      Yeah, so that RFK Jr. would say they’re not to blame. Although, they could have just paid him in roadkill for the same result.

      So many regulations exist because businesses can’t be trusted to do the right thing. And then they bitch about all the regulations. Like, hey assholes, it’s your damn collective fault that you need to be regulated in the first place.

      I will believe the Republican talking point of „corporations are people“ when those corporations can demonstrate they have a conscience.

      Taylor Farms refuses to give its pickers bathroom breaks so they oftentimes have no other choice than to shit and piss in the fields while picking the crops.

      Human shit is what spread cyclospora.

      So they’re doubly responsible for the outbreak for their terrible employment practices and lobbying to eliminate FDA monitoring and testing

      That explains why a lot of news agencies focused on Taco Bell. They were probably told by the administration not to put blame on Taylor Farms.

      The political donations will get all the attention. The timeline of recalls and contamination issues is the part I couldn’t stop thinking about.

      Even if Taylor Farms is innocent & has safe lettuce, no one’s going to believe it. Ha.

      Hit them where it hurts, in the pocket. 

      Boycott Magat infested Taylor Farms.

      The corruption in the US has to end. It is out of control. Start with their clients. According to Google it includes pretty much everyone.

      **McDonald’s, Chipotle Mexican Grill, Taco Bell** (via Yum! Brands), **Subway, KFC, Pizza Hut, Papa John’s, Darden Restaurants** (e.g., Olive Garden), **Wendy’s, Walmart, Costco, Target, Whole Foods, Sysco, U.S. Foods.**

      If you have a hospital bill from this I wonder if you can go after them for it?

      Yeah, when I saw the outbreak spike in Michigan and Ohio, I threw out the 2 bags of Taylor’s Farms I had just bought. What a horrible company. Never again. Switched to locally grown hydroponic lettuce.

      I did enjoy all their premade salads but now I will actively avoid them.

      This is what every libertarian who wouldn’t shut up in 2016 was arguing for. „A free market economy will regulate itself.“ Yeah they’ll regulate by determining how many people they can poison before it hurts their bottom line. Fucking morons.

      We need a full boycott of Taylor farms. They simply bought their way out of accountability so we need tot spent in our own hands to hold them accountable. Tell Taco Bell and your local supermarket and anyone who sources their food from Taylor farms you won’t be shopping at their store any longer.

      We gotta stop letting the oligarchs take advantage of us.

      Taylor Farms competitors can capitalize on this. Put they’re ‚Taylor Farms Free‘ – I’d buy produce w/ that sticker.

    22. barringtonmacgregor on

      And so we should all remember this and boycott anyone distributing products from Taylor Farms.

      Trump mad b/c everyone making fun of him shitting himself so he makes everyone else shit themselves so he can feel normal.

      Imagine you go back to 2015 and read this headline. We are living through the dumbest timeline.

    29. HistoricalSea5600 on

      This administration really *is* full of shit, top to bottom. Thanks MAGA

      No wonder there were no ICE raids in the Salinas Valley between King City and Salinas. Taylor Farms headquarters is in Salinas. Fields have always been full of workers. I guess they were all on H2Bs😁

      Time for Costco to find another supplier. I will never again purchase their products.

      I feel like doing something like this right before you cause a disaster should effectively be mens rea & be tried as you causing this knowingly, purposefully, recklessly & negligently.

      If something bad happens with all the best precautions that’s tragic. If you intentionally gut safety, that’s a poisoning.

      **Brands generally not associated with Taylor Farms**
      These companies have their own processing operations for many of their products:
      **Fresh Express**
      **Dole Fresh Vegetables**
      **Earthbound Farm** (organic)
      **Mann Packing** (owned by Del Monte Fresh Produce)
      **Organicgirl**
      **Marketside** products *may* be packed by different companies, so check the label carefully.

      Rfk Jr meanwhile says the outbreak is under control. Not that he has any business nor medical experience anyway to be in the position he is in
