@larand Real story: when I first moved to California, and my first summer away from home (summer job), I kept on getting sick -- nothing really serious, but several times -- and finally, I realized I had been eating moldy bread (penicillin spores!).

It turns out, at home (growing up in the deserts of Utah), you don't have to refrigerate bread, EVER... eventually it just gets too dry and you toss it. It never molds.

But, in California (at least in Silicon Valley), it was humid enough to mold quickly if you didn't put it in the fridge. I managed to give myself two weeks of dosing myself with penicillin before figuring that out!!!

@MissGayle IMO in 4th world country Czech Republic, EU🇪🇺, onions are practically unavailable. Majority of them is moldy (incl. between the peels something which looks like Aspergillus niger) or rotten, I don't want to risk cancer from mold toxins like aflatoxin, ochratoxin. In 3rd world developing dictatorship Cambodia the situation was the same except spring onions were not rotten.

I already sent 2 complaints to the Czech state food quality inspectorate. They wrote they went to both supermarkets and in #1 the amount of moldy and rotten pieces was within EU🇪🇺 standards (IMO EU🇪🇺 standards for feeding people with carcinogenic decomposing compost), which I disagree with. In #2 they said they didn't find the problem (rotten spring onion) but they found unrelated decomposing pumpkins for which they "initiated official misdemeanor procedure" or something like that, but didn't write whether they actually fined the seller.

There is no way to actually submit photographs as evidence, they always go there and do their own official sample, so IMO it's like playing an ineffective whackamole with rotten onions.

The difference to Cambodia is that there, sole proprietorships pay 0% taxes below $62 500 revenue per year and 2.73% in the next tier.

I am fine if a state says "pay less taxes, we won't check quality of vegetables, you have to haggle it yourself using market mechanisms".

But to pay developed country taxes and get developing country food quality, in that case I feel

s t r o n g c o n t e m p t

towards the Czech regime.

Recently I managed to find 1 good onion in the supermarket so I hope in the future luck will smile at me again and I won't live in malnutrition in an allegedly developed country.

Which of these garlics offered in ▇▇▇▇▇, a large common supermarket chain in Prague are dangerous for health (carcinogenic mold) or unusable in the kitchen? This was shot at the same time and I find the percentage of apparently faulty vegetable alarming.

I would tell the perpetrator if the laws of Czech Republic weren't IMO authoritarian and didn't help perpetrators of abuse to avoid responsibility and to prevent rightful criticism by chilling effect of threat of libel lawfare from the supermarket with financially draining and bankrupting legal costs (SLAPP) and also allowing the supermarkets ban photographing and prevent people caught photographing from shopping, which IMO can have the same effect on the rightfully criticizing consumer as the food blockade in Gaza: starvation.

I feel
e x t r e m e l y s t r o n g c o n t e m p t
towards the Czech state when the situation around freedom of speech is like this.

Seems like I spend a lot of my time at home encouraging the (yum!) fermented stuff - #kefir #kombucha #pickled stuff - and discouraging the (yuk!) #moldy stuff. #Mildew be gone!
Why you can salvage moldy cheese but never spoiled meat − a toxicologist advises on what to watch out for

Molds and bacteria can produce dangerous toxins − and they don’t taste very good, either.

Moldy – Kiki Thaerigen

Heh... writing in The Times while eating Iranian #Caviar on a bit and drinking French #champagne
After the second recession in Spain that took place in 2010 during real estate bubble and collapse, I have had to eat #Moldy and #Rotten #Food
If your #Food has worms and u are #Hungry enough, u remove the worms and then u eat it.
Ifu can't remove the worms, you look the other way and eat it. Being hungry is one of the worst things there is
