| Bofferbrauer2 said: Just to put some proofs for those in denial: 1. About the US-UK trade agreement: Here's the text of the proposed US-UK trade agreement (.pdf file It basically says that the UK has to open the floodgates to american products (especially agrarian ones) and fully comply to their rules, but the most sneaky one is this part here: "Include strong provisions on transparency and public consultation that require the UK to publish drafts of regulations, allow stakeholders in other countries to provide comments on those drafts, and require authorities to address significant issues raised by stakeholders and explain how the final measure achieves the stated objectives". Yeah, that basically would allow foreign companies, especially american ones, to veto laws they don't like. Remember how the Brexit was supposed to take back control? Yeah, going very well, I see. This is relinquishing all control, not taking it back. Also, at no point in the whole document is something that the US would do for the UK, it's all the UK who has to comply to american companies wishes. About trade deals in general: The UK has gotten a grand total of 9 trade agreements so far, mostly with minor nations. That's much less than the 40 the were saying to get by Brexit day. While we're at it: Here's about why clorinated chicken are bad. It's less that the practice itself is unhealthy, but because the sanitary standards are so much lower in the US and thus many rely so heavily on it, practically to keep them edible. To make sure it works, some go over the allowed concentration of chlorine, which makes the creation of carcinogenes like trihalomethanes possible. As a byproduct, it also makes the chicken look fresh much longer, even when it's actually already starting to rot. In general, the washing with chlorine supports negligent practices and thus undermining the already low sanitary standards. Just look at this undercover video in the barns of the second-largest poultry supplier in the US: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNAo2cvvefQ Or this here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sf06a3MvwvE Bon appétit! |
Thank you man, meanwhile cancer rates are 10% lower in the UK than in the US, and even lower in Eastern Europe - 20% lower in Greece
