Capitalist agriculture is also using antibiotics way too much; so drug-resistant foodborne pathogens are popping up left and right.^[Mancuso G, Midiri A, Gerace E, Biondo C. Bacterial Antibiotic Resistance: The Most Critical Pathogens. Pathogens. 2021 Oct 12;10(10):1310. doi: 10.3390/pathogens10101310. PMID: 34684258; PMCID: PMC8541462.]

This problem would be straight up solved through the use of cold plasma; which we developed a decade ago, yet I don't see it being used anywhere.

I have a conspiracy that the drug industry is intentionally bribing farm industries to promote antibiotics; so that the health industry can extract more wealth from the proletariat.

Some drug companies are also investing into microbiological companies (ones that research gut flora in the stomach, intestines, and mouth). They're inevitably going to use those companies to extract wealth.

Nice to see you back. I will read that, you must be well read. Half of the Usonian diet is probably at least mildly poisonous.

Ah, I must be unbanned now.

Yep. We literally ingest cancer-causing nitrates.

I bet there is a ton of corruption in the FDA as well; so I'm never eating at a U.S capitalist restaurant again.

You mean from the fertilizer or the pesticides? I read that pretty interesting but I am going to have to see those specifics cited elsewhere also to get the full scientific picture since I don't regularly read scientific papers like that. Luckily I installed Mendley a while back and it made it easier to actually get the document.

But I'm aware humanity is prob gonna get railed by those microbes in our lifetime especially if there is continued societal breakdown particularly associated with climate change or whatever other disasters capitalism creates.

Prob the safest way to get food is to grow it yourself or amongst your people. Not that most people can really do that. What do you think of the veggies, fruits, meat, etc from the local/chain markets in the US?
