Why he ate it with the bag? Should’ve rip the bag first then eat it like a civilized person
Fun fact, those are not labeled do not eat because they are toxic, but because they are choking hazards.
Why don’t they say open before eating then? What a waste.
And because they often are included in food products, and there’s a fair amount of regulation around mixing non-food with food.
Ah, regulation of food…soon, that will be the good old days in the US.
Given the outbreaks we’ve had recently, we’re getting pretty close already.
We’ll get Kinder eggs and all it will cost us is sawdust in all our food
Saw dust is already in our food, it is that white stuff on shredded cheese used to keep it from sticking, it’s also used in snack foods, frozen dinners, protein bars, ice cream, processed meat…
And lead in the pph.
Judging by the backlash I saw online on that butter recall because of the missing “contains milk” statement, it seems like few will miss the regulations.
In the long run, looser regulations could prove to be a Darwinian solution to most current issues.
It’s a mistake to imagine most regulation is just brainless nonsense. It would be like imagining the entire legal industry is composed of burglars suing home owners because they slipped in the kitchen whilst robbing the house and concluding we could easily do away with it.
Looser regulations is incredibly unlikely to effect only or even mostly the stupid or even only or even mostly the poor. Firstly the primary food supply for rich and poor right up to the 1% generally comes from the same ultimate sources the rich just A) mix some more expensive stuff in B) have people who fetch and prepare the food for them.
Also people are incredibly laughably bad at enacting food safety by voting with their feet even when a particular restaurant is making people sick. Oftentimes the actual sickness may take days to manifest and may not be connected obviously with the ultimate source. Now that is for things that at least directly sicken people. Things that are merely unhealthy may have an ultimate effect that is only visible at the population level where you see significantly more people get cancer in the next 10 to 20 years.
A lot of good, smart people can’t afford to eat food they know for sure is safe. Hell, in food deserts it wouldn’t matter much either way.
Am from deep in WV and I’ve known many people who lived on dollar store food. No car, nearest grocery store is 40 miles away.
It’s a sad place.
Jesus Christ, that’s insane. I mean I would have thought maybe even fast food…at least the dollar store has some cereals and stuff but those aren’t much of a solution.
I like your thinking sir perhaps a darwinian solution is precisely what our country needs right now.
I feel like the right wing uses Darwin as an excuse for their chosen genocides rather than an explanation for why they die of intentionally getting diseases or eating toxic substances a guy on tiktok told them to.
What kind of food are you eating that is packaged alongside silica gel?
I have seen in in dried foods like beef jerky or seaweed.
Ok guys, seriosuly no offence, but are you all from the states? I don’t want to do the usual US bashing, but I’ve never seriously seen silica gel in any kind of food, and especially in oral medicines that are individually packaged in protective atmosphere. So I feel like like it’s a cultural difference
Seen it many times in Europe (Czech Republic) and now in Japan in some packages.
Lemmy is probably primarily US like Reddit. (US here.)
I can imagine silica being in a medicine bottle. After you break the seal, you’ll put the lid back on and the medicine should stay dry. I’m uncertain whether I’ve ever actually seen that, though.
Or anything freeze dried!
Foods that are ruined by ambient humidity, that’s what kind.
It’s included in bottles of oral medication as well.
There’s some that have coloration to them to show when they’re used up. Those can be toxic.
How do you know, have you tried them?

That’s crazy, I had no idea. I’d be careful saying things like that though. They might not like other people knowing.
This is probably what trumpers think is happening every time he says fake news.
“Ha, I knew Trump being president twice couldn’t possibly be real!”
“No, that would be crazy! In the real world His Magnificence has been emperor since 2001.”
I ate one of those accidentally one day. I did not escape the simulation though.
Misinformation!
You gotta take a whole-body screenshot right after
Swallow gel packet -> get spitroasted -> blink twice should work
Something something prostate/spot and gag reflex
This is clearly a silica gel shill. Do not listen to the propaganda.
You needed to also recite the incantation.
Ravioli Ravioli let me leave the simuoli
Did you do a backflip and a three-quarters heel-turn right after? That worked for me.
The comic should be considered as professional medical advice.
Are you trying to summon RFK Jr.?!?!?!
And spiritual advice
Silica Gel Pilled
One of my favorite chubbyemu videos.
Didn’t know they put LSD in those.
