Necrobumping this thread: After having been forced to consumer nothing but restaurant food for the past 7 days (during my Ireland travels), I’ve come back with a revised take— American restaurant food needs heavy regulation. The food in Ireland isn’t salted to heck and back, it’s not coated in grease and sugar. In fact, there are many food options that are pretty darn healthy! E.g. hard-boiled eggs, tomatoes, cucumber, etc., all with nothing added. No salt, no pepper, no oil, no anything.

Why can’t America be more like this??

Because the food standards of Trumpland suck due to a lack of regulation. The EU has so many rules for its food standards that even American food products are wildly different in Europe.

For example:

European Pepsi generally has significantly lower sugar content per serving. For example, a 330 ml can of UK/EU Pepsi contains roughly 15 grams of sugar, compared to the 41 grams found in a standard US 355 ml (12 oz) can.

Regional European health policies largely drive the discrepancy. Many European countries (including the Netherlands) have introduced sugar taxes or strict health guidelines aimed at reducing obesity and caloric intake

The lower sugar in soda's is mainly a UK thing because of the sugar taxes in other European countries the sugar content in soda is higher.  Not as high as in the US but higher than in the UK.
