    Default EU rejects ' tainted ' American food


    EU demands UK keep chlorinated chicken ban to get trade deal
    Exclusive: clause in negotiating mandate for Michel Barnier will create hurdle to US-UK deal


    https://www.theguardian.com/politics...al-eu-tells-uk
    Not only does Europe reject American farming practices- but it is insisting that it will not accept a trade deal with the Brits if they don't reject them too.

    So what exactly is wrong with American hormone-pumped beef and chlorine-washed chicken carcasses ? To name but two.

    There is nothing wrong with it. It is delicious. The EU is acting stupidly.

    Pumping animals full of growth hormones is done for one reason only, to increase profits. As for the use of chlorine, there is an issue with lower quality chickens being cleaned up after slaughter with chlorine treatment to kill bacteria. I believe that BoJo will reject hormone treated beef outright and settle for a compromise with citric acid washing instead. Can't see many in the UK buying US chicken anyway, we have the highest animal welfare standards in the world and can't see that changing.

    My gutter-tongue can't compete with yours, maggot, degenerate corporate ecocidal eurotophobe that you are. I thought that ' twat ' was the sound you got when you strummed a Yamaha.

    Both Chlorine washed and hormones are safe for human consumption. You say profits, I say lower prices.

    U.S. chickens do have to be transported further distances which does make them more susceptible to disease during that period.

    Rumors of my death are greatly exaggerated.

    And less inspections and speedier slaughter.

    A Modest Proposal For Separating Blue States From Red

    Dear Red-State Trump Voter,
    Let’s face it, guys: We’re done.


    It is a tragedy that so much of the work that so many men and women toiled at for so long to make this a better country, and a better world, has been thrown away, leaving us all in such needless peril.

    This is why our separation in all but name is necessary.

    The old fanatical Socialist, Bernie, will never live in the White House.

    He may get a new house, his fourth (?) after the Democrats rig the nomination process against him.
