This is the most literal “not the onion” post I’ve ever seen.
I thought the same thing!
Republican Senator Rick Scott
Say no more
Goddamnit Florida…go home you’re drunk and high.
Oh it’s Ricky Dick.
Headline seems a bit hyperbolic. Sounds like he’s saying it’s a public health risk, not a national security risk. I don’t know if it’s either one, but healing seems sensational.
He directly says it’s both:
“Food safety and security is an existential emergency that poses grave threats to our national security, public health, and economic prosperity.”
Ah, okay, I missed that
I smell vampire lobbying.
Kinda gamey
“Communist” garlic?!?
I’ll be damned before my tomato sauce seasoning seizes the means of production.
Seasons the means of production you mean
COVID is no big deal but Communist Sewage Garlic is an immediate threat. I’m ashamed that this is one of my senators.
Based on your downvotes and consistent experience in other parts of Lemmy I’m starting to believe the average Lemmy user is bad at general reading comprehension
99% of us are the detritus of Reddit that had the momentary good sense to bail early
The proportion of people who can’t read between the lines and can’t parse more than one logic-altering operator in a sentence is way too damn high! Like really off. Worse than reddit in that way, I hate to admit.
I used to be able to read between the lines but ever since I switched to dark mode it’s been a struggle
What do you mean by that?
when I posted that, the root comment was getting downvoted to hell, while all the other comments with the same position where getting a lot of upvotes
-all except for another root comment using clear sarcasm to express the same.
I’ve seen this far, far more frequently here on Lemmy than anywhere else on the internet. Maybe that person making statistical inferences that Lemmy might have a lot more autistic people relatively could be right.
Chinese garlic is very obviously being grown indoors in hydroponics/aeroponics or some sort of greenhouse setup - There has never been a speck of dirt on it. The heads are of extremely consistent size. Listen I prefer local garlic because its many times more flavorful, but I keep garlic so long it sprouts as it is. So I buy it at the grocery store year-round.
They also use slave labour. In prisons they maul their fingers until they have no nails, then they work them to the bone. Every day all day
Not doubting, but do you have a source so I can read more about it?
“Garlic Breath” is a episode from the Netflix series “Rotten” that brought this information to the mainstream.
Oh fuck 😔
Instead of Chinese garlic I just use the jar of preserved minced garlic at Costco when no local garlic is available. It’s grown in California and basically pickled in citric acid. It adds a little sourness but it’s better than buying questionable produce from China IMO.
I also have a shitload of onions hanging in the basement from my garden and they are so potent it makes up for any garlic weakness!

Not The Garlic
There are documentaries showing Chinese prisoners being forced to peel garlic to the point they lose fingernails. The US levied heavy tariffs due to the dumping (fine with slave labor though I guess), then the Chinese used other countries as a middle man to get around them. I doubt it’s a national security risk, but it’s absolutely fucked up.
Don’t buy peeled garlic.
He refers to practices which, he says, have been “well documented” in online videos, cooking blogs and documentaries, including growing garlic in sewage.
crazy conservatives on the crazy conservative part of youtube
It’s a security risk because it doesn’t deter vampires
Sort of ignorant to how “sewage” is actually used as fertilizer, the same microbial processes that make animal sewage safe can make human sewage safe. Anyone with a septic system on their home sees how this works.
Mushrooms are also grown in literal shit but it’s steam sterilized.
We’re strongly advised not to grow anything edible within 10’ of our septic leach field. I don’t see how septic shows the average home owner that human sewage can be made safe.
That is cow shit, not human shit. It’s already safe, it’s just grass and the bacteria that ferment it. Human waste has human pathogens in it.
Carnivore waste in general is more foul and we have an instinctive disgust response to it.
Farm anecdote time, if you wipe out and fall in cow shit it’s like “lol I got cow shit all over me better take a shower when we’re done” but if you even step in dog shit it’s “oh nasty hang on I got dog shit on my boot I gotta scrape it off right now”
Cattle can get both listeria and salmonella, which are human pathogens.
Damn, I wonder if there is a method to remove germs and bacteria from it before consuming. Like heating it in a pan or oven.

I have definitely never eaten a clove of raw garlic on a dare, nor have i done it again to show that i am plenty capable of eating an entire glove of raw garlic.
Eww
Just because you don’t like something doesn’t mean it shouldn’t or doesn’t exist.
“This Garlic is Shit”
