Yea, unfortunately his post on food is correct. We here believe we are being told the truth about what we eat, but it is a lie. without be labeled a radical true hugger, anyone who really believes they know what is done to their food is living in a fantasy world.

Lets just take a normal hamburger patty at your average grocery store or fast food place. It contains meat, connective tissue, sinew, stabilizers, binders, fat, small chips of bone, red food color, a host of chemicals. Now why all of this stuff? The USDA allows meat processors to self regulate ( kinda of like the Iran nuclear deal) and they are profit orientated and so they don't follow proper procedures and the meat is constantly contaminated but lucky for us the don't have to through it out anymore because everything is now processed with radiation and chemicals to kill off anything (true look it up) the wash the hamburger in a vat of chlorine and then hydogenperoxid and then they have to put red die into it because it is all white now.

For those Americans that don't believe me, please look it up before you respond.

This is exactly the case yes and just another lovely tidbit of the whole picture.

There is a reason that the EU is not interested in a lot of the food products from the USA and i am more than fair in worrying about it.

I mean, if standards are that low, how will i know that the high quality stuff i am buying is REALLY high quality?. The way them companies operate is exactly why we have a lot of regulations in the UK and EU, it's to stop bad persons exploiting good people but it still happens.

I used them words in a different context.

To say something means bugger all for example is the same as saying it means fk all. Bugger is just more hip i guess lol.

This is just 1 among many things that worry us. I'm not going into a debate because there isn't one. USA food standards are sub par but as stated further back, we can buy organic food if needed and this doesn't necessarily mean crap on the micro level.

I am however fine with GMO's provided they are done ethically. GMO's are good when done right and the hippies are getting far too loud about it when they don't know sht.

You want to move to the US and I want out of it, lol man

How come?

Government and cretins like omega nox aside, it is a great country and has a very interesting history in many respects, even if it can be summarised in about an hour lol.. Quite a lot of my ancestors were american as well. I know some of them lived in Valeene wherever that is about 200 years ago ish. I also have ancestors who fought on either side of the civil war and probably the revolution as well as they were among some of the first people to colonise it. One of my ancestors came back the the UK to marry a chap who lives in Northampton not long after the American civil war, something like that.


I guess you can say the same about the UK really but when you have someone who has been in business and been a real person for 20 years telling everyone the limits of what is possible and gets gets scoffed at in favour of some posh tory boy who is a career bs artist, it's time to leave.
