“So... We got the exploding diarrhea. Here's my advice for anyone who doesn't have it yet:

It's going to take a minute for the government to pin down where this is coming from, and then issue a recall, because the FDA has been gutted. But, I can tell you, without a shadow of a doubt : this is coming from Taylor Farms produce, and you will see them recalled.

You'll want to avoid all Taylor Farms produce in the grocery store. They supply McDonalds, KFC, Pizza Hut, about any fast food place you can think of.

Raspberries, watermelons, cilantro, and the veggies you're hearing about are not causing this many people to get sick. It's the shredded lettuce, specifically, that's the problem. But, you'll want to stay away from every type of produce this company puts out, because one strand of shredded lettuce is all it takes to contaminate bushels.

Taylor Farms is the source. Taco Bell proactively pulled their produce from their restaurants. You're going to see other fast food places doing this, and probably will see that before the government names a source. The FDA knows this, but they can't come out and tell us all until there's proof, which takes resources and research, which takes manpower, but the FDA has been cut by about 20-30%

During the Biden term, onions at McDonald's had ecoli. We knew this because DNA testing was done quickly and they were able to narrow it down to one place that caused the outbreak. And, it was traced back to Taylor Farms. This isn't going to be solved as quickly though.

When you get this, make a virtual appointment to your PCP - a "same day sick" appointment. Tell them someone in your family just tested for this and was positive and was prescribed Bactrim. If you go in person, they're probably going to make you poop in a cup and wait until results come back to prescribe.

You'll know when you get this. Trust me on all of this.

You'll want to stay hydrated because this parasite damages the lining of the small intestine. Your small intestine, in turn, secretes more water into the gut, and less nutrients and liquid are able to remain in the body. So no matter how much you shit, you're going to want to drink. A day of this leads to dehydration if you don't increase your fluid intake, and a few days will land you in the hospital.

If you have headaches, weakness, muscle cramps, dizziness, or an increase heart rate - hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. Go to the ER for fluids if you can't drink enough.

Thank you for coming to my Ted talk. Brought to you by America's 250 birthday celebrations, workforce reduction in the FDA and CDC, and viewers like you.

Please feel free to share this.

And, MAGA - don't blow up the comment section. I argued with y'all on COVID bc I was afraid y'all would die, but I really don't care if you get explosive diarrhea.

you can use their product locator to find their stuff

also, they do store brand bagged salads and the salads for trader joes, target, walmart, aldi, and kroger.

costco sells them, but only as taylor farms (not as the house brand or a private label)

they also do starbucks salads.

they perform as well as expensive HEPA air cleaners, and are comparatively VERY inexpensive. all you need is a box fan, 4 air filters, a piece of cardboard, and some duct tape!!!!

He should have been trying to convince Rapunzel's parents into letting him marry her (Not just trying to convince Rapunzel to marry him). Imagine if after his first proposal attempt, King Fredrick takes Eugene aside and tells him a harsh truth

"You know, Eugene I am eternally grateful that you brought my daughter home, and for that I will make sure you live out the rest of your days in comfort. I also know that she cares deeply for you in return, which is why I have allowed you to move into the castle and be close to her, er, ah, for the time being. But please understand, in the long run, the grand scheme of things, you cannot marry her.

Our family is Royalty. Marriage is not just about love, it's about business. I am in no hurry to have her married off to anyone in the foreseeable future, but when that day eventually comes, her husband must be someone who can offer something to the crown. He would be a prince, a lord, a knight, even a wealthy upstart, Someone respected in Coronan high society. You, Eugene, as good a man as I believe you to be, don't have anything to offer the royal family. I'm sorry but you should get these notions of marrying Rapunzel out of your head, and just enjoy the time you have with her now while it lasts."

Eugene doesn't tell anyone that Fredrik told him this. After all, Rapunzel just turned him down, what use is it to tell her that he wasn't able to convince her dad to let them marry if he can't even convince her yet. Not to mention that she's already pretty mad at her father's controlling attitude. He doesn't want to make things worse by telling her about something planned for her way down the line, that he fully intends to prevent anyway. Instead he comes up with plans of his own to change the Royal family's mind and prove that he IS the perfect husband for Rapunzel.

Not a ton would change throughout the show, except that Eugene now has a goal he's consistently and actively perusing instead of every now and then he brings up "Maybe NOW she's ready to say yes to me"

He tries to come up with multiple schemes to impress the king to get him to change his mind.

Implant the idea around high society folk, (The people the king takes seriously) that he's a great catch so that he can get people on team "Let Eugene marry Rapunzel"

Cassandra has already figured out the king would likely try to push Raps into finding a more respectable match someday and that's another point of contention between them. She throws it in his face.

When they leave the kingdom in season 2, Eugene thinks that maybe they can bypass the King's future plans by eloping when he's not around.

Of course there would have to be an episode where Rapunzel has a debutant ball that announces to all eligible young "Respectable" men throughout the land that she's officially an eligible Lady and Eugene is determined to sabotage it.

It starts with King Fredrick telling her that she'll be going to this ball to meet with eligible young nobles from across the land.

"Now don't let anyone pressure you into doing anything you're not comfortable with. You set the pace for how fast you'd like to go. At the same time, remember to always be polite, say yes to as many people who ask you to dance as possible, and if you meet anyone who seems interesting, remember their names so that we may arrange get togethers with them in the future."

Raps doesn't put together that the point of this ball is to let young high society folk mingle with each other for the purposes of them choosing a match among eligible candidates their parents would approve of. Why would she think of that? Her father knows she already has a boyfriend and it hasn't been spelled out to her yet that she's not aloud to marry a commoner like Eugene. So she assumes this ball is about making friends.

Eugene on the other hand, as soon as he hears of this, calls in their ruffian friends from the tavern to help him carry out a plan to sabotage this ball so that Raps doesn't find anyone new and dump him.

Cass initially makes fun of Eugene for this and then gets a bit more serious when she tries to explain to him that maybe this will be good for Rapunzel. If you love someone you should let them go and if it's meant to be, they'll come back to you, right?

UNTIL her captain of the guard father tells her that he pulled some strings and now SHE'S going to the debutant ball as an eligible maiden too. It'll be good for her to get out and meet some nice gentlemen.

COMPLETE 180. Cassandra can't think of a worse weekend than to be hit on by a parade of smarmy, upper crust guys. This ball must be stopped at all costs and she joins Eugene's mission to do it.

They carry out various schemes that stop most of the gentlemen from arriving. They have a list of names, and where they'll be coming from. They split up and work fast. Send them to the wrong location, dismantle carriages. In one instance they set a prince up to meet with a lovely poor maid before he gets to the ball and they fall in love at first sight.

It's like how I can characterize Lex as a villain motivated by selfish ambition, Or for Ivo it was about his entitlement and rage over finally getting consequences for his actions, Or for Brainiac it was about establishing his order above everything and following his program as a war machine.
