The first one: I dismissed it immediately because of this lie "
decreasing the number of USDA inspectors and replacing them with company employees to do key food safety inspection tasks."
The USDA addressed this not only in a previous statement I posted, but here:
https://www.fsis.usda.gov/wps/porta...se-archives-by-year/archive/2019/nr-040819-01 Its a flat out lie.
The second one:
I stopped at ""The implementation of the rule will result in the fox guarding the henhouse. With less government oversight over hog slaughter inspection, big meat companies will have the freedom to inspect themselves and push towards their goal of increasing line speeds,"
First, the first claim is an outright lie. Second, there are alot of "could, "might", and "may" in there. Thats alot of unfounded speculation. And finally about line speed, thats also a "could". As noted in previous statements by both the USDA and the pork industry that I posted, the line supervisor has the freedom to adjust line speed as necessary.
The 3rd one: more of the same from the second. And you may have missed the line "Citing its pilot program, the USDA says it doesn't expect speeds to significantly increase "
Now, with that all said, is there cause for concern at all? Of course. That is always a concern when modernizing anything. But the cherry picking of negative "might be, could be, may be" is just fluff. And of course, as previously posted, this has NOTHING to do with Trump.
