This approach is not going to save $. It will cost more and include massive healthcare impacts - the continuous pressure can break systems. Not to mention deaths. 😔

in reply to Daniel Marks • • •The lack of monitoring is what will be really deadly. How will we even know there's a problem if nobody is tracking foodborne illnesses and figuring out the cause? The public will remain uninformed because nobody will be assembling and publicizing the information.
