FDA food police? how dumb is this guy?

The FDA literally are the food police.  But Democrats can keep calling farmers who worry about it stupid and wonder why they are losing rural America.

those poor farmers, they have to make food people can actually eat without getting sick. if the shrinking-by-the-day rural america thinks that standard is too strict than I really don't care about their votes.

If you prefer our food to be grown by an ever smaller number of producers relying on tightly controlled factory farming, that's fine. But when the hollowing out of rural America is accompanied by declines in life expectancy, I question whether that is helpful to the goal of people not getting sick.

Life expectancy isn't falling because we aren't getting norovirus in our bacon.

Your argument appears to be more food safety --> less farmers --> more people in cities --> less life expectancy, which isn't exactly wrong, but cutting regulations isn't the way to solve it. It would be better to clean up urban areas instead of trying to do what Trump wants, which wouldn't increase health at all.

It isn't actually about more people in cities.  It's about the people who remain in rural areas not having productive livelihoods or thriving communities, and people everywhere relying on a certain type of agriculture for their food.  I'm not against some sort of food safety regulation, I'm against the way the FDA has tended to approach it, especially since the FSMA passed by Congress.
