America is such a funny place. From the outside it looks amazing and advanced and all techy and freedom and stuff but every time you learn something about it you realize it's really a lipstick covered dead rotten pig.
I’m American and I moved to Germany a few years ago. The first time I went to a bathroom at my university with a soap grater, I laughed at it because it was so bizarrely old fashioned. Then I realized that the university I went to in the US had automatic soap dispensers that jammed up on a regular basis, and the soap graters were probably 50 years older than the dispensers and still worked perfectly.
That’s a good metaphor for my life in the US compared to Germany, I think. I don’t have a car or a microwave, but I don’t need them and actually live better without them. I don’t have a freezer, which sucks, but I do probably eat better because of it. I have two less fancy and worse paying jobs that activate my brain and body better and afford more in fewer hours than my one job in the US.
I don't think it looks amazing from the outside either.
Biden was full out reclassifying salmonella as an adulterant.
That means if there is salmonella it has to be recalled.
Just soak it in bleach, it'll be fine.
Yum!
That's why Europe does not want American chicken.

I like Costco as a business (at least as much as one can like any business) but I refuse to buy their chicken. I've never opened a package of it that wasn't covered in pink slime and had an odor.
Hmm, that might be a bad sign for your area. I've gone to costco in different states and countries, and the chicken was always fine. I believe different regions get different suppliers. I've even noticed variations between multiple Costcos in a city.
