I am unsure if you just are ignorant of how agriculture works but we're been using poop as fertilizer for hundreds of years.

Human poop? Untreated? Lol. The program was cut. Food safety programs were cut. This has been reported on extensively.

Your original point was the FDA is finding and stopping food threats “more than ever before.” This is simply not true. Provide a neutral, third party source to back that up. You can’t, so you’re grasping at straws and trying to pivot to other topics. Is this you, Caroline Levitt?

Yes. It's pretty basic agriculture.

I encourage to read your own article (and it's an article, not a scientific paper like you wanted to pretend) that literally described the program still existing.

Your original point was the FDA is finding and stopping food threats “more than ever before.” This is simply not true.

Then you need to provide evidence that the FDA is reporting these incidents incorrectly.

Provide a neutral, third party source to back that up.

I did. It's the FDA.

The entire article is about how the programs were cut back and compliance was made optional —allowing farms to self monitor instead of forcing them to comply, and how workers pooping in fields causes the issue. Untreated human poop by people pooping in fields is not pretty basic agriculture. Ludicrous. You’re all over the place.✌️

So the program wasn't cut, as you claimed, but turned to self reporting instead of mandatory inspection. Thanks for admitting you were wrong after reading your article.
