I remember going around an American supermarket and was surprised that there was no wine/beer aisle like in the UK but there were aisles for sweets/candies. I recall seeing a huge bucket filled with a Galaxy Minstrels like sweet and it was labelled 'low fat snack'

My Dad took my eldest brother and I to the USA on holiday nearly 30 years ago. My eldest brother and I are both vegetarian and had been since years before that holiday (which made it quite difficult to find things to eat, as we were travelling around and not staying in places that we were able to prepare our own meals) but we were all (including my meat eating but vegetable loving Dad) left feeling as though the flavour was grown out of all the fruit and veg…maybe that’s why a lot of Americans seems to have borderline addictions to ketchups and hot sauces.

Carrots were originally purple in colour. Before the 16th-17th century, almost all cultivated carrots were purple,

@@johnnosiennek7066 This is very true - I had a medley of heritage carrots with my dinner on Sunday: purple, white, yellow and black ☺. We can't blame the US for the orange ones, though, that was all down to the Dutch honouring their royal family. All carrots are good, though.

when i was a child my neighbourg were growing tomato "heart of beef" because of there size. they were awesome and organic ofc. while I understand your comment, there are also a lots of natural varieties put aside because they don't fit our production goal. the nature is already rich is various way.

Exactly - Scotland has whole salmon farms - it's one of it's key exports, along with whisky and sheepy products

True and its actually harming wildlife salmon

Norway has both salmon and trout farms. A bunch of them in the fjords. They use cleaner fish to rid them of their parasites which is pretty genius imo. No need for chemicals :D

Yeah, if you have a "very prolific youtuber" it usually means quantity over quality.

@@josefine7095 Same in the Faroe Islands and the Faroese owned salmon farms in Scotland. No antibiotics or hormones used at all :)

Yeah. Washing chicken with chlorine doesn't seem to be an issue in and of itself (unlike washing chicken eggs which... Means that Americans have to refrigerate their eggs while only some Brits do and others store them in a cupboard because they keep without refrigeration here), but it's a useful shorthand for the lax standards in the US farming industry that causes it to be needed.

They also in USA say eating medium rare burger is good or rare burger. Burgers should only be well done. Only meat that should be medium rare is actually streak. No other things should be eaten rare or medium rare. It’s why I never go for burger at Denny’s in U.K. unlike McDonald’s,KFC,Burger King they burgers are usually well done in U.K. when I visited USA I told my friend not to even bother making burger as I simply won’t eat it. I have tried sugar cookies from USA my friend shipped them over & definitely addictive but bad for your health. It’s a shame USA government doesn’t up its standards

Yea I remember signing a petition a while ago about trade deals with US. It's something I really worry about with the Brexit now and Boris Johnson still being PM. I hope they don't allow it for the sake of greed. Now we are out of the EU our gov should be striving for us to be even better! Cut plastics from supermarkets, reduce cost of fresh vegetables and fresh food rather than have processed food as the cheap option. Help to teach and encourage less reliance on meat in almost every meal. There's no reason they should still be allowing plastic manual toothbrushes and earbuds to be sold in the UK when they now make them out of wood/Bamboo. there's also no reason they should still be allowing cosmetics/shampoo etc tested in animals!! They should ban them all or at least have huge warnings on the front of products saying tested on animals and have a disgusting photo of the poor animal like they have on tobacco packets!!

That's why America threw it's support behind Farrage the Fascist. They thought if we left Europe, we'd be stupid enough to eat the trash they call food

@@NicholasJH96 You can eat a medium rare burger, so long as you know the meat it was made from is safe. For example, if I use store bought ground meat I will always cook the burger to well done. If I grind the meat myself, I will cook it to medium rare.

I had not heard of this, thanks for sharing. When it comes to big companies manipulating the governments I am not surprised to hear this.

You write as though the UN was more at fault than both the USA and the political systems that permit big business to own the only global super power.

@@ILoveDawko obvs its not that the UN was ‘more at fault’, it’s just I grew up wanting to study international development because I was so inspired by the UN. The USA I’ve always known to be corrupt, ignorant, greedy and hypocritical. It was just such a shame to find out the same is true of the UN.

@@jordanhowe1899 it must be a lose/lose for them though? Stand up to powerful nations and be marginalised, or compromise and try to work to make a change... not an easy situation to navigate.

@@ILoveDawko oh the blame is most definitely largely on the US, and I understand why the UN altered the report, but say they did stand their ground and the limit was added that year … how large a change would that have made? In the textbook I learned this in, within the chapter on healthy eating it also encompasses awareness of good eating habits. The US still (up to 2012 at least when the book was published) had official guidance for a healthy diet including high meat and dairy intake, something not based on facts but the mass-production of beef that lined their pockets. The US population still believed that to be true. If the UN had reported a limit on sugar in products, how much money would be saved in dental, medical and weight loss program bills? How many lives would be healthier? What other standards would have improved? Trying to take the slow approach is a valid method in many instances, and yes especially when it comes to international relations. But the cost for choosing to back down here was too high to justify, and to this day international organisations are still ceding too much to the US because of how much weight they can throw around. The worst is that we are all aware of and disgusted by China doing it, but that level of awareness and disgust isn’t shown when the US does the same, and yet - at the time of the report at least - the UN treated them differently. I know this has been long winded, but I guess my final conclusion is: the US is fucked, aint no one doing nothing about it, I held the UN to higher standards and realised reality is complex and full of BS.

Get outta here!! Salmonella and E.coli contamination is a huge problem in the EU!

@@MSchipper That is true, You should be careful handling the packaging raw chicken has been in and certainly not wash the chicken in the sink in case you splash bacteria all over the place. That's where chlorine bleach SHOULD be used!

@@MSchipper not true every chicken has to yearly jabs for both

@@MSchipper Annual cases in Europe 91,000; in USA 265,000. Population of Europe 746.4 million, population USA 328.2 million. % rate of cases per million population: Europe - 0.01%, USA - 0.08%. Data is from the CDC and confirms the problem is much worse (8x) in USA.

I used to study microbiology (France) one of our proffessor said it was because of a bacteria Campylobacter. The point was to force producers to avoid getting the chickens to become bacteria factories. This added to limited use of antibiotics in the eu.

Its honestly disgusting, the state of the food market in the USA, (and the unfortunate fact that it is spreading into other countries too), and the way its massive companies put profit over health and environment. (Not that other countries companies dont, it's just that the USA is the most prolific). We had to do about coca-cola in geography, and there were two ase studies. One in Mexico, and one in India. In the one in Mexico, they basically took almost all the clean water from the locals and made it into coca-cola (I think its 5 litres of water to make 1 litre of cola), causing water to become three times the price of cola, and also damaging the crops and environment in the area. The area has a massive obesity problem, and many people dont even know that it's the coca-cola that is the issue. I cant remember the specifics if the Indian factory's case study, but it was just as bad, if not worse, due to the added issue to poor treatment of protestors and women by the guards of the factory.

@@bethanybrookes8479 There's a disease called white pine rust carried by blackberry plants that affects pine trees. I assume ribena, being processed and bottled is exempt from the ban.

And you can see also that these standards in the EU are a reflection of the public healthcare. If you control what you are eating it's less probable to have any disease from it. Without these standard the healthcare should be take care of many more people.

Also American live expectancy is 3 years less than for example UK or Germany. That's the freedom of doing you business the way you want to...

@@lucaacco9631 It wouldn't surprise me if US food standards are by design and working with the health care system, after all, the more people get sick, the more the money men profit from that, that's a big problem in why having a health care for profit is not a good idea as it incentive then to get people to come through the doors whereas in Europe and every other developed countries, it's the opposite to keep health care cost down. What I don't get about the US system is that they make a meal out of universal health care as being socialist and yet many other services like the fire departments and police services are more or less socialist.

@@lucaacco9631 It is more than just healthcare. As a french, i have to say... village markets exist everywhere here, even in big towns, and they are still popular in 2021. I hearsay France is the last country in Europe to still have those, and this is tradition that dates back from the Middle Ages and before. Farmers there sell stuff bred without chemical, totally naturally, no GMO, because if they used any, they would lose all their customers. It is buying directly from traditional farms, cheese makers, shepherds and such. Local supermarkets have started to buy their stuff too, to sell them, because it is popular. Any kind of unecessary stuff in food is bound to be disliked. It is to the point where even industrial companies try to reduce any kind of preservative, dying, or anything in most of their products, and even advertise how natural their stuff is (allegedly). Because even with industrial food, french people want natural stuff. We had anti-GMO insurrections, with some Mc Donald's methodically destroyed, and GMO plantations methodically weeded out, and the leader ended up being prosecuted, but never really convicted. He is a farmer himself. It is not merely because GMO are bad for health. But because there is no need to change something that is already perfect naturally. The rioters got so much support in France that their leader even founded an anti mondialisation political party. He became european deputy for an ecologist party, and even got reelected. It goes much beyond the health matter. We even created an expression for unatural food, that goes beyond "junk food". It is called "malbouffe".

Gareth Tucker it would effect the profits in healthcare, but also maybe their profit margin is greater in the us than elsewhere. Investors probably have their money across both food & healthcare.

Basically, they've never tasted FOOD. Just the excessive crap that they add to the food.

And if they didn’t add vast quantities of chilli flavourings, jalapeño peppers, a ton of salt, a kilo of sugar, artificial flavourings etc etc, to their processed food ingredients, THEIR FOOD would be equally as bland…..you never taste the flavour of the actual food item, only the gubbins that has attacked it!

In the USA they even put a bucket load of sugar in bread, not something we do in the UK.

Bland ? No. *Bad* ? Absolutely fucking yes

Buy them a Vindaloo!

That is a good idea! They grow most their own food and it's homemade.

Thanks for the tip! I think the situation became much better in the last 20 years or so, I know when I first visited the US west coast there was simply not way to shop healthy in a very big radius of where I stayed... and in the last 5 or so years a lot of eg. Trader Joe's popped up along with farmer's markets being more popular. I exclusively buy stuff at those 2 places when I visit recently. I used to become ill before whenever I visited the US. My stomach just couldn't take the food from regular stores and restaurants. Corn syrup in everything is just uggggghh

I'd be careful buying from the Amish. They do not have to adhere to all the same food safety standards, can use very unhealthy levels of preserving salts and if you've ever been to an Amish farm, can be very cruel to their animals.

There was an unfortunate contamination of the usual additives in a batch of UK Dasani water that included chemicals of the cancer inducing sort (bromate) that were over the legal limit. There was a court case and the product was withdrawn from shops never to be reintroduced again. All this is out there in more detail if you look it up.

At least from outside it looks that way, so he neither seems to adjust his actions for the fear of being replaced, nor does he get replaced. (So your argument won't work for hungary at the moment i think) And for my country: In our case, our parties aren't really that different from each other in food safety. So no fear of being replaced for that topic. We have 3 bigger and 2 smaller parties in parliament. The currently biggest party want's to represent the farmers and farming industry. We have a lot of "licensed organic" farmers and a significant number of them are small mountain farms, so one can guess what their position in food related things most of the time is. The next one always had consumer protection as one of their agendas, the next one is our "right wing" party, and they favor anything local before foreign and i already mentioned what the local farms are about ;-) . The small ones: one is the green party, no need to explain their stance in food safety topics... And the last one we have is a neoliberal one, but even they are pretty much on the same boat in that regard. (and couldn't afford not to) We are a very food centered and small mountainous country, so it might be different in other european places.

Steak is good from anywhere if it’s the right cut, and from a type Ie Aberdeen Angus . Chianina ( Italian breed famous for Bistecca fiorentina ) and most importantly prepared and cooked well .. Where do you think America got their livestock herds from in the first place. Hereford’s , Aberdeen Angus etc. ..?

Some NHS hospitals don’t recycle as it’s an added cost … and you can’t just hand them out again, they have to be especially cleaned and examined by experts to check they’ve not been damaged. They end up in piles in the corner of the physio rooms or a shed.

@@lindylou6864 Sorry to hear that last time I had to use crutches was in the 70s you were expected to return them.

I bought them for $10 on Craigslist so I will just keep them.

@@lynette. eventually someone comes in from outside and decides there are savings to be made rounding up all the old bits of kit. So, it sorts itself out in the end. I believe there’s a charity that collects, cleans and restores them now.

@@lindylou6864 thank you I knew common sense would return one day.
