The meme references quality, which is directly impacted by whether the food is rotten, full of lead, moldy, fermented, dry/squishy, worms/bugs, etc, and that is enforced by testing for quality control and issuing various consequences.

Sure. Also plenty of other things that have little to do with safety, as such, and more to do with them being generally nutritious, tasty, fresh vs processed, etc.

Ad populum is a fallacy btw. It’s okay to have original thoughts 🌈

Agreed. Not sure how this is relevant here, though.

While you’re looking up fallacies, red herring is a good one that this particular comment chain has made me think about.

You are the first in this post (including OP) to mention food safety, which you appear to have done randomly.

Can you read two paragraphs

Yup. I did this before commenting.

understand how the “quality of food” part of the meme connects to this?

Nope. Are the grocery stores the insurance companies? the doctors? Maybe the food producers are? Are they denying us… quality?

You lost?
