Another reason “I’m a rugged individual don’t tell me what to do” people are absolute fools.
Benefitting from untold quantities of rules and regulations, thinking it’s all their personal merit, wanting to swing an axe at the branch they’re sitting on.
I’ve had people tell me that “the market” would solve the problem is people were selling tainted food. idiots.
Such short memories.
The market gave us sawdust and chalk in bread. Regulation took it back out.
Right?? I’m like, didn’t you learn anything in high school history? But then I know that conservatives have been attacking education for decades, and a lot of people just kind of slept through school.
Let’s not forget the river fires!
I can’t think of a single time industry self regulation has ever resulted in a government not having to step in and level a petty fine to stop something from happening.
I’m also trusting billions of freeloading foreigners (bacteria) to help digest the food in my intestinal tract and not go rogue or provoke cancer on a daily basis.
I feel it’s rude to call them freeloading, without them we wouldn’t be able to digest nearly as much food.
Calling them freeloading then going on to say in the same sentence that they help. Also I wouldn’t call them foreigners. Pretty sure they’re native
Have you worked in a restaurant? You ever drink a Slurpee?
Trust me, you’re alright eating plenty of things you wouldn’t do consciously. I’m trusting my immune system to be able to fight off whatever contaminants it finds more than the people in the whole line of farm to plate.
Your immune system doesn’t work against lead
Even commercial food processing, eg grain to flour, has acceptable contamination limits for things like rodent feces and even rodents and that limit isn’t zero.
The water you drink was once dinosaur pee.
And Hitlers cumshot, statistically speaking
Nah. Water is created and destroyed all the time. Here go the formula for photosynthesis:
6CO₂ + 6H₂O + light energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂
Take some baking soda for heart burn. You will instantly know you’ve created water and gas. (But hey, it works.)
NaHCO3 + HCl → NaCl + H2O + CO2
Anyone here burning glucose and breathing?
C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O
JFC, here’s Google’s AI take, depsite the evidence above:
Water on Earth is constantly being transformed through a natural cycle, but it is not created or destroyed. This transformation, known as the Hydrological Cycle, involves processes like evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and runoff. While Earth has a vast amount of water, its total quantity has recently dropped, according to NASA.

Duuuuude you don’t have to tell me twice! I loooooove dinosaur piss!!! I love rubbing it all over my face and tongue.
Funny we hug a line between mass acceptance that you don’t fuck with food and selfish behaviour around disease.
“Wear a hair net.”
“Of course.”
“Wear a mask.”
“Fuck you, let’s wreck the planet.”
“Wear a condom”
“Okay.”
“That’s a candy bar wrapper and a rubber band…”
“SAME CONCEPT ASHLEY!!! GOD!!!”
Damn it Archer!
Every time you breathe you hope people have not farted in your general direction.
Speak for yourself.
Smells like elderberries
Don’t read this before you head to a restaurant.
Can Kansas City’s Hereford House restaurants survive a food contamination scandal?
Alternatively, do read it if you’re having trouble cutting back on fast food spending!
Watched an employee of the local chicken shop tip a dead rat into the alley gutter recently. Not only didn’t they bag and bin it, just tipped it into the gutter out the back of the shop. It’s put me off the place, what other dodgy things aren’t I seeing?
My aunt claims to have heard tales of McDonald’s workers pisssing in the pickle jar
I’ve worked at Maccas. I’ve seen someone sneeze on a tray of half made cheese burgers they were holding, put the bun on and proceed to wrap them for service.
Wow. I bet it was pretty obvious the food tamperer was a fucked up moron at their interview. I would like to see the hiring manager prosecuted.

For what it’s worth, I was a line cook for 15+ years and I’ve only fucked with one person’s food in a serious way.
I’ve put out half-assed food. I’ve giggled with the waitress while destroying some asshole’s mouth with “smoking tonsils” hot sauce additive. He was a dick to my server and asked for wings as hot as possible. Malicious compliance.
I’ve spitefully skimped a pricks burrito on meat. I’ve hooked-up dope customers that treat all the staff like human-beings by making their food with extra care.
Only one person has ever driven me to hock a giant loogey in their food. They were an employee/driver/dealer/shitbag. And I’d do it again.
It’s not difficult to not get fucked with, just treat the people that make and serve your food with basic human dignity. If you get shitty food or service, maybe think about how much the essential worker serving you is getting paid. Think about what you feel entitled to from an essential worker that will never be paid a median income. Have some empathy and class solidarity.
Fuck tipping culture, but tip your server well. If you can, let the kitchen know you care. Send some drinks or tips their way. Or positive feed back.
Problems happen. You are not a jerk for pointing out (politely) a fuck-up. Just keep in mind that, ultimately, it’s the owners and management that are responsible for a bad restaurant. You have no power to change that except by “voting with your dollar”. And that is kinda bullshit, too. Just remember that no matter how mean or shitty you treat a worker, it doesn’t help anything except your inflated sense of entitlement.
Just please have some empathy.
That was a plot point in Fight Club
Farting on merangues.
Your trusting the lowest paid strangers to not have tampered with your food
Relatedly, never abuse your pizza delivery driver. He has unsupervised access to your food, and he knows where you live.
A good reason to treat everyone with respect, if you needed one.
Welcome to anxiety
one of the ways that I get a paranoid schizophrenia patient to eat is by only giving them sealed foods. it generally means they’re living on junk food for a week or so, maybe a month, but to borrow a phrase from labor and delivery nursing “FED is best” (some people will tell you breastfeeding is the only healthy option for a baby but ultimately they gotta eat, so do what you gotta do). I also try to open and pour drinks in front of them, even if it’s a container I can’t give to them like a metal can.
This is actually my very favorite kind of reasoning to oppose to conspiracy theorists. I don’t use food though, because people rarely think of death as a consequence of tampering with food: I use air travel.
“So you say I shouldn’t trust anyone, I see… So you don’t fly anywhere?” “What has that anything to do with it?” “Do you realize how many different people are involved in running checks just to keep you alive at any given moment of a flight and even in the airport?”
Usually these people drive everywhere and are borderline against the existence of public transport, so using trains or subway lines doesn’t work.
I haven’t flown in years and don’t drive
Damn! You are a tough cookie. Do you go to the barber?
Or buy food from a store? Can you imagine the amount of people involved in that and how many nations
Or use tap water to wash your food?
