Guidelines from the Food and Drug Administration provide an interim reference level (IRL) for lead of 2.2 micrograms. The amount of lead found in these nuggets could be as much as five times higher than this IRL for children.
A recall was not requested because the products are no longer available for purchase. However, FSIS is concerned that some product may still be in consumers’ freezers.
You ate them already. Sorry.

We need to stop normalizing industrial food production and instead grow our own food.
Industrial food production allows roughly 1-2% of workers to grow food for the other 98%. It is basically the foundation of modern civilization. It allows almost all persons, the majority of regions, even nations to be net importers of food either temporarily due to mischance or permanently due to specialization.
Taking this away would collapse modern civilization as effectively as if you literally nuked everyone with the death toll being similar. Worse people don’t react well to starving to death so the rest would probably mostly kill each other other ways.
The medieval society that emerged would produce little art or science but lots of potatoes and grains to support the much smaller total population.
We’re not talking about “return to monke” type bullshit here. There are other ways.
From Permaculture Food Forests to aquaponic warehouse farms, we can do better than… Whatever this lead-riddled hell is.
We can do industrial food production without lead as well
Can we? Sure. Under Capitalism? Nope, not happening.
We absolutely can most people do… Also under capitalism!
Industrial food production is dependent on fossil fuel and is destroying the soil. It is also encouraging large scale production which is bad because
· it monopolizes food production which enables might and outcompete small scale farming.
· is homogenizing food, making it more vulnerable to mass crop failure, and decreasing the diversity of food.
· require massive infrastructures to distribute the food.
But we cant transition over night. We have to grow forth this reality by mindfully construct lettens that normalize this state of being.
You misunderstand we can’t transition AT ALL from industrialized food without killing most people and destroying civilization because it depends on 98% of people able to do something other than food. We can’t grow enough food for everyone and we can’t use 50-80% of our labor producing food anymore.
We could dramatically decrease usage of meat or eliminate it, ship things less so we eat mostly what is available nearby most of the time, waste less, and make methods healthier and greener. We cannot do what you want.
Industrial food production is fine with proper regulations and oversight.
We don’t, and won’t, have that though. Capitalism is fine with proper guidance and oversight too. But we don’t have that.
So unless we do it ourselves. we are poisoned.
You can actually buy healthy food. Chicken wads shaped like dinosaurs were probably never the best option.
You absolutely cannot buy healthy food if you are 95% of the population. I do not know what world do you think you are living in but it is not that one, it is this one and everything is poisoned. Everything. Sweet dreams.
However I do agree that chicken loaf is not the best option.
How do you solve the carbon footprint issue of everyone needing their own car?
We dont need cars. Cars is actually part of the unwellness. Cars require overproduction and death regardless of whether we use fossil or electrical fuel. If we just look at the local cost of cars: · they are taking away space from our communities tyat could be used to gather, helping wildlife and grow food · they normalize long distance travelling, and therefore weakening local communities · they are making our societies unsafe in the sense that we cant let children play outside · they are at odds with samlife in the sense that they are endangering wildlife.
The great thing about humans is that we are very adaptable. We arent naturally dependent on cars. We dream, and we do. So if we dream of a carfree society, we can in fact do it.
So we have busses going along every rural farm road? Sure, bud.
no buses
So you just never visit family or spend time with friends? You want a mandatory hermit life for everyone?
we need to take care of Earth
we cant go on like this
cars are killing the planet
And what happens when someone has a heart attack? Too bad so sad?
The machine has granted us great amounts of goods. Hospitals, cars, safety, televisions and plains. However it has also removed ourselves from meaningful lives. We gain and loose from the machine, but in the long term, we loose.
The machine is good at aiding when the damage is imminent, but bad at prevention. I dont say heart failure is something to scough at, but the bigger picture is that we move towards more meaningful lives.
How do things and people get between places?
Through slow transportation. This would gradually be realized as people start to take stewardship for their local communities. As we grow our own food to an increasing degree, our need to travel long distances will be reduced more and more.
We need 98% of our people to do other things than grow food unless we want to collapse back into the 1800s
