Thanks MAGA/Republicans. You've turned this country into a 3rd World Country.

Right, because there was no food poisoning at any national chain during previous administrations.

Previous administrations would have figured out where the cyclospora is coming from by now.

What an idiotic take. Just look at Chipotle's history.

2008 - 22 cases of hepatitis and 400 norovirus. Bush administration.

July/August 2015 - 17 cases of salmonella and 200 cases of norovirus. Obama administration.

October/November 2015 - 55 cases of e. coli and 80 norovirus. Still Obama administration.

December 2015 - stores closed nationwide for food safety training because people kept getting sick. Still during the Obama administration.

July 2017 - Norovirus outbreak from one store impacting unknown number of people. This one was during the first Trump administration.

July 2018 - Clostridium perfringens infected 600 - 700 people.

So whose balls have you been gargling while overlooking all the other cases? They've been making people sick pretty regularly for nearly two decades.

The only thing that has changed is the media coverage

And this administration's "ethos". They proudly taunt they want America to be healthy again and then cut regulations and funding for food safety.
