FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb took a brave stand against Big Government today by cutting the regulations that stopped corporations from putting rat shit, sawdust, and rotten fruit into their shitty frozen pies.

this is about getting rid of nitpicky regulations that said you have to have a certain amount of fruit and no artificial sweeteners. these regulations only applied to frozen cherry pie products, not other kinds of pies or cherry pies that arent frozen. its not like the FDA suddenly turns a blind eye if Sara Lee is filling your cherry pies with rat poop and sawdust.

These regulations were specifically created by the FDA because corporations were filling their frozen cherry pies with rotten shitty fruit that made people sick. The regulation, which also required companies to ensure that their food actually looked like what was on the fucking packaging, was part of a broader regulatory push in the 70′s to stop food companies from (yes literally) letting mouse shit and insect parts contaminate their food. Every building that stores or processes food has a pest problem and corporations will let that shit fester if they’re allowed just so they can save money. The removal of this regulation would put companies on an honor system where the FDA accepts in good faith that companies will not cut corners at every opportunity.

Just like the creation of these regulations was part of a broader push to try to modestly increase the quality of daily human life in this shit-hole country, the removal of them is part of a broader long-term push by the ruling class to maximize profit and shield themselves from being held responsible for (yes literally) filling your food with rotten fruit, rat shit, and sawdust.

Sara Lee’s not gonna fuck you.
