A few years ago, when the UK was proposing a trade deal with the US, one of the biggest concerns being passed was around the shockingly low standards for US meat, particularly chlorinated chicken.
Some of what we were told was absolutely shocking, and it amazes me that the US are happy with these standards in their food. Any notion of lowering these standards is absolutely insane to me.
We can’t be unhappy about standards we don’t know about.
Big Ag works incredibly hard to prevent people from knowing the shitty things that happen to put American food in the stores. Even if some of it is brought to light, it isn’t widely presented, or most Americans don’t know to look for it. Then of course there is Profit Is God, and some may just say whatever it takes to make the billionaires happy is fine, they haven’t personally suffered any ill effects from the food.
