  The fuck are yall on about… food from anywhere else is the best. I would go to events in Iceland regurally enough and it takes me a week or so after getting back to stop noticing that everything state side tastes like plastic.

    Modern British food is some of the best in the world, far better than American slop.

    Show me one yank that agrees with that

    I’m stereotyping.

  Packaged foods in different countries are exactly the same as what you can find in the US. They are all loaded up with the same stuff. But, just like anywhere else in the world, lots of people make their own food from scratch or buy healthy alternatives.

    Holy shit NO! Half of your additives are illegal in Europe

      First, don’t assume “your”. Second, you are using the EU as a reference. What about the Middle East, Asia, Africa, or the Pacific? As someone who has traveled the world, there is junk food in every culture and most of it is garbage.

    USA use chlorine, excessive amounts of salt and sugar, and a ridiculous amounts of other additives.

    Other countries regs are much stronger.
