Dont worry, everything will be perfectly fine, honest.

Donald Trump intends to roll back food safety regulations if he wins the White House in November.

In a fact sheet Thursday, the campaign highlighted a number of "specific regulations to be eliminated" under the GOP nominee's economic plan, including what they called the "FDA Food Police."

“The FDA Food Police, which dictate how the federal government expects farmers to produce fruits and vegetables and even dictates the nutritional content of dog food,”

“The rules govern the soil farmers use, farm and food production hygiene, food packaging, food temperatures and even what animals may roam which fields and when,”

"It also greatly increased inspections of food 'facilities,' and levies new taxes to pay for this inspection overkill."

From the article: "Agencies would be required to list all regulations and rank them in terms of their contribution to growth, health and safety." Oh the horrors, we'll need to do a cost-benefit analysis and prioritize regulatory rulemaking. Oh noes, what ever will we do if people in Washington DC can't hassle people about buying unpasteurized milk cheeses or foods containing trans-fats. Us stupids need to be told by our betters what to eat, buy, and think.

Wait wait wait, logic to make sure we are spending resources on the most important aspects?? No. Just no, that has no place in government. Next thing you know some crazy person is going to come in here talking about wasting less money. Pfft, that's crazy talk.

Like voter fraud? Like shutting down women's health services? Like investigating a tragedy seven different times? Like increasing military spending?

Yeah, I'm sure everyone believes you and your concern about wasting money. Lol. Concerned troll concerned.
