Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

You said you view the USA's regulatory standards as the USA views Nigeria's but the USA enforces a full ingredient list so that's kind of nonsensical. If a can of tomatoes went from the USA to EU there would likely be no issue. Even the more chemical sounding names like "Calcium Chloride" salt are commonplace in the EU, in fact I think it was developed there.
I think regulations are better in the EU but you chose a really shit example to use.
But it wasn't just about ingredient lists but food standards and I literally did not use ANY example at all. Please stop the straw manning.
Maybe read the comment & quote I was replying to before you start with the ad hominem projections, because I did not drop a top level comment that contextualized the thread itself but a comment within it. If you weren't what you accuse me of, then you would understand that, just like literally everyone else did. Otherwise, by your "dumb mf" logic, you could apply the same shit to your own replies towards me and then start to wonder what the fuck you are talking about, when the topic is about the ingredient list of tomato puree.
