Just about everything is poisoning your family ☠️💀☠️ The FDA is the biggest government failure and the biggest waste of American Tax Dollars 💸
What are some good brands…do I need to make it myself?
Why are they doing this to our foods, don't these manufacturers have children or grandchildren of their own.
They all have to meet Jesus for judgement. Pray they repent
It's seem, they want us to eat everything organic, well im not, because you have a greater chance of getting Salmonella from cow urine and every other animal sht that they mix in the ground. The libbies can eat organic crap.
DeCicco is my only brand outside of Trader Joes……
The FDA is as useful as a condom with the tip cut OFF!😂
The dam government !!! They don’t care about us just $$$$$$$ for them. Disgusting 🤢
And we wonder why mind altering incidents are so prevalent ✌️
The only real macaroni, pasta & spaghetti are from Italy only. The package must be 100% written in Italian and a kilo not a pound, the use they use American durum wheat, from states like California & Arizona. So if they say made in Italy it’s made with American ingredients. It’s hard enough finding real Italian products outside of NY & NJ, I won’t even complain about finding real mozzarella.
Just name the 2 things that wont kill us! Be alot easier
Show the package of the pasta recomended!!! You keep putting the same no good pasta product on screen.
Which are the good pastas??? This video is a scam
Bill Gates loves you!❤💀
Where does DeCecco stand? I can make my own but that’s the only brand I regularly buy. May just start making it all myself. I get Durham organic wheat from Italy
Legalized genocide. Creepy, crafty poisoning to the masses. Prey on the poor .
Keep us weak and sick and we are easy to take over.
Shame on these companies.
Whenever I eat bread, or pasta it takes weeks for my digestive system to normalize. Sad…
With money being no object what specific brands do you purchase an/or recommend – I’d appreciate your input so that I purchase what’s in the best interest of my family – By the way excellent Post and of course I became an instant subscriber and gave 👍 – Thanks a million for exposing the truth

Actually, American wheat IS BAD!!!
Really? You couldn't just list the quality ones at the end? This video is a lot of wordiness and I still am not sure which ones are best to buy other than pasta labeled organic. I guess that's what could've been said at the start!
I wonder about Rao
Yes thank you
I’d like to know what sources he uses in his research.
Every day there are hundreds of recalls on food🤷♀️ what the heck is going on? What’s the FDA doing?
Fda, you are not working for America people safety 😮😮😮
Give the list please
We need to put these companies out of business by boycotting them. They didn't care about our health or safety they don't deserve to be in business.
I am going to start making my own pasta!
Please include Texas owned by the Butt family HEB in your studies especially their 'Organics' brand including their Organic vegetables. Are they truly organic? Thank you! Please stay safe. 🙏❤

I would never buy that crap! All the big brands are prob bad. Buy the smaller brands organic
Didn't talk about my pasta healthy harvest good or bad?
If it’s true that the chemicals in these pasta brands fly just under the radar (maintaining limits) established by FDA/Government, then citizens need to push for another cleansing! Let’s DOGED this food regulating organization . . . Put them under investigation! It is our health after-all, a health safety matter!
Are these contaminated pasta brands showing up in other countries? People want to know!
Is it just our country , or is this happening worldwide in our pasta regions? 😊
Where are the references to this important evidence? Care to share?
Why wouldn’t we care? Vigilance is a good thing! Think about it. . . If these claims are true, these chemical manipulation methods injected into Americans food supply should be condemned ! What an outrage! What if this was chemical war fare on a lower level, disguised as food?? Americans would slowly be contaminated, die; rot from within; and turn to diseased mush ! A slow death of rotting internal pain. . . What better way for an enemy than to slip toxic chemicals into our foods- slowly destroying certain areas of civilization! Very alarming considering Our Govy seems to be asleep at the wheel these past 4 years! Why not embrace MAHA?
This is scary stuff- You just named the majority of pasta brands in the USA!! 😮
If Italians won’t put up with these contaminated pasta brands, then why should we?
It’s corruption and Satanic
An unsurprising pattern emerges where Republican administrations have generally pursued policies, such as proposed budget cuts and deregulation, that food safety experts argue would weaken quality assurance of food products, in contrast to Democratic administrations which have tended to advocate for increased funding and regulation.
Republican administrations have often aimed to reduce government spending and regulation, which has manifested in food safety policy.
Proposed Budget and Staff Cuts: The current Trump administration has implemented significant staff cuts to the FDA and USDA, leading to a historic low in foreign food facility inspections and suspension of certain quality-control programs for dairy and other products. The previous Trump administration also proposed large cuts that were largely rejected by Congress.
"User Fee" Proposals: Both George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush administrations proposed shifting inspection costs to the industry via user fees, which Congress consistently rejected over conflict-of-interest concerns.
Deregulation and Prioritization: A general anti-regulatory stance has been noted, which has sometimes led to fewer warning letters issued to companies and an emphasis on "risk-based" inspections rather than comprehensive ones, potentially reducing overall oversight.
Democratic administrations have generally prioritized increasing funding for food safety initiatives and implementing new regulations:
Increased Funding and Regulations:
The Obama administration implemented significant food safety updates, including the "test and hold" policy for contaminated products and the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), which increased the FDA's power to order recalls.
Support for Agency Authority: Democrats on congressional subcommittees often support increasing funding for the FDA's food product oversight, while Republicans sometimes argue the agency should do more with existing authority without adding to the budget.
While food safety is often considered an area of common ground regardless of party affiliation, the approach to achieving it—through robust government regulation versus reduced government spending and oversight—differs significantly along party lines.
Everything you see is a lie
No food producer cares about Americans health they will poison us for profit.
Aldi has a few safe foods..but now their selling alot of BIOENGINEERING fruits & cheeses 😢..please be aware…
Close the FDA down! They don't do their job . They are the world's biggest drug dealer and do Not have the safety of the people in mind.
There is nothing good in the food they are selling in America. All is slowly poisoning consumers..
I'm a '50s boomer and Muellers has been a family staple my whole life, especially their spaghetti and extra wide noodles (which I have a ton of in my pantry). Occasionally, I've purchased Creamette macaroni and Barilla angel hair and fettuccini . I've purchased small batch packages of what appears to be homemade pasta from the Meijer(MI) grocery store brand Frederik's.O>M>G!
Just another way to tax the fuck out of us
How do we confidently take this information from the poster? I like to do my own research and not just be on the bandwagon of what people do and making videos and posting and I don’t even know who they are.
