You're basically making @citrin_ru's point - "nation of germophobes", not "potential damage to livestock".


I'm not making their point by telling you that you're incorrect in saying that "processed food = no potential disease transmissibility".


Nobody is arguing that it's impossible to get sick from bologna.

However, bologna is not a vector for african swine fever or foot-and-mouth disease or (as far as I can tell) any other threat to US livestock.

Thus "bullshit". Re-read the thread.


You said "Given how heavily processed bologna is, I'm going to call bullshit on that" in response to someone who said "the Department of Agriculture is the agency that prohibits this, for reasons related to potential damage to US livestock - African swine fever and foot-and-mouth disease are specifically mentioned."

Why would you say that instead of "bologna is not a vector for african swine fever or foot-and-mouth disease"? What does how heavily processed the bologna have to do with your point, and why did you bring it up if it has nothing to do with it? That's literally the only thing I argued against.


really into this thread now.

what does bologna being heavily processed have to do with "bullshit" though?
