Since Taylor does a lot of white label bagged produce, store brands have TF (and then a big long code) printed on the bag, up by the use by date. But not all bagged produce is coming through TF. Fresh Express is owned by Dole, and has not had the problem. And Gotham Greens & Kalera are still safe.
18 years ago today amazing doctors stopped my heart, did a 6-way bypass on me, and started my heart back up. A month later I was back working in the firehouse. My family calls it my “Re-Birthday” So glad to still be here with them and with you all. And so thankful for brilliant people.
I believe there is no greater generational constant in USA than the high profile snake oil salesman. I bet historians can document trajectory changes in USA purely based on phenomena & gold rushes engineered by snake oil salesmen. ‘I invented a genie’ guy may be their crowning achievement though.

'Fricking' Ridiculous Eating Device It combines a can opener, bottle opener and spoon... badly.
Finally, we want to realize that while 'modest increase in child mortality due to declining nutrition over long periods' is a very bloodless phrase, what we're talking about here - hard winters, lost children, dashed hopes for the future - is the very stuff of deep human misery.
Honestly, a real problem with a lot of 'collapse' revisionism for both LBAC and the later Roman Empire. You get a lot of fancy academic rhetorical footwork and sure, there are things of value in the periods that followed, but, like, aggregate population declines are generally not fun.
Nathan Goldwag*Trojan historian watching as the Achaeans break down the gates* Wow, my civilization is undergoing a complex transformation from a heavily centralized and stratified administrative society to a more socially-fragmented modality of living in which material culture is dispersed amidst smaller sites.
