And enough regulation that we can eat fruits and veggies without fear of explosive diarrhea. And the capacity to afford said fruits and vegetables.

Unpopular, but truth: The company in question also had issues under Obama, did not donate, and did also not receive significant punishments then. And you’re gonna hate this even worse: Outbreaks like this happen. They have and will. And our food system is safer than it was decades and decades ago. Just because it is much safer doesn’t mean things like this won’t happen - they will.
That said, we can always continue to work to make things safer.
But this outbreak is not an indication that the system is overall broken in any way whatsoever.
It’s like expecting fender benders to not happen. And people die in auto accidents. We accept that risk as a part of driving, and we understand that safety improvements over the years have made accidents more survivable. And yet we drive, take that risk, and know that it could be worse.
Similar with food. It is, overall, very safe. But these things will happen. And yes, we should continually improve safety.

While what you say is true it is also true that this administration is a train wreck, talks often of deregulation, and gives no fucks about working class citizens.
It’s difficult to trust in coincidence with these self serving leeches.
