We found the US is on track to have the fewest foreign food safety inspections since 2011, excluding pandemic years.
In recent years, the FDA has typically been able to conduct ~110 inspections each month, but in March, the number of inspections dropped almost in half.

Wait. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said Medicaid recipients could replace immigrant farmworkers. Is she daft?
Does she have any idea why folks are on Medicaid? Or what’s involved in picking crops? My goodness.

SNAP, our most effective nutrition assistance program, is under attack.
Instead of lowering grocery bills, the Republican Budget Bill would leave 4M+ kids, seniors, veterans and working families with less food.
This isn’t fiscal responsibility—it’s cruelty disguised as budgeting.

A new book argues that the Irish famine was a particularly virulent form of exploitative capitalism that left millions of people exposed to the instability of short-term rental of land, to fluctuating food markets, and to insufficient wages.
What Made the Irish Famine So Deadly
The Great Hunger was a modern event, shaped by the belief that the poor are the authors of their own misery and that the market must be obeyed at all costs.
