The suspension is another disruption to the nation's #FoodSafety programs after the termination & departure of 20,000 employees of the Department of #Health & Human Services #HHS, which includes the #FDA, as part of #Trump's effort to shrink the federal workforce.#Musk #RFKJr #PublicHealth #Milk #Dairy #idiocracy #kakistocracy

@Nonilex ok, there is a misunderstanding here. The milk still will be tested by laboratories. But the laboratory that tests those laboratories for "proficiency" (skill and accuracy) will close (temporarily?). In other sciences these also would be called accreditation or reference laboratories. Need to dig in a bit more.

@Nonilex I mean, what could go wrong by not testing something that can literally get people very very sick very very fast if it goes wrong?

@Nonilex probably an excellent time for everyone to switch over to dairy milk alternatives.

@Nonilex I think they took me a little too literally when I said I don't want to live in a country like this.
