THANK GOD for EU regulations.
Just thank the EU. God doesn’t seem to do much for his own country….

Most countries in the EU already had very high food standards before the EU 'standardized' them.
@@BrookspiritYes. You see that is the best part of the EU 🎉EU unifies things and then implements them well. So EU goes through the laws meticulously then works out legislation and then sees that everything is implemented correctly in EVERY member state. So you know that you are safe no matter where in the EU27 you are 🎉
I work in a candy factory in Italy and we produce for the whole world. The absurd thing is that the candies we make for the United States are only and exclusively for the American market. This is because the dyes we use are chemical and banned throughout the rest of the world. Even the flavor is different....they taste like plastic.
Taste are often locally to a product, try a Colgate toothpaste in another country, I will guarantee you think that it's bad, because it will not taste the way you are use too.
@@Joliie McDonalds fries/chips have 14 ingredients in the US and 4 in EU.
Food regulations differ in countries, and compliance is a very complex thing, so a lot of things will differ not just food.

It's fantastic that you and others are bringing awareness to your fellow Yanks...
So many are totally unaware
Or sadly, just don't care.

While out shopping in Luxembourg for an American band, I was told not to buy any goods with corn syrup.
I couldn't find anything WITH corn syrup!😅
Its generally called glucose-fructose by european producers.
@@Finderskeepers. Yes, but fortunately in most of the world it is produced from corn that is not genetically modified like USA corn and maize.
@@sharonmartin4036 thats why we grow our own corn in the europe same goes for soy beans. the soy beans we do get from the US is not meant for consumption. we do give it to our farm animals like cows and what not. but its illegal to sell it to humans. same goes with Wheat and other grains. nothing of that comes from the US because its all GMO.
If live stock eat garbage, it means people will eat that same garbage. Otherwise it wouldn't be called live stock.
Is this why the government is going after the Hamish farmers???
With cereals the one with the lowest sugar content is straight Corn Flakes Sugar Puffs have 40% sugar the song called diet or fitness cereals is bs
If you want to advertise a health drink in the EU, you have to prove it scientifically.
Most foods cannot prove this and are very cautious about their claims.
Yes, it is always a can/perhaps/maybe/might do, but never a will do.
The only thing they can say legally is e.g. a juice that contains a lot of vitamins to tell, that a glass of a certain amount will fulfill a part of the daily need on certain vitamins.
Say, a glass of this orange juice will give you 20 % of the daily vitamin C needs.
@@Kivas_Fajo there is not just one uniform size of glass as well so they need to be carefull here as well, which is why you are more likely to hear "can/may contain up to % of daily need"
@@theldraspneumonoultramicro405 I've noticed they often now state ''a 250ml glass ..........'' to ensure you know the amounts = I suspect it also helps with NOT drinking too much of something as well because too much can be as bad as too little (too much of some items can lead to unwanted side effects leading to much time spent sitting in the ''little room''.
I have heard SO many stories of americans who moved to Europe or some other part of the world for an extended period of time, not done anything whatsoever to change their diet, not exercised more or any of that stuff, and yet not only lost weight but felt way healthier too, and in some cases, when and if they returned to the US, they gained the weight right back and felt horrible
This even applies to people who had supposedly relatively healthy diets in the US before moving
To be fair stress may be a big factor in that.
@@perer005 I’ve heard similar things from US military personnel posted to Europe. They do have all the US stuff imported for the shops in camp, but any food prepared the chefs will be locally supplied. Plus whenever they leave camp obviously everything conforms to that countries laws.
@@perer005bullshit
A friend from the USA needed medication for his food intolerance in the USA. Since he moved to Europe he doesn't need any medication without changing the type of food he eats.

The meat you serve at school lunches, aged care homes and prisons doesn't even meet the standards for dog food in my country..
My dog eats better then your kids.
🧐 The problem is just one, the almighty Dollar. Nothing else matters
As a Finn, when I was 11 back in the early 90's, our family lived in California and I was delighted to find out that the school cafeteria served hamburgers, corndogs, nachos, pizzas etc as lunch. For me fast food was always a rare treat so it felt special. Now, as an adult, I compare that to Finnish school lunches which are proper home cooked meals level of food, and I see the true value in that. Healthy food that keeps the feeling of hunger away a long time. Full range on nutritions to support the growing body of a child. Honestly, I have always liked the food in Finnish schools. I have literally never refused to eat, even when the dish was not one of my personal favorites.
In USA things are allowed until proven harmful. In many other countries including EU things are banned until proven unharmful.
The difference is in the US it's money over health, Everywhere else health over money.

We in the EU been spooked with various 'horror stories' about stuff we thought was safe and then turned out to be super harmful... like lead and asbestos before the attention turned to what exactly are we doing to the stuff we put in our faces.
As an Austrialian it's mind blowing how in america corperate income can overturn any simple safety issue buy buying the government and people.
Same as guns! But Americans think that guns are "freedom".Still fighting the Indians and those overbearing English! Constitution is out of date!
hey, you have a trade deal with the UK to send your, banned from the EU, meat to the UK!
@@Arltratlotf are you on about? The EU band US meat due to growth hormones, not Australian beef.. Australia is the biggest producer of organic produce in the world my guy, nowhere bans our produce
@@devo3243 you did the trade deal with the UK to get your meat sold, which you cant sell to the EU, because your farmers do also the hormone stuff..
and also, the Aussies are upset that they cant sell Feta cheese and Prosecco to the EU, because you can call it only this way, if its made in the original regions inside the EU...
or would you like a Fosters beer, made in Germany, in your store???
it would be taste much better!
@@Arltratlo we export nearly 4000 tonnes of beef to the EU every year my dude. Which is not that much admittedly, but there is no blanket ban on Australian beef being sold in the EU. I dont know who told you this, but google is free.
And no one drinks Fosters beer other than the Americans, most of the beer sold here is produced in Australia. You'd be hard pressed to find many pubs that even stock it
Profit is more important than food safety in the US, anything goes. I'm glad the EU is much better, not perfect but still better.
The chemicals, food additives and 'big pharma' industries spend massive amounts of money on lobbying to US political parties - I wonder why??? 🤔
I love the US but things like this make me happy to live in Europe.
We are the royalty of the world.
I spent half of my childhood in the states and have a really strong bond towards that country, but still there are countless reasons that make me feel lucky ending up in europe.
Fortunately, the trade agreement between the USA and the EU did not come about 4-5 years ago. Merkel had the idea and really wanted to negotiate and launch it with Obama. Then Trump came and canceled everything Obama had done. Merkel is now gone and fortunately the EU food laws remained, otherwise we would have all this chemical stuff from the USA in our supermarkets.

I m a french guy living in NZ. I NEVER EVER buy food coming from the us or china for the reasons told in this video. I move few years ago in the country side to get a piece of land to start a new resilient life. I spent the first years landscaping and planting trees. Now i have a big vege garden and many fruit trees all organic. I have also half a dozen chicken, ducks and sheeps. It is lot of work but every hour spent in the garden is worth it. I enjoy every second of it. I already produce 30% of my food but my target is to produce 80% of my food in 2 years.

Plenty of US YTers have moved or had holidays in other countries suddenly find life long allergies or health issues just disappear, then reappear on returning to the US. There's definitely big problems with US food.
If that's not a clear indication that they should consider moving, nothing is.
Have seen a few RUclips content creators actually move to Europe, with others dreaming of moving abroad.
Although I've seen some content creators that has moved to the US, without any mentioned issues other than the immigration rules.
A couple of US youtubers I follow who live in Europe mentioned that whenever the visited family in the States that they got really sick from the food there, at least until their body had adjusted after a couple of days.
When I was in the US in 2000 I had no problem with the food, but we mainly ate in restaurants in NY.
@@kholdanstaalstorm6881 because of the small amounts of additives, it may take many years for the accumulation to have a noticeable effect, unlike people that have been exposed since childhood. Just a thought, I'm no scientist.
@@DomingoDeSantaClara
Yes, the difference between a healthy substance and a poison is the dosage, even water can be lethal in large amounts or in surprisingly small amounts in it's purest form (just H²O without any mineral salts).
Then you have the very little researched cumulative effects that several different compounds have together, where some compounds heighten the effects of each other way beyond their individual effects, or their impact reducing the effectiveness of modern medicine.
But this is a research gray area because noone other than countries health services would research the effects of mixing compounds unless to check for a suspected serious health risk.
Businesses would only tangentially touch these topics because it's of little to no benefit for the company.
@@kholdanstaalstorm6881 Hmmmmm ... Moving to Europe, why not, but wouldn't it be better to fight for their rights at home? Didn't we do that in Europe?
As an Australian..we don't even get a lot of American foods imported here. They need to pass our food standards firsts.
You can find American food brands here in Europe. However, they come from local factories which produce their items IAW European food standards, and largley use local raw products. This is why look-alikes on both sides of the Atlantic don't quite taste the same, e.g. European Coke or Pepsi are not as sweet. But, indeed, food directly imported from the US?! I can only think of Bourbon - if that's considered food.
wow, your standards are very low compared to the EU...
its one of many reasons you cant sell your meat here...
They missed American beef, which is pretty much banned in the E.U. because of banned growth hormones routinely used in the U.S. Organic beef is allowed.
In Norway I can find Argentinian, Japanese, Brazilian and a lot of African countries' beef in our highly Norwegian focused beef isles, but I cannot remember ever finding any US beef, even in specialty stores.
Haven't found any other US produced meats or fish for that matter, even though we have several ready-made products in "American style" or similar tag lines on the packaging.
Can find specialty stores with US brand candies, but after further inspection they're made outside the US.
It can't be easier to get stuff from South America, Asia or Africa than from the US, I've seen a few Canadian specialties like maple syrup sold here, made in Canada.
US Chicken? Banned almost worlwide!
@@kholdanstaalstorm6881 It's illegal to import any type of American meat here to Norway, at least by private citizens. Those restrictions seems to apply to companies as well. Not that it matters. Most American food is shit anyway, as it tastes like licking a chemistry lab floor.
Yeah, here in the EU, we don't import American beef. I mean, apart from the occasional 13+ million metric tons each year...
@@kholdanstaalstorm6881 i found a lot US food here.... by checking, its all produced in the EU!
When I lived in the US, food shopping was so exhausting. The consumer has so much work to do and can't guarantee that they are getting the truth. Can't say I miss it.
Fun fact about the marachino cherries. The bright plasticy thingis are just cheap copycats. The original ones are a special, very sour type of cherry preserved in marachino liqueur.
Personally I like neither of them - but at leat the original ones are real cherries ^^
Here in Belgium, and in Germany, we eat raw minced pork. It's so freaking good, but only possible with extremely high quality meat. The difference between the US and Europe is that the food safety laws in the US are allowing food production to go crazy, while food preparation is highly restricted. In the EU it goes the other way around, food production is highly restricted, while food preparation can take more liberties. Chicken still has to be fully cooked, but the chance to get sick from pink chicken is nearly non-existent.
As always it obviously has to do with money, but more people in the EU are as greedy as they are in the US, so the reason why it happens in the US is how elections are decided. The votes of people involved in food production are just too important to upset in primaries and the general election.
I worked in pharmaceutical R&D, and know a few things about hygiene on pharmaceutical levels. dairy production in the EU is not far behind. they just don't go crazy with 80°C 4M NaOH.
What make you think food prep regs are lower in Europe ? Because of different metrics its not possible to directly measure so I respect your opinion but It strikes me that on many issues $'s come before people in the US be it food, health, social services and supports together with more financially focused political lobbying by producer organisations and less attention given to consumer rights or protections.
The big difference is that here in Europe regulators ban chemicals and the like until it is proven that it is safe for human consumption.
In the USA it's the opposite - they allow everything until people have been harmed or died. And even then they oftentimes don't ban the chemicals but only set a certain maximum which means the chemicals can still be used, only in lower quantities.
The USA take the "innocent until proven guilty" a little bit too far in food production in my opinion. Personally I prefer to not play russian roulette with the health and the lives of the citizens.
Yes, such as the 2 cutting boards one for vegetable, one for meat. Or cutting the vegetable first, and the meat after, and deepcleaning of the cutting board. Americans are really paranoid about that, seem to fear Salmonella as a daily bases. That is not really a thing here.
I watch cooking show (French here), and no one seems to pay attention to that, even professional chef
I think the rules on preparation are tight in eu, but I don't know those U.S..
In Italy, it is called HCCP, and it is the same restaurant that has to design a protocol that respects the rules. Then all employees have to take refresher courses. If we leave out some areas in big cities or in the south, in Italy it is a very serious thing. We have a specialized police department (the N.A.S. nucleus of the carabinieri) dedicated only to this, beyond the control of the rules on drugs and hospitals, and counterfeiting. I have worked in the restaurant and I have seen 3 or 4 times the NAS enter the restaurant and check the daily register of the temperatures of the fridges, the correct separation of the various products, the cleaning and bacterial charge on the counters and slicers, and the regularity of the containers of the ingredients. 3 times at least they made a fine of 500 to 2000 euros ... for triffles.

People have been calling me a crazy conspiracy theorist for about a decade for being aware of these chemicals in our food and what they do to us.
As always, the devil is on the details. If all you said is that it makes you fat and sick, you are 100% correct, period. If you say the chemicals are in the food to control your behaviour and that you oppose water treatment and/or vaccination because is "not natural" or "all chemicals are evil", you are bat**it crazy.
There is nuance in everything, and the details here are really important :p
Water is a chemical.
@@AnnaAnna-uc2ff Precisely it is a pure compound, but it is never pure and contains minerals from the rocks it flows around...
@@AnnaAnna-uc2ff artificial harmful chemicals, smart arse 😆

That means countries like New Zealand and Australia drinking water is not good for humanity.
You stupid people!
The philosophy in the USA towards food is "innocent until proven harmful" and in the rest of the world it is "harmful until proven innocent". That is the price of liberty in the USA. You are allowed to do what you want, until somebody has a good reason to stop you. Another way of putting it is: America is about "the freedom to" and Europe is about "the right to freedom from".
All that stuff has been proven harmful already and they keep selling it so it might not be about freedom after all
US food production is a racket between Grocery stores, food manufacturers, agro business and politicians.
Did you know that "Bayer" bought "Monsanto"?
@@markschattefor6997 so? whats your point?
Glyhosphate is pretty "okay" campared to many other substances.
@@markschattefor6997 yeah, when I heard back then that Bayer fell for the old trick of having a company foisted off on them "juuuust" before the big law suites roll in, I couldn't help but shake my head. Bayer believed to have made a huge deal when they bought Monsanto. Only to find a few months later that not only was Glyphosate suddenly on the very stringent watchlist of pesticides that the EU wants to ban but also that Glyphosate was suddenly the target of a multi-BILLION dollar law suite. I bet the shareholders who were able to jump ship when the stocks were still high were chuckling with glee that those dumb Germans bought not only a leaking ship, but that the ship was already flooded to the brim and kept afloat with artificial means.
@@naftyloescher Glyphosate is just a very tiny aspect of the whole problem/danger.
It is the power they have over very important aspects of our daily lives, from seeds to fertilizer to pesticides to medicine.
@@markschattefor6997 oh for sure I agree with that part. Watched many documentaries about that topic in the last years...
I went to school in Australia back when we really did ride 'roos to school - and we were taught about chemicals & dyes etc. Those who took Home Economics, or Chemistry, or Science, went into it more fully. And when we had kids of our own we scrutinised every label. Whenever people discovered shady ingredients in their food or drink, they spoke up loudly, harassed Government, boycotted companies. Because if large companies or governments are getting away with poisoning families, when national life expectancy falls, and people just shrug & accept it... why would they ever change?
And yeah, it takes a bit of faffing around at first - looking up what certain things are. And what they contain. But it doesn't take long until you could identify the tiniest smidgeon of carcinogenic tucked into any ingredients list!😂
I just had a mental image of kids with backpacks, on the back of kangaroos with boxing gloves on, smacking their lips and saying, "Go on, mate!"
Thanks for that 😊
Here in Germany, people are advised to replace "energy drinks" with what we call "Apfelschorle" -- a mix of pure apple juice and natural (fizzy) mineral water. It'll give you sugar for energy, natural flavor, and all the electrolytes, minerals, and salts you need. What's more, you can adjust the concentration to your taste. (Usually, it's served at a roughly 50:50 ratio, but that's up to you if you mix it yourself.) It's also reasonably cheap, and great on a hot summer day.
You also can't sell "diet" sodas in Germany, because the term has been deemed misleading. So Diet Coke HAS to be branded as "Coke Light". Labels like "Bio" or "organic" are regulated by law and have very strict specifications.
Also, a better alternative to packaged cereals is a "DIY muesli": mix whole-grain oats with chopped nuts, fresh seasonal or dried fruit, maybe a spoonful of honey or some chocolate chips. It can even be fun for kids to mix their own -- and use plain yogurt instead of milk for a more filling meal. (A quarter cup of plain cornflakes, or a salad mix of other grains will add a bit of crunch, if wanted.)
Apfelschorle is nice. Here in the UK we do have a branded drink called Appletiser, but that's fizzy apple juice, no added water. Still nice, though. I tried Almdudler last year in Austria, that was quite refreshing.
I like Germany and central Europe in general, all of my trips abroad seem to end up being either Germany, Austria, Czech Republic or Poland 😆
Thats what capitalism is all about. Protect the industri, not the consumer...
Maybe one day someone comes up with a new marketing strategy to sell more stuff to the health aware people in the us, use the european ingredients and label it with "complies with EU food regulations" as a sign of top notch healthy quality :D
they something close in the UK already..
it says " not for sale in the EU "

I'm french, and as I say quite often to Americans who are disgusted by our rare red meat, you wouldn't have a problem with it if the conditions in wich your meat is produced weren't so unhealthy that you have to carbonize meat before eating it. I wouldn't dare try a tartare from those kinds of meat.
It goes for every food. If you start cutting corners for profit, you loose quality. Once quality is at it's lowest and you keep cutting corners, you start endangering people
Right on point, raw meats and rare cooked meats in europe are pretty safe. I work in a food lab and finding pathogens on meat is quite rare.
Americans have a problem with the fact that people in France speaking French!

I'm so glad I live in central Europe (CZ) and have an access to actually natural foods like eggs, veggies and even meat (usually chicken but sometimes even the top quality Angus beef). I feel a bit bad when I drink Coca Cola sometimes but holy shit it's like a super healthy god potion in comparison to the US Coke :D

Sister married in the US (to an american guy) , moved there 10yrs ago from Hungary.. as she left the food capital of Europe, she feels a little unhappy both about meals (including sweets), and even individual groceries (taste, quality, color) are way worse than what we have here.. bro in law used to love eating here 😂 its not even in the same league 😅
So is that it? You're powerless in the face or corporate America. Eat what you're given - and be thankful. That's a terrible indictment of failed democracy. (Sorry, I'm in a dark mood!)
If I lived in America (glad I dont) I would try and grow my own vegies - even in a window box. America is like a third world country in many things - health, food, guns, homeless - the list goes on. 😪

I'm also Australian and I agree with you entirely. It needs to said more often by Americans.
glow in the dark, fluorescent and telly tubbies should not be your food's colour palette
I don't know who the guy on the original video is but he is making a lot of sense. His labels reading sessions should be replicated everywhere.
Soda in USA has replaced sugar with High Fructose Corn syrup in Sodas and other drinks, High Fructose Corn Syrup is banned in almost every country.
The doctor didn't give enough information about the problems with the food colorings imo.
Yellow Nr. 5 for examply leads to behavioural changes. In children it leads to hyperactivity. And in people in general it leads to irritability, restlessness, depression and sleeping problems.
Granted, you need to ingest a certain amount, but that amout can be easily reached, because Yellow Nr. 5 is in so many products people do eat/drink on a daily basis. So it accumulates.
Those things are worth looking into a bit deeper, if you are interested.
In the UK and Ireland meat ,Dairy.fresh vegetables , Eggs, as well as a lot of other products can be traced back from the store to the farms where these foods were produced and carry a symbol on it packaging to show its approved
I Denmark we have a soft drink, called Faxe Kondi, marked towards people who play sports. Tho they do not say it’s healthy.
Also the pork thing. We have a huge pork industry here. We also export a lot of it. I think it’s said, that there’s 5 pigs per person. Seeing that 5.8 million people live here, that’s a lot of pork being produced each year.
True but maybe you should also have mentioned, since I could imagine some would search for cleaner foods after watching the above, that both our pig and cattle are exported to some of the most critically regulated and monitored nations in the world when it comes to imported meat. Denmark´s food producing regulations are even harder than EU´s regulative s for that very reason.
I do not think USA import a lot of our meat because they are so price/quantity focused and not quality focused but never the less any US consumer reading this, should know that Danish pork and beef are highest standard. Just for the record that includes no genetically modified food, no growth hormone, no standard antibiotic penicillin (as US producers do as standard on all pork/cattle..."funny" how USA have a fast growing problem with antibiotics resistance in humans now....! .) and if it are labelled organic meat from Denmark it have only eaten organic food throughout it´s entire life! I have heard some nations dye the meat before packaging and that are completely banned here. While we are at it. Royal Greenland´s products, from small prawns to large cods are caught in the cold waters between Denmark and Greenland far away from polluting industries!
And Denmark being a EU member, the pigs are also in much better condition.
This is why the UK laughed at the US when they wanted to sell some meat products like chicken.
I live in Sydney Australia and have seen a few of these vods now and the food in the US scares the heck outta me.
Carbonated (fizzy) water is a great soda replacement. 😉👍
As a french, sorry i cant help myself with this:

To be honest it s also bad here in france the EU government is f*cking up the agriculture, with that war on ukraine , they authorise chicken from ukraine to be imported cheaper and the quality and feeding security is so low and bad... ect
also ukrainian grains, it was imported as technical one, but used to feeding animals ect., also after checking it result were it can contain loads of unhealthy stuff, like heavy metals, salmonella, pesticides ect. when goverment didnt agree for more import of it, then now ukraine pretends to be a victim and wants to be tried on court... everything soon after getting loads of help
Lol, not a professional athlete here, but whenever I'm in need of electrolytes, I go for a beer. It costs roughly the same, doesn't have any weird colorants and is going to put me in a slightly better mood :p

American 'beer' is considered soft drink in Germany.
In the eighties we had the scandal that water from the table was polluted with Atrazine and Bentazone (tens of times over the limit), so the local "EPA equivalent" we had would certify each well, and we would go with canisters to the "clean" wells to get drinking and cooking water... the then Health Minister solved the matter by increasing the limits, and since then here most people don't drink tap water anymore (wich otherwise is great here, compared to my experience abroad and especially in the US), and buy humongous amounts of bottled spring water, even it costs money...
This was before the EU introduced strict consumer and health protection laws, and things have improved... but people still buy bottled water, once burnt...)
its great that the English pump their sewage into every piece of water they have....

03:05 in Portugal, as far as I know, Gatorade or athletic drinks are not advertised at all.... I remember when I was a kid (a few.... Years ago😅) but now that I think about it it's been a while since I saw a commercial for those kind of drinks
DIY Gatorade is simply water (1 cup) and a teaspoon of sugar 1/4 tsp salt 1/4 teaspoon magnesium sulfate and 1/4 teaspoon potassium sulfate or alternatively you could drink a glass of water and eat a banana for the same effect 😂
I recently spent a week in the US, Texas and Kentucky, after a week of eating US food, I truly felt like crap for about 2 weeks after the trip, bloated, sluggish, lack of energy. Earlier in the year I spent 6 weeks travelling Europe and not a problem at all.
I also like the coke from the small glas bottles way better than from the plastic bottles, although we don't use high fructose syrop here anyway.
Gatorade tried to get some market share in the 90s, but I think scraped that plan. But I can recall one of the Hefeweizen (beer) brands advertised their alcohol-free variety as iso-tonic, so helping with the replenishing of those electrolytes our bodies crave after a work-out 😂
for a doctor his information was quite bad. For example: GMO Genetically modified organisms like corn are sprayed LESS not more than normal veggies, because they are made genetically resistant to certain diseases/funghis, etc.. The problem with GMOs is not the health, but bad/incomplete testing, and those partially resistant species of corn can lead to wild mutations in the fields and grow out of control, killing off all native species of corn for example, or cross-breed and create new versions with (only god knows what effects on humans if eaten). That is the reason Austria for example bans most GMOs. Not for human safety concerns when eaten, but for overall safety risks.
on the other hand, they are more predictable than natural crossbreeds most of time, which ppls are doing for ages
depends what the result you want to create with modifying. You would think it is logical to modify the crop so it is more resistant to pest and diseases, so you have to spray it less. But i would not be surprised if they modify it to increase yield and ignore the resistance of the crop.
That is only partially true. Some GMOs have been modified to be more resistant to certain pesticides and fungicides so that farmers can be certain of better profits from one harvest. Such as certain seeds from Monsanto that are more resistant to Glyphosate, which incidentally is ALSO a Monsanto product. Making farmers more reliant on one company. But the audacity of Monsanto didn't end there. Certain crops were laced with a certain DNA strand that occurred only in Monsanto seeds OR the crossbreeds that were pollinated from them. But a farmer that tried to sell their harvest when they had not legally bought a Monsanto licensed seed could be sued by Monsanto to retroactively pay these license fees IF this DNA strand was found in their harvest. Monsanto was THE ultimate villain among the big farming and pesticides companies. Their practices easily crossed the line from grey to deep black business practices multiple times.
And then my country's dumb company Bayer went and bought Monsanto. Incredibly stupid, as their stocks dropped by over 40% in one year after the criminal procedures of Monsanto were dragged into light by multiple law suits in the USA.
@@RustyDust101GMOs modified to be more resistant to pesticides and fungicides?? I think you've got your wires well and truly crossed there, brother...
Have you ever wondered about the explosion of mental health issues in recent years in the US? How closely can this shocking and vast negative trend be matched to all the chemically 'enhanced' or growth hormone enriched, or genetically manipulated foods being forced on the nation?
"Brawndo: It's got what plants crave!" - Idiocracy. Substitute Gatorade for Brawndo lol.
Hey sport SHUT UP and let the guy speak!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Brawndo Has Electrolytes" please watch Idiocracy!!
When Ian said "electrolytes" I couldn't help but grin remembering those scenes from the movie where everybody regurgitates that stupid slogan without even knowing what it means.
I do that every day by watching American NEWS in my time, not in 2505.
Thanks for the info. Mexican Coke does definitely tastes better readily available where I live in southern NM. Cool hat by the way!
I moved to Europe from Australia in 2018. A striking example of the effect of EU food regulations I noticed is that the basic supermarket peanut butter here is the best I have ever tasted, never, ever greasy, absolutely delicious. It's like what peanut butter in Australia was like when I was a kid. Australia has relaxed its food regs since I was a kid, but they're still much tighter than the USA. Peanut butter in recent years there has gotten a lot greasier. In Europe it's like to be called "peanut butter" it can only contain peanuts and butter. No junk.
Peanut butter doesn't contain butter.
Okay- hey, I'm not an expert. I just know what I taste. Whatever, the peanut butter is yummy.
@@TheRealJellyBomb
@@ronasaurus74 I agree 👍 🤗 I have a stash in my basement 😂 It's pretty good in burgers, too 😋
@@ronasaurus74 mate, grab a blender, grab some roasted unsalted peanuts, or roast some raw peanuts......then blend the peanuts. Voila, peanut butter. You will need to add salt, trust me on that one. You will also probably want to add some peanut oil if you want it to actually be spreadable. If you want more flavour, roast the peanuts until they are almost dark brown but be careful not to burn them, that can happen really easily. You want the nuts to be the colour of strong but milky coffee.
i have to ask, why would you eat something like this...its taste terrible!
In the US health is a business. So let's make the people sick so we earn money.
Ian, cereals are grains from plants. The colourful junk you’re talking about has very little nutritional value and loads of sugar, and the grains might as well be cardboard! Eat cereals but eat the good stuff with the low GI fibre to protect you from diabetes. The best breakfast cereal by far, is rolled oats, whether eaten raw (soaked) or cooked (porridge) or blended into a smoothie.
Quite. But how were those cereals grown? With what fertilizers, pesticides, etc.?
@@micade2518 Well, I’m afraid that’s for Ian to research, since I (thankfully) don’t live in the US.
@@Jeni10 My answer was just "food for thought" ... ;o)
The problem is that food production in the U.S. is in the hands of large corporations and no longer in the hands of family farms. Those corporations want 3 things:
1) High prices for their products. This means destroy the competition aka family farms.
2) High yields from their farms and ranches. Poisons and antibiotics because even in the U.S. you are not allowed to sell meat from sick cows.
3) Low costs. Huge machine harvested monocultures that attract specific pests and blights so they get sprayed with everything Monsanto has to offer.
It is important to realize that these corporations do not see a mom and dad with two cute kids. They see consumers and if one of them gets cancer, well thank goodness we also have an insurance company that collects premiums but screams “pre-existing condition” if you call them and a few H.M.O.’s to squeeze the last bit of cash out of you before they bury you. You are not a human being. You are a consumer. Human beings have seven figure incomes and a summer home in Martha’s Vineyard.
In my lifetime, I've lived in 4 different states in the US. As a nurse, worked in 3 of them. The southern town I live in now has more twin births than I have EVER heard or seen before. My daughter had twins, over half her friends have had twins. It's weird.
Atrazine is a herbicide sprayed on the ground to prevent weeds after seeding crop rotation is very important so as not to load the ground up
Do you know what they used to do instead of using this "very important" herbicide? They used to let fields lie fallow, every third season or so. They would let animals graze on what grew naturally and then they would till everything into the ground to feed it. Amazing system. It fed the world for centuries before your "very important" herbicide was invented.
No such ads in Slovenia!
Recently i was on a Canada/Alaska cruise. Once in US waters i could not eat anything but fruit that could be peeled; in other words that could not be tampered with. Everything else, even bread and yoghurt contained some sort of -cides and preservatives. My body just wanted to evacuate those chemicals immediately. At home, it takes my veggies no longer than ½ your from garden to plate and meat is without additives, too.
on the other end of the spectrum: ever tried french cheese? it's just wonderful. but mostly made from non-heat-treated milk (of various animals), and usually coated with some more or less naturally sourced fungus (roquefort is just seeded with the mold spores that are natural over there).
not allowed in the US, because the milk isn't heat-treated.
They know why there is no public Healthservice.
Whenever I‘m in the States, Farmer‘s Markets are my best friends, even then you still need to be careful.
In America 80% of organic produce is organic ???? HOW ???? 20% COULD BE ANYTHING!! WOW !!
Here in Austria the food/drinks are heavily regulated. There are many product that can be tracked back to the exact location where they were produced and are locally produced.
The one big fraud though is like the one with your "grass fed". Some cattle/pigs get raised poorly and spend their last time in the beautiful mountain fields and are advertised like they were raised there...
In the nordics it's more proteinshakes, or "recovery drinks" that are marketed. Water during training, recovery drink/meal after.
Its not the Food Industrie you have to blame, the Politicans who allowed to use all the poison in your food are the ones to blame.
I'm still trying to figure out why American cheese 🧀 is orange. America is the only country i know of that has actual orange cheese, also cheese in a can, WTF is that.
The colour of cheese depends on the beta carotene content of the milk used to make it, and the type of cheese. The type of cow and their diet have a big bearing on this. As for why they put orange colour in cheese. Apparently "orange" cheese was favoured by a lot of people, and was more expensive, back in the day. So make your cheese orange and profit. Only cows can naturally produce yellowish milk (and cheese), goat and sheep cheese should always be white. The dye they use in cheese is generally Annatto, which is natural.
Gatorade and other similar drinks are marketed to athletes here in Finland too. Usually pro athletes doesn't drink those but swap it for different non chemical filled drink with energy and/or electrolytes+salts.
I played cricket for many years, I always kept a small pouch of salt in my pocket to take if I was cramping up, drank heaps of water and ate oranges and bananas during breaks.
Natures sports drinks.
Thats wierd, i never saw a Gatorade ad in my life ( Portugal ), the only " athtlete " drink i ever saw in ads was " Isostar " and even that one i havnt seen in years now.
Please don't tell me America is trying to make 'informational' a word.
Oh that's very simply explained.
We have food laws, that make sure corporations don't poison the population and you have no such food laws at all.
That's why your corpos can do whatever the heck they want, without any fear for consequences or a bad conscience.
The difference is that in the EU, chemical companies producing chemicals for agriculture must prove that their product is very little harmful to humans. In the USA it is the opposite, because it is people, consumers, who have to prove to officials and corporations that they are poisonous . And in the end, as always, it's about how health care works in the EU and the USA . In the EU, it is state-owned, so governments make sure that people do not get sick because it costs the budget. In the USA, health care is a huge business, so regularly poisoning people is beneficial to everyone. Health care companies are getting richer, so taxes go to the federal budget. Such a paradox
@@smiechuwarte-qt8pn Not everyone...the poisoned ones got the a** card.
@@Kivas_Fajo Organic food in supermarkets in the EU is also only in name because there is a long list of chemicals approved for its production. These chemicals are not as poisonous as in the USA, but they certainly have some side effects
@@smiechuwarte-qt8pn Not true. Do better research.
We have bio and we have organic.
Bio may have pesticides and such, but in far smaller numbers, than on regular produce. Organic may not have anything chemical used to grow them.
American chemicals, food additives and pharmaceuticals industries spend massive amounts of $$$'s on 'lobbying' US political parties - I wonder why??? 🤔
Coke in Australia also uses cane sugar. HFCS is banned for use in products here. We have a large cane sugar industry and it's much cheaper here. I agree about the glass bottle! When I treat myself to a coke I'll pay a little extra for the glass bottle variety if available. Second choice, a can, last choice, plastic bottle.
When i drink soft drink, I usually drink bundaberg gingerbeer or their pink grapefruit or a sprite. I tend to drink them more in summer as just water all day doesnt cut it for me. I am prone to dehydrate easy. My oyher go to is pure coconut water for natural electrolytes.
Bad luck, you can't eat any of that stuff... it's also better for your figure... 😁 think about what else you're allowed to eat and drink
We have a TV show BesserEsser - also on YT - where a food technician recreates familiar foods. It's so funny that the food gets stuck in your throat.
In EU food and health are treated with the prevention principle instead of the post cure one.
Which means we also cure if needed, but first we try to prevent.
Like what happened with the covid pandemic and the lockdown, starting from Italy (it had pros and cons, obviously, but prevention first).
Meh, in Europe, as with the UK, Australia and NZ, we all have universal healthcare. It makes economic sense to also protect people's health by controlling food quality, good food = good health = less public spending on health care. The US, on the other hand, has for profit health care and a huge food/agricultural industrial complex that actively lobbies (read pays) pollies to be allowed to do what they want. The US also has the highest public healthcare spending in the world. It is one hell of a scary picture.
The food items that are banned in Australia from overseas are beans, peas, cereal seeds, eggs, fresh fruit and vegetables, uncanned meat and all pork products, milk, popping corn, raw unroasted nuts, whole salmon and trout.
In Australia we do import Canadian pork now and then.
@@marieravening927 we also import fresh fruit and vegetables, plus other things that we shouldn't (like raw seafood products - some of these cause massive damage to our seafood industries). But these kinds of imports are allowed due to the free trade agreements.
@@marieravening927
Most of the bacon and ham in Australia is imported. The supermarkets are killing off our local producers. You have to look really hard to find Australian bacon and ham.
@@marieravening927 mostly at Christmastime, and they have to go through a serious regulatory check
i was referring foods that are not declared through customs the Chinese are the worst
These companies put toluene into cereal? What the actual f... I use toluene to dissolve glue for crying out loud!
Butylated hydroxytoluene tho: in the petroleum industry, where BHT is known as the fuel additive AO-29, is used in hydraulic fluids, turbine and gear oils, and jet fuels. Yummy for children, sure-
Freedom baby. Everyone can do whatever the fck they want.
Amazing.
Brawndo! It's got electrolytes! It's what plants crave!
What're electrolytes?
It's what is in Brawndo!
Yeah but what are they?
They're what plants crave! I thought you were supposed to be smart!
~~Idiocracy
AbooutCoke.. the recipe is unique for every country !
CocaCola adapts it to regions based on different average taste people are used to !
Seemingly in Norway Coca-Cola has missed with the recipe, because here's PepsiCo the biggest with Pepsi Max as the market leader with 1 in 3 litre soda sold were Pepsi Max in 2021.
Same year 89% of soda sold were sugar free.
But I can confirm that the versions of global soda brands sold in Germany, Spain and Japan taste differently than their brand counterparts in Norway, and I've heard that they taste differently than their US counterparts too, but I haven't tried them myself.
In Australia, I can say that I haven't seen a powerade or gatorage ad on TV for the past 10ish years
Just another reason for you to move the family out to Australia ✌️
Hey! You got an austrian car plate from Graz? Nice! How happend that? I'm from southern Austria too.
Ultimately this is just a symptom of the wider problem with the corrupt political system. When you don't place limitations on corporate lobbying and election finance you give way too much political influence to business interests, and the outcome of that is regulations (in this case food standards) that serve the interests of corporate profits and not public health.
We in Europe have heard a lot of the crazy food industry in USA. You sound surprised by the information. Don't you in America have any knowledge of this?
Ever since i've been seeing these videos pop up over the last few years about US food i've been wondering how u guys there handle these revelations, couse this can't be easy at all.
Regardless, i hope u guys stay safe and be selective in what to eat if u can.
Because they think that banning these chemicals is taking away their freedom to choose whether or not they want to ingest the chemicals themselves
@XenaThreat yep, many years ago Jamie Oliver tried to launch a program in US schools to overhaul cafeteria food as he was appalled at the processed sugary crap kids were being served. His program was a dismal failure firstly because of the 'expense' involved in feeding kids chicken and salad sandwiches instead of pizzas and hot dogs, but also because he wanted to ban pizzas and hotdogs and burgers from schools altogether. Apparently this would impede too much on the kids' freedom of choice so that was shot down pretty quickly. I remember watching it on tv from Australia, it was mad.
In the UK, the traditional sports drink is Lucozade.
I've found that since i started shopping the perimeter of the supermarket in Australia(meat, dairy, fresh fruit & veg), and stay out of the Aisles (processed food), my health has improved so much. Basically I've gone back to how my Grandmother used to cook....
After physical exercise drinking alcohol free lager works well.
To answer your question "Where did it go wrong" at 9:38. I believe this is mainly caused by money. And it looks like the FDA is not really doing its job, or doesn't not have very strict rules. In Europe, it is pretty strict. For example Bread. it needs to have a predetermined kind and ratio of ingredients to be legally called bread and be sold as such. That is the reason why American bread can't be sold as bread in most of Europe. Because the sugar content is too high. (10% instead of the maximum allowed 2%)
What are you talking about, "max allowed sugar content in bread?" You can put as much sugar in bread as you want.
From my point of view, genatically modified and sprayed are to different things..... what doesn't makes each thing for it's own better.
