They had food and safety regulations?

Beef must contain at least 35% beef to be called beef in the states. That is the level of regulations they had, so now? Does beef need any cow?

Your beef can legally contain mostly not beef?

I suppose they have regulations for the safety of manufacturers from consumers.

I've avoided all food from America for more than a decade.

Genuinely can't think of anything we eat that comes from there. It's too far for anything fresh and too expensive for anything cheap.

And do not be mistaken, the US wants this for Europe too. They want a few rich people to dictate everything world wide.

Eat our chlorine chicken!

Fuck. That. Shit.

Europe is already moving in wrong directions here and there (hello chat control) so we gotta be enormously careful that they won't bend the knee on anything else

Europeans need to hold these corrupt politicians in the positions of power accountable.

I am consistently shocked how much higher quality the food is in France and The NL when I visit; even the sloppy mall restaurants were higher quality. Paris was off the charts. The worst quality food we had there was above average for here.

No one wants to visit that fascist state anymore.

I mean...the UK doesn't have much room to talk either...

Their goods were appealing?
