Maybe try reading your own link?
Drama Queen gotta keep up his rep.
The article suggests this is the way it was going anyway. So?

Um, no it doesn’t suggest that.
(no message)
Sorry. It explicitly states that. My mistake.
(no message)
No, it suggests the that there is a backlog of work and they are forced to allow states to
do lesser inspections. Oh, in fact the article is explicit in that.
Every day there is more faux outrage from the left.
It's Trump's fault!!!!
Seems like Trump is trying to address a multi-decade issue.

Only because the FDA was underfunded. Food inspections are a public good.

Did you even read the article?
It says the states can do domestic food inspections more effectively and efficiently, allowing the FDA to focus more on food from foreign sources. A lot of our issues come from foreign sourced foods.
Per the linked GAO report, it sounds like they weren't doing a great job, so let's try something different.

Just bullshit. Big Agra wants no inspections.
Want to know why beef and pork are generally safe and chicken often has salmonella? The FDA monitors the former, and the chicken industry has lobbied to keep them away from the latter.
Food-borne illness will increase now. You’ll see.
Well, there's some ignorance.
There's a reason you can eat steaks rare but not pork (e coli) or chicken (salmonella) that has nothing to do with FDA inspections.
You're 100% wrong.

Go ahead and order a rare chicken breast then, you fool.

I don’t disagree with you on this. It’s why Canada has tariffs on our beef/milk.
And the states that are reliant on the big ag jobs won’t push back.
But I don’t think big ag is being inspected well now anyway, so this won’t address that issue.

Sure are & the proposal is to shift the inspecting to the states. Small farms
Should benefit from that.
It’s reckless.
Cowards. Every damn one of them.
If he ignores the Supreme Court he should be impeached. Before it is too late.
Because soon it will be.

This is not an idea, ignorant. This is how it already works in practice most of the time, i.e.
outsourced the oversight to state and local authorities. Read your own report. States want to do food safty inspections and the cost of doing it is less than the FDA does while meeting the same standards.
The linked article also noted the following...
"In theory, relying on states to do more routine food inspection work could lead to better food safety," said Thomas Gremillion, director of food policy at the Consumer Federation of America, in an email to CBS News.
Gremillion cautioned that a transition in how food inspections are done by the FDA would take significant time and resources.
"So far, this Administration has acted with reckless disregard for how its policies will affect the detection and prevention of foodborne illness, and any plans to replace federal food inspectors with some other workforce deserves suspicion," he said.

Literally ANYTHING Trump touches, deserves "Suspicion"...and Concern.
Fucking w/the food supply complements the destruction of public health care.
