In a fact sheet posted online Thursday, the campaign highlighted a number of "specific regulations to be eliminated" under the GOP nominee's economic plan, including what they called the "FDA Food Police."
“The FDA Food Police, which dictate how the federal government expects farmers to produce fruits and vegetables and even dictates the nutritional content of dog food,” it read.
“The rules govern the soil farmers use, farm and food production hygiene, food packaging, food temperatures and even what animals may roam which fields and when,” the statement continued. "It also greatly increased inspections of food 'facilities,' and levies new taxes to pay for this inspection overkill."
Yeah, because expecting that the government assure that the food Americans eat is safe is way to much to ask, according to Trump.
This guy is worse than you can imagine, even taking into account that he's worse than you can imagine.
Just give up, grow your own food. Who needs that pesky government sticking its nose into how clean and safe food is, and keeping stuff like salmonella from the food supply. What? You say you don't own a farm? You don't know how to raise and butcher your own meat? Bummer.
ETA: But, hey, the money from getting rid of the "food police" can go towards building that wonderful wall. Nobody will get in, and everyone who is in already will be able to safely eat whatever they want. Right?

Reason: add
Once you see a factory farm after growing up in an agricultural area, it will just make you sick to see such a thing. If you see food production in a factory............ While ignorance is bliss, it gives one nothing to work with.
A family farms poultry killing operation in WV tests at 2000 PPM bacterial count, they are swat raided by the feds, while over on the Delmarva, Perdue tests out at 35000PPM, and the inspectors get reassigned. Hopefully this is what Trump is wishing to deal with.
You liberals sanctimoniously tout you desire for safe food? great right now you only are required to produce safe food if you are middle class.

So a good solution would be to relax the regulations?
Only in Trump Bizzaro World would that make any sense.

It is concerning how he wants to relax regulations for food safety and the environment.
