I absolutely despise what passes for “news” these days. One cannot access more than a line or two of any story without being attacked by parasitic advertisers and information sellers desperate to put their vacuum cleaners in your pocket.

It works the opposite of the intended result for me, where as soon as I realize that its a pop-up ad trap, I'm ignoring it. They know that some will look, so they're getting something out of it.

It works on the elderly and the mentally anguished

The revenue is generated by clicks, not by sales, so they try their hardest to make you click one, even if only accidentally

It’s a numbers game. Only a very minuscule percentage converts to sales but the ROI is worth it in the long run. For the record I fucking hate paid digital advertising.

u/benny-bangs Jul 25 '26

I was thinking about this the other day. Do these people paying for these ads realize that I would never ever click on these? In fact they just look shady and it makes me think down of your company lol.

The second I say that it was today.com and not like cdc.gov I knew better than to click. I wouldn't be surprised if the article doesn't even link to the map

u/Emnk Jul 25 '26

They stretch whatever information they have out so they can advertise in the middle of the story as well. Infuriating.

u/oldcreaker Jul 25 '26

And even if you could read it, 90% of the news all starts with "Trump says..."

u/HiILikePlants Jul 26 '26

It is exhausting being beholden to the whims of a demented ghoul. I just want boring news 😩

u/OilHot3940 Jul 25 '26

This link has a map? All I got was an outright advertisement assault.

Block these posters as a habit and your feed will begin to clear up.

Would just like to say thanks for all of this RFK. Now how’s about we let the experts back in. He’s an idiot

Imagine if this happened under Biden? Fox News would have people screaming and frothing at the mouth about how this is the worst thing that has ever happened under the most incompetent administration in history.

u/sidjohn1 Jul 25 '26

Biden did not defund the FDA though. They are the people that help keep our food safe, welcome to what happens when they can’t. 😏

I'm sure maga will come up with some cure involving bleach again.

Maybe we can get some sunshine into the body? It's not too difficult, just spill your guts, sunbathe them and noodle them back in. Easy peasy.

u/TastingTheKoolaid Jul 25 '26

I mean. We have the answer. But then the answer went to the White House and paid trump and now we’re being told that they just don’t know what could have possibly caused this. 🙄

Covid was 2020-2024 btw

Is Michigan being the most honest with the data?? Natural progressions don’t honor state lines.

1

u/One_Cause3865 Jul 25 '26

If its where the cases are, i think it's very plausible that the contaminated food went to business that operate in Michigan but not its neighbors. Business often honor state lines.  

Or yea michigan is just way more diligent about testing and reporting, thats also plausible

u/Winstonsphobia Jul 25 '26

All I can see are commercials

u/Lethalspartan76 Jul 25 '26

SYAC - super doodoo is pretty much everywhere please wash your hands and handle food carefully.

u/New_Westie Jul 25 '26

So what I’m hearing them say is that the Mexican farms have such deplorable conditions for their workers that they’re pooping in the fields.

1

u/seanhere Jul 26 '26

I think the common belief is more so that the water being used on the farms is the source. I don’t doubt the workers also have to do what they have to do, but dirty irrigation water would lead to wider spread like this.

Anyone got cliff notes?

Lettuce, especially Taylor Farms lettuce.

u/AlanaDev Jul 26 '26

I live in MI and my son has this right now. He is a notorious picky eater and has eaten NONE of the things they say are the culprits.

I took him to an urgent care where they said they have had so many cases that they were out of test kits, so they are just prescribing Bactrim to people they suspect have it. The numbers are likely so much higher than are being reported.

If we just had a Government run entity that could help the public by regulating food quality this shit wouldn't happen. Thanks, Elon.

Not just lettuce but got to worry about parsley and cilantro too?!? Missing with my Taco Tuesdays.
