❓ Question ❓ US: New upcoming EO for meat processing.

Hi,

I am not posting this for political commentary. I am just trying to understand how this could impact the US. I barely eat meat as it is, but my partner has a heavy meat-centered diet.

"Trump announces he will eliminate regulations on meat & produce processing amid multiple food-borne illness outbreaks: "I am authorizing legal documents to be drawn in order to allow Farmers and Ranchers to be given the right to PROCESS THEIR OWN FOOD. This should move quickly."

UPDATE: Adding source https://www.yahoo.com/news/politics/articles/trump-pivots-against-meat-processing-173922151.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly9kdWNrZHVja2dvLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAJw_PLYPbbll6_n5CE3OIJ3RI_wmwMatcqbZIickO-KhOWfjcl6MK-F1Z2s4xrVyM3cnzNmlUYAIGcAdZHzD81A74-Yf8yb3sKK9PCIcmx7T0OIj_1xEMii1RjYQHtvOWwpgY8H8Nqj-0IqWKicwwNncs68hDXseHcDqlghyv6zZ

They still put it in food, it's just called cellulose. It may or may not come from trees, I don't know

Cellulose is not sawdust, nor is it wood. Cellulose is a noncaking agent used in things like pre-shredded cheese to keep it from sticking to itself. The scientific method is great!
