Apologies for being slightly tasteless, but - investigators reportedly heard food had allegedly been handled by an individual known to be 'full of shit' in a recent incident.

People everywhere googling whether consuming bronzer + saturated fat leads to E. coli

Do you understand what I am saying?

THERE IS SHIT IN THE MEAT.

There is shit everywhere apparently since our veggies are getting tainted with pathogens as well.

I guess 'employees must wash hands' is only a suggestion these days.

Well it certainly was for Trump, he refused.

FlyingSquid@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 1y

Yep. He said his hands were clean. I've said a couple of times in other threads that translates to me as doesn't wash his hands after using the bathroom.

Yes. There's shit on your counter too. There's shit on your toothbrush. There's shit on you spinach. There's literally shit everywhere.

Fun Fact! There's more fecal matter on your phone than on the average toilet seat

Well I don't clean my phone when I drip pee on it so that makes sense.

What?

So Boar's Head, then BrucePac (who make meat for Costco, Trader Joes, Amazon products), and now McDs.

118 years later, we've forgotten what we've already learned the hard way: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Jungle
