I said "pulling onions" sounds like jerking off while crying. That's the best I got.

I remember a certain former president trying to deregulate all the things.
Now we’re all getting listeria, and he’s poised to be president again.

Since he loves his hamburders so much let's hope he gets all the onions.

*bad thing happens under Biden
*This is just like when Trump!
OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world · 28 pts · 1y
trump set a bad policy (deregulation of food industry).
That bad policy doesn’t suddenly become undone just because Biden is president. It takes more time to fix than it did to break.

Trump did set up stuff to happen while Biden was president, yes. It's not even a secret trick, only dipshits don't know it happens.

Companies like this get an excuse to sell the same products, at the same price, with less ingredients in these moments. Yes the onions only cost then $.02 each burger, but multiply that by 6.5 million burgers sold per day.
They don't give a shit about you, they are pulling the onions to temp boost profit margin as long as they have the cover to say "out of an abundance of caution"...

Not only that, but some companies don't bring them back. I remember some outbreak happened years ago and Jimmy johns stop serving sprouts on some of their sandwiches. I was assuming they would be back after the outbreak was over, but no. I still eat my sandwiches from their sprout-less.

That's about when I stopped going. I get the veggie sandwich. without the sprouts its just not very good

First they came for the arugula and I did not speak out because arugula is meh. Then they came for the sprouts and I did not speak out because sprouts are whatever. Then they came for the me and my onions and there was no one left to speak for us...because they all had food-borne illnesses.

I wonder how big of a pile of onions could be made with all recalled product.

See it's the veggies that are trying to kill you just as much as the meat if not more.

It's usually uncomposted manure or the proximity to pasture soil that infects vegetables with E. coli, so it's still a result of the animal agriculture industry.

I saw people in the McDonald's drive thru line today. Can't wait to get an ecoli burger I guess.
Kecessa@sh.itjust.works · 6 pts · 1y
Do you really think they're still using the contaminated onions?
3 to 8 days incubation period for e.coli.
KingJalopy@lemm.ee · 2 pts · 1y
Or that people aren't ever in the McDonald's drive thru
