so much for not inflammatory!
There are, as usual, several agendas going on. The USA tries to use
the WTO to force Europeans to take all their crap. Europe is about
standards, including stuff like food contents, and the standards for
Europe do not include a lot of the crap that the US food conglomerates
feed to you unfortunates. Perhaps there is some protectionism going
on, but the USA is really not in any position to point the finger at
others in that regard.
But it is certainly true that American meat tends to be more stuffed
full of that sort of crap than ours - the figures are in the public
domain. I have personally seen the effects of this on a friend of mine
who came back from a year in the USA considerably hairier ('down
South') than she was before she left!
The important thing though is consumer education and awareness and
forcing the producers and retailers to label things correctly and
openly. Standards have improved enormously over here in recent years,
and more and more crap is being removed from our food all the time.
I've been buying organic food since the early 1980s - you used to have
to struggle to get it, going to out-of-the-way shops run by beardies
and hippies, and paying a real premium price for it. Nowadays it is
readily available on every high street and significantly cheaper than
it used to be (although still more expensive than the crap).
