It may be shocking that American food can get any worse considering they’re 50% corn syrup and 50% microplastics but somehow American corporations found a way, soon they’ll probrally start adding sawdust to bread like they used to before the FDA
Joke’s on us. Remember the ‘great deal’ for 15% tariffs? Guess what was included in that. Yep: Better access to the EU market for US agricultire products and the axing of what they call “unfair” trade barriers. Which includes among others plant-health measures, health regulations, vehicle safety regulations and more generally easier mutual recognition of assessments of conformity.
Eating food is now a lottery in the US. The EU and UK abhor the idea of needing to wash chickens in bleach. Standards are ready so poor that this isn’t sufficient to keep people safe. [Edited, managed to type “for lunch” instead of “in bleach”. One handed typing on train excuse]
Wash chickens lunch?
My typo, corrected now. One-handed typing on a train does not always work well.
The worry is that your family will go to the US and eat something awful and become maimed.
Yeah the US sucks but it’s always funny to me when y’all on TERF island try to act morally superior as if Brits aren’t responsible for colonizing this place and the rest of the world, creating Israel etc. calm the fuck down with this bullshit moral superiority.
Also reform just won so you’re totally fucked too.
The working class of Britain aren’t responsible for the crimes of the ruling capitalist class or it’s captive government.
Is it wrong for them to be proud of their hard won food standards?
Also reform just won so you’re totally fucked too.
Reform won what?
UK going full Nazi
Eh, next election is most likely in 2029. I won’t say the poll is meaningless, but a lot can happen in four years and election polls years out from an actual election are rarely ever even close to the actual result.
The brits are fuckhead about a lot of things but I think their farmer lobby is a bit less powerful there since they import all their food anyway (nobody grows on their god forgotten island). The US is an agrarian powerhouse so it makes sense their lobbies are more powerful.
Look at the french, the’re colonisers but food isn’t something they joke about. If they were forced to eat what you guys calls cheese they would start beheading real quick.
Oh yeah for sure but the reason the US exists is still their fault.
not sure if the brits keeping their empire would have been any better lmao
No my point was that the US is their fault.
Yes I got that. Fair. On the other hand, at the time, they were doing it to annoy the british king. Which is also fair.
Imagine still using a damn king like it’s middle age.

I mean the EU will legalise some new PFAS next week
Tin Foil Hat time: So what the gov/corps wants to do is make those people who cook their own food become sick/distrustful of safe food so they buy the heavily processed premade products from the tobbacco…I mean FOOD companies filled with all their artificial ingredients that hook you into a junk food addiction downward spiral.
…now that I say (write) that out loud (virtually) it doesn’t sound that far fetched
Wait why would premade foods be better than making your own
They’re not, highly processed foods are made with 'addictive chemical’s. This is what the tobacco companies saw in the food market and why the bought up all the food processing companies.
So if real food is bad you’re going to get the ‘safer’ product.
Americans have a weird idea that fast food isn’t just mostly the same ingredients you see in a store + sugar and preservatives and that by cooking you somehow elevate the ingredients to a higher quality.
There is research showing that processed foods are worse for you, even if the exact mechanism isn’t clear. Plus there are more opportunities for various contamination, a lot of the recalls you see for dangerous pathogens seem to be premade food products. Although yeah, fast food would also have that problem.
Almost all foods are processed and most are some degree of premade. You better hope so too, because “processing” gets rid of like the insanely high risk of contamination that food has in nature. Eating meat of a deer carrying some virus or bacteria or simply being poisoned by fungi affecting some plant was how non-agricultural humans died a lot, and it’s only once we started processing everything, like e.g. ultra heat-treated & pasteurized milk that food quality improved.
Red wine in canada was so full of sulfite that it tasted all acid and shitty
No one wants to visit that fascist state anymore.
