What aren't they redacting? A year-long outbreak of Listeria was fatal and hospitalized people. But FDA redacted the report so we don't know where, what product(s), the producers, sellers, distributors. How is this in our interest?

Farm workers under a UFW contract a Gallo vineyards are starting their work day with "la escuelita" where a lead worker demonstrates exactly how the company wants the pruning done. #WeFeedYou
The conflict in Iran is creating uncertainty for Nebraska farmers, who rely on fertilizer from the area.
Never underestimate sustainable farming! 🌱🌍 It slashes human-caused GHG emissions while rebuilding healthy soils and strengthening communities. Less chemicals, more biodiversity = real climate action. Who's ready to farm smarter? #SustainableFarming #ClimateChange
Worker standing in a palm date orchard after getting to the work site but before getting suited up
"Daniel" is about to suit up to remove thorns from the date. The fronds are lined w/2-6 inch needle-sharp thorns - sharp enough to puncture tractor tires. Workers wear thick, puncture resistant gloves & eye protection as thorns can cause severe injury or infections. #WeFeedYou
One surprising side effect of the US war in Iran: American farmers are staring down soaring fertilizer prices at the worst possible time.

Thanks, FDA. Food manufacturers have skirted regulations for years, adding unsafe chemicals to food via a convenient no-safety-testing loophole. Another reason why ultra-processed foods should be minimized, even those billed as "natural."

Our taxes
Our taxes are paying for this instead of healthcare.
One of the world's top medical journals' cover story: "RFK Jr.: 1 Year of Failure." Medical experts warn there's little hope for US health to improve while he uses junk science and fringe beliefs to make decisions impacting us and our kids.

Workers laboring in a cauliflower field after a heavy rain
"Camilo" sent this from where he is harvesting cauliflower in Santa Maria CA. "The recent rains have made the grounds extremely slippery so we have to be very careful not to slip. It makes the hard work we do even harder." #WeFeedYou

Thankful for all of Cindy McCain’s incredible work as the Director of the World Food Programme. She supported our farmers at home while feeding families across the world. I know her dedication to protecting the most vulnerable at a time of increasing conflict will continue.
Got my first "stop writing about ICE in your newsletter" email, which argued that we need to focus on food and not politics. Folks: THEY ARE INTERMINGLED. You can't declare war on the beating heart of the hospitality community without changing the food culture!!
A worker harvesting leeks on a hot 90° day
"Jesse" was harvesting leeks in Moorpark CA. "It's sunny and 90° today-very different from last week's rainy 65° weather. I'm grateful my UFW contract ensures shade, breaks and cool water. Many non-union workers don't get this and changes like this are hard on our body." #WeFeedYou
If you know a farmer, take a moment today to thank them. The government and society may fail to honor them, but we, as individuals, can start the change right now. Gratitude begins at home.Sustainable farming systems are critical pillars of fighting food insecurity.
Synthetic fertilizers used in conventional farming practices release significant amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. By incorporating pulses that fix nitrogen into the soil,farmers can reduce their reliance on these chemical fertilizers,thereby decreasing greenhouse.
Check your freezer before you eat: possible Listeria contamination in Willamette Valley Fruit Co blueberries; also Wellesly Farms Atlantic Salmon. And Bremer Family-Size Italian Style Meatballs have metal fragments--not in the recipe! Toss.

RFK Jr. may like raw milk but Tennessee is experiencing bad side effects: E. coli is making people sick, and it can prove fatal in young children, old folks, pregnant women, and those with weakened immunity. This is why we pasteurize milk!

A farm worker harvesting strawberries
"Mario" shares, "I'm a strawberry picker. I wake up at 4:30 in the morning to work for 4 to 5 hours in this cold damp weather. I end up earning $60 to $80. I do it with great pride. Farm workers are essential. We put food on America's tables." #WeFeedYou

So why is farm land not a worthy asset anymore? Because of a vicious cycle. Sustaining a family…
Humans, your media are wilfully hiding a grubby little climate secret i.e. the extent to which greenhouse gas emissions are caused by meat & dairy🐮🐷🐏🐔🌎🥵
And at the same time their 'Food' sections continue to promote meat & dairy ingredients.

Guess who's not doing their job? Well, besides him. And her. Them. Food recalls take too long, even a year; they may not be made public, fail to identify a cause, and food continues to sicken, even kill. Hey FDA: do your job!

A worker harvesting strawberries in muddy ground
Chocolate covered strawberries are a great #ValentinesDay treat. Let's give a cheer for workers like "Eva" who was laboring in Ventura County CA. She had to trudging through slippery muddy rows to bring this sweet fruit to our table. #WeFeedYou
Every strawberry tells a love story. Not the kind sold in candy, but a story rooted in sacrifice. Farmworkers harvest with care, yet they face low wages and fear. Love means respect. Love means justice. Love means standing with farmworkers.
