outside, because usually that’d be sufficient - but it no longer is when you chloride.

          Something else the US does differently is that eggs are washed and as such must be cooled because might remove the protective layer. Here in Germany, all eggs are sold non-refrigerated, and battery eggs are illegal, though unfortunately, caging is still legal to until 2029, and personally, I think buying eggs with any rating below “Bio” should be avoided whenever possible, better something with an additional animal welfare label like “Bioland” it “Naturland”.

          Industrial animal farming is disgusting as it is, but leave it to the US to capitalism it up a notch.

            Yeh, I’ve always thought chlorinated Chicken was an abomination. Non-chlorinated in this hypothetical near future would let the bad hygiene (and my god is the US bad at hygienic food production) wild on those owning the libs in 2025.

      Reminded me of this: https://youtu.be/znI046F4FKg

      I think if the bird flu became a thing, hopefully we can produce vaccine quickly. I know we already can do it with other flu, but the process is still time consuming, not sure if there’s mRNA version of flu vaccine.

      But knowing some conspiracy people, yeah I think this would be the hill they would die on. After covid, even if they saw their family and friends dying they would still say that they were murdered in hospitals, or infected with something else secretly or via chem trails.
