Is it freedom to use plastic? 😅

@ apparently, and to pollute, USA , #1.

always great to call people idiots if you can't even speak proper english. try harder next time.

I agree! Especially not having plastic bags is a huge pain lol, I hate these weird paper bags that break after using it once

In the US you have more freedom, and you should be able to chose to use plastic cups and bags or not. I don't aggree with tricking consumers though to think that something is healthy and natural and is not, it should be clearly stated so that the consumer can make an informed choice.

Guess Germany is not too worried...

you won't be able to. you won't survive a day with your white sugar and corn syrup addiction there.

This is exactly what I'm saying.They're government restrictions from living life. At least here in the states there's a choice. I'm sure this dude could have gone anywhere else. But he chose to come here. Why is the question..

I love America, and I love the freedom and oppourtunities you have here! And you should have a choice if you wanna use plastic or not! But I don't agree in tricking consumers to think this is a natural product and it is not.

@@alfbeef5880 yes great choices you have. in some states (soon in all of them ;) ) if you get some real problems during pregnancy, you can choose between abortion and then going to jail or you can choose to just die because the doctors won't help you. but hey, at least your government aren't restricting anything huh?

Sorry but in Germany and Europe there is much more freedom ( but much much more) than in the Us..just that here we don't hv to be brain washed to be convinced there is freedom!!

​@@alfbeef5880but we don't want to use plastic

it might be boring, but at least we won't have to sell our house to pay our medical bills.

Yet the title is mentioning US .... twice

Yes but America needs to have the whitest flour in the whole world! I think it has some advantages if you bake highly automated

@Tobi_in_Miami I looked it up: bleaching flour produces finer grain flour for higher ratio cakes, cookies and quick breads. I still feel confused, becouse I can do all of the above with plain flour too. 😂

@@daniby9894 lol yeah, but maybe if you use like heavy machines and you want to highly automated it might have an advantage. But it is weird, especially they rip out all the nutritions and then enrich it again, super strange.

@Tobi_in_Miami Still, I don't think there's some big baking advantage lies ine that naked flour, otherwise they wouldn't be throwing 20 other ingredients into making a sliced bread in a bag with a long shelf life...

I think instead of just pointing out the differences in the food the video is made to be rude or talk smack about America.

Surely..I like their sense fór having things in order - Ordnung muß sein 😊

Many nice things in America not only Germans here but many people around the world that bring many nice things to this great country

The governments in europe pick and choose what you shall Do with your life. At least there's still a choice available somewhere in the world.

The ban is for one-time use plastic PRODUCTS, so for example straws, cups, those flimsy shopping bags... Those are banned. But plastic for packaging and of course solid plastic products (garden furniture, pens, etc), still totally legal and common.

​@@einblauesplektrum2089take away paper cups are lined with plastic

I don't understand why is there a law to add vitamin? Can't I just get my vitamins from fruit and veggies?

​@@Tobi_in_Miamiexactly 💯

yeah, but the salmon in the video was actually wild salmon, at least thats what it says on the package, so I don't understand how it could have food dyes in it? Or maybe it is just called wild salmon but it still is farmed salmon?

You can farm "wild salmon" its just a different type of farming. ​@@Tobi_in_Miami

​@ussinussinongawd516 no. Wild is caught in the wild not farmed

The additive here is red40, not astaxanthin. It’s not banned in the whole EU or UK (but some countries, including Germany, have banned it completely) but it is linked to some health risks and warning labels due to its link to behavioural issues in children are usually required so most companies have switched to alternatives.

​@@cllrhollyburton7218It also contains yellow 6 (sunset yellow) and yellow 5(lemon yellow) yellow 6 is banned in the EU and the UK. yellow 5 is restricted in use. Red 40 is allowed, but requires a warning label.

I mean you litteraly cannot get a plastic bag and plastic straws in germany. They make you get this weird paper bags that always rip, I can reuse a plastic bag many times. A paper bag only lasts 1 max 2 times.

You just have to find the wright store. But it is true that plastic straws are hard to find. ​@@Tobi_in_Miami

All of my local grocery stores here in Brandenburg have plastic bags, and they also have little plastic cups add silverware made of plastic, not sure what you're talking about ​@@Tobi_in_Miami

Where do you live? They might have something similar close to you :)

@Tobi_in_Miami Pennsylvania, NJ area

@@hijakyurio2705 I am sure you can find something there :)

@@Tobi_in_Miami How do you find these meetings and is it mostly like, German heavy accent English speakers or just normals like myself

Facebook Events is a good source where I find a lot of these. Most people are native English speakers like you, but once in a while you will stumble upon a German who just migrated and he would speak German heavy accent english (like myself)

genau richtig, wobei ich ja TraderJoe bevorzuge :)
