When I wrote the history of the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) I was astonished by the stories of how few inspectors oversee how many millions of animals a day or week. They used to be able to check each animal. Now they just watch hundreds go by and hope to catch one lame one. Eating industrial meat is dangerous! Stick with farmers you know.
The other way to 'deregulate' is just to fire USDA food inspectors and other non-loyal civil servants in the regulatory agencies. Just dismiss them as "wasteful". You can't regulate what you can't see or inspect. I'm not sure the DOGE kiddos have stopped by the USDA yet, but it is probably on the list somewhere.

Their own families are eating the food that is being handled improperly and they don’t seem to care.
I loved listening to you on IPR and will be following you going forward. Much love and strength to you!
