The thing with washed chicken and cows on steroids is choice. I'm happy to buy 'chlorinated' chicken but I won't be buying hormone beef. I don't mind antibiotics but I'd like to discourage the use of steds. What I want isn't important, it's about lowering prices for the poorest in society. If American food outlets (McDs, Dominos, Subway, Chik FilA) can dominate Europe off the back of 'chlorinated' chicken then maybe it's worth a look.
As long as the poorest finally get a free market choice as opposed to being forced to buy the premium version every week for their whole lives, I'm OK with it.
It's all very well for the organic lot to want natural (often infected) meat and produce but it isn't fair to force higher prices on people who are willing to take the trade-off.
Our aristocracy kept us poorer and weaker for centuries using protectionism using legislation like the Corn Laws. The EU is no different.
