Thanks to modern companies, politicians and a certain tech billionaire, I can't tell if this was planned, incompetence or both.
ESPECIALLY since the ones affected seem more bought by white people, if the said fruity pebbles or captain crunch was affected then maybe less conspiratorial
Shit like this has been going on for a LONG time. A friend of mine used to troll Monsanto-hired shills on reddit back when Glyphosate was receiving a lot of well deserved attention.
DuPont and the damage they've done is another huge example.
Dealing with the chemical infestation of... well, everything is getting rough for farmers now. I can't use manure from a commercial operation because it's probably tainted with glyphosphate or a neonicotinoid, most food waste from commercial sources the same. So, you have to build your own supply chains, keeping to suppliers that aren't tied to big corporate operations.
Definitely. I mean I don't entirely blame farmers for the situation. Dealing with critters intent on eating up crops wholesale is a never ending battle.
If it were more practical and economical I'd probably favor greenhouses and hydroponics as a way to limit the risk of pests without requiring any chemicals. I guess a more feasible alternative would be if people grew their own little gardens, but I imagine that would only work for so many kinds of crops.
Greenhouses and hydroponics don't work at scale: they're energy and input intensive (petroleum based products). The answer is to stop raising crops like junkies, giving them constant hits of stuff to keep them going. Strong crops resist things.
That's so depressing.
Of course, depending on the chemical used, this could be more widespread than just these two big brands.
Does anyone honestly, comprehensively test man-made substances these days? Do the people who--possibly knowingly--approve this shit have souls left unsold? These careless asses will spell the end of the species.

As expected my previous comment on food safety failures at the expense of monied interests remains valid.
That's so depressing.

All commercial chemicals used in consumer products are tested very stringently. They are tested on a wide base of consumers to see what happens...
I need to move closer to Amish and Mennonite communities so I can buy from them.
You can't raise your own livestock in the city, move out of there immediately.
not even the amish are safe. health feds busting out pasture fed cows like it's a drug bust
"Psst, hey kid. Wanna drink unpasteurized milk?"
My grandpa had a dairy farm when I was a kid. We’d get milk straight from the tank (pre pasteurized).
Best milk I’ve ever had.
The idea that consuming sugar-coated processed grains is the most healthy way to start your day is one of the most successful psyops in history.
Carbs are the foundation of the Food Pyramid, after all.
Go to farmer's markets, gents.

While you can. The whole Amos Miller case is the feds trying to shut down any way for you to buy unadulterated food directly from a farmer.
Exactly, buy in bulk!

And the payout will be a tiny lump sum that barely impacts the company for causing permanent damage
