in US your turkeys are treated the same as chickens, so you are no better off eating turkey, sorry try to find a farm near you where you can buy good quality ingredients I think on westonprice there is some kind of map of where you can get ingredients, meat, dairy, baked goods..etc. but you buy a bread machine and make your own
Travels often in the US every 3 months and stays 3 months. Minimizing what to eat as honestly meat has no taste and relies on sauce. Mostly I ended up in salad or fish. Then eat as much when I’m back in Europe. I’m sorry.
Hi. If you liked this video then you should watch a RUclips video called "Food in America compared to the UK - why is it so different" by Dr Livingood. Though he only goes through six different food products in the video he puts the ingredients lists for the same product in both countries side by side so you can immediately see the differences. I think you would find the video both informative and shocking.
To put it very simply, in the US they can put what they want into your food until it’s proven to be dangerous. In the Uk and Europe they can NOT put anything into food until it’s proven to be safe.
yes, and it is also a problem when a single food is allowed some dangerous ingredients because they are not "too dangerous" as long as you only eat a little of one such food. but when the same chemicals (like yellow5) are in many different foods, it adds up and the total amount is no longer "not too dangerous", eg add the limits of skittles, mtdew and debbie to get to triple those "safe limits".
"In the UK and Europe"... The UK _is_ in Europe. You could just say "In Europe". Saying "In the UK and Europe" is like saying "In Japan and Asia" or "In Madagascar and Africa". Just because they're islands doesn't make them less, they're still part of the continent.
@@Asa...S many people use europe and the EU interchangeably online and my guess is they use 'europe and the uk' because of brexit. Not defending it but I think it's understandable what they mean
@@RandomNon-interestingguy If they did mean it like that, that they didn't understand the difference between Europe and EU-members then they would say "In Norway and Europe" , "In Switzerland and Europe", "In Iceland and Europe", "In Serbia and Europe", since those countries isn't in Europe either. But I've never heard anyone say that, or act like those countries isn't in Europe.
As for Coca-Cola in the EU, it's worth mentioning that they are not allowed to sell it if it contains corn suryp. It must be sugar! In fact, what you americans should be concerned about is that a lot of american food that is sold within the EU have different ingredients than the same food/drinks sold in the U.S. That is, healthier ingredients opposed to all the poision you're served as americans...
Could I mention eggs. In the US it is mandatory for all eggs to be subjected to a washing and sanitising procedure. This makes the eggs nice and shiny on the outside. BUT, what this procedure does is to remove the ‘cuticle’ which is the natural layer on the outside of the shell. This cuticle is natures way of protecting the egg from harmful bacteria getting inside through the pores in the shell. This is why US stores have to sell them from refrigerated cabinets and why the customer has to keep them in the refrigerator at home. This process is banned in UK, the EU and many other countries, so eggs are displayed on ordinary open shelves and do not have to be refrigerated, unless you want to keep them for an extended period.
In Australia we generally keep our eggs in the fridge at home because the houses can get extremely hot. But they're in the open in stores since those always have air conditioning.
In Australia, we either inoculate their very few cage eggs, which are still produced, basically only really for companies, ironically like McDonalds, hungry jacks, and your bigger restaurant catering business. For general public consumption, probably 80 per cent off eggs 🥚 are free range ( chickens not caged in their lifetime) and then off those free range you have completly organic ( no use of any chemicals that are not already present, and no use of drugs or hormones or adivitives) so this gives us the choice of buying for health non caged eggs ( watch a video if they are not all banned seriously! Of how caged birds life is lived that is what causes the need for the chlorine dip !! Seriously to much writing needed to try and even start explaining how awful for the animal but also for the food produced under constant stress, shitting on top of each other in cages no bigger than they are, where after a couple of weeks of life there legs break and they cannot even shift about .....eh yuk just thinking about it... I live in the food bowl of the country with farms bigger than some American states in land size !! For me to be discussed with animal treatment is saying something. 😮 but yes, just to finish this point off, it is now a case of buying for health and/or animal welfare reasons and $ is applied obviously to the less chickens per hectares & level of organic farming involved as obviously the less birds per hectares using age old techniques to kill of pests ( for example you might need an acid to kill of some bacteria, rather than using a spray off some chemical on the bird, you have the costs involved in using something like a for urguments sake a bi product of lemon production to do the same thing but with more labour, more expense usally, with risk of a treatment not working and loosing upto all of that years animals.) Again, like others have said & I think it is a greater point than my friend here from the B****** UK has pointed out about the eggs being left out rather than put in the fridge. This is completely possible to do here in australia, and where I live in Northern Victoria in the summer, most days will sit at 40° -46° degrees centregrate, or around 100 F° - 114 F° this being average with much higher and lower temps thrown in, but with only winter being prominent as below 50° F the rest of the year is considered hot to Britain and some parts of Europe. Of course, you can not leave the eggs out in the sun, I have been able to fry an egg of metal objects left in the sun, though. Stuff it I have already waffled on to much but if anyone makes it this far please give a votes up or reply, as most people don't want to read anything , and would not even read a contract for loan so ... but yeah, if you got this far and you are still with me. I have only just come across this channel whilst watching something else and ofcourse started watching, so I'm 20 videos in and only one comment. I have ended up writing too much as I have found, even as recently as 2 months ago, whilst on holiday and surrounded by Americans on a very high level expensive, very low number of passenger to staff and ship size cruise, as I had said I would never do a cruise as they are a floating vector of illness, as they are all run for Americans so it is all supersize , big buckets of food, served in big bamereies no thanks. But the Americans are so annoying to travel with as they really do have the most warped idea of the reality of the world. There are ofcourse degrees on these things and not all Americans are the same, but with food they wanted the best of the best ingredients but they want large sizes, they want to be over the top fussed over ( they have picked this up from the most annoying travels in the world the highly opinionated, highly wealthy, highly conservative but sexually & behaviourally questionable upper crust British couples or single men). So all of this links into every video I have watched with these creaters, and it is something more Americans need to desperately wake up to , is that America is not the centre of the world and even in countries with no free and open press , have more idea of what is going on outside of there country than Americans do. So I noted this : * all topics of discussion if unfortunately seated with them are Americans centric to the extent that unless you as a "foreigner " are aware of the state politics and the ins and outs of the way people from different states interact with each other, then you are totally and completly lost in the conversation, and allthough on holiday in this case in spain, Portugal, France, Holland and Belgium ( 3 weeks of cruise amongst 2 1/2 months) made those three weeks long as they had done little research into life in any of those countries and don't listen to the advice on behaviour , so if someone in the group was going to do something that would spit in the face of the hospitality of the people of that country it was Americans, as what happens in America should be how it is done everywhere. * Food was a massive one like I said they want the best of the best, but don't have the palet for it, and so you end up with expensive ingredients going into blanded down dishes for there tastes. Don't get me started on steak 😤. Look to much to much written f*ck , so 🤷 summary: the "grown" steak that is being made now and the next big thing to get beef cattle in particular off the paddocks world wide due to the methane produced. I Swear to God I would love to do an experiment to test this, as it is conpletly on world view and how Americans think compared to most other nations. Get 11 people from around the world to try this test tube meat 🍖, and for the 12th person make them American and let them ask a question in whatever order you like, where as most others first thought would be to question the safety , long term and short term safety, the ethics, the direction it might take all food production, the American will always be the one that would ask " So if I have it right and you are growing steak, so you must control its size, shape, texture etc. So does that mean that the super fatty steak I like that at best you can cut to 350 to 500gms, awsome so you can grow me to order a New York Strip steak with all the most tasty bits like fat increased x 5 what an animal would ever produce and you can grow it for me to 2kg but grow it all as a NY steak ? No cutting ? Awsome I will buy this technology !! The
The US does use growth hormones to feed the cows that are banned to use on livestock in Europe! Thats why US beef actually are not imported here but organic meat can be imported from the US!
Crazy that a country with privatised health care for its citizens feeds them such unhealthy food, whereas countries with socialised healthcare makes sure food is healthier 🤔
Of course in the us you need people to get sick bcs sick people = profit for private healthcare in eu sick people = a lot of cost for government so they don’t want you to get sick so they help you
We have skittles but ours have natural colourings. Even if you make your own bread it’s the flour that’s bleached. Our eggs don’t need to be refrigerated because we don’t bleach them so they still have their natural coating which protects against salmonella and we don’t bleach our chicken either, cooking chicken properly will kill the bacteria so there is no need to bleach them. Your bread has so much sugar it’s actually classed as a dessert and your McDonalds fries have 14 different ingredients where as ours only have 3.
Many of the American products sold in the UK have different ingredients to the US. Chickens in the UK are some of the safest anywhere in the world due to the increased diligence of the farmers. This also applies to all the other livestock produced.
In Germany we regularly eat raw minced pork meat for breakfast. And we can do that without danger because regulations around selling that type of raw meat are extremely strict and can only be sold on the day it's made. So delicious!! Never had a problem ever after eating that type of meat! Also when I was in the US... California to be precise I constantly had the taste of chlorine in my mouth... from the meat and to water which was the worst offender. Beverages, mostly soft drinks with all that unnecessarily ice thrown in made me incredibly thirsty. Only after buying 100% juice that taste was gone. Anything that touched water tasted like chlorine. Also baking your own bread will only protected you from some of the additives since some are going directly into the flour and the grain used is also very different.

The question is if the Food companies can change their products to comply with UK and EU rules, why can't they change their products they sell in US to the same that they sell in UK or EU
@@moondaughter1004which is crazy when u think about it, because the whole purpose of things like the FDA should be the safety and healthiness of the consumer
@@andj0810 The FDA has people that go into the food ir medicine industry to work there, or go from the food or medicine industry to then work in the FDA. It's why there are workarounds when it comes to Food Safety standards there. Lot of bribery and collaboration with different industries.
It shows that rules work. The companies won't leave a regulated market out coz every Dollar is a Dollar, but If you don't regulate, they will do anything possible to increase profits. But many Murricans I have encountered would call this socialism, which is, of course, bad....
There is food coloring in Swiss rolls because they basically have no color without the food coloring. The brown color is a mix of yellow, red and blue food dye because there's no chocolate in it to make it brown. It's chocolate flavored :)
After spending a few weeks in America I couldn’t believe how much people eat and the quality of the food was shocking. Even Mc Donalds doesn’t compare with Mc Donald’s in the UK
When I was at Disney land with my son, we ended up sharing any dish we ordered in a restaurant the portions were so big. We were more than satisfied with the half-portions.
It was the biggest disappointment when visiting the US. The food all looks amazing but is totally tasteless. Big, shiny juicy looking apples were floury in texture and tasted of nothing. 🙁
In the UK, mcdonalds fries , 1 potatoes , 2 oil , 3 salt !! That's it . American mcdonalds about 14 other ingredients ?? All additives and chemicals !! Think most Americans don't even know what REAL food tastes like 😅 blows my mind !! Also beef is banned in the EU also . Too many growth hormones etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc 😅
Its like adding Butyric Acid to your chocolate, particularly Hershey bars. This is produced by intestinal bacteria to help break down food but its also what gives your vomit its distinctive taste and smell, they use it in marker pens as well to stop the ink drying out, especially the black ink pens.
Here is something you may not know. When you see, Grass Fed Beef, doesn't mean it spent its life eating Grass. Cattle only have to eat grass for two months to be called Grass Fed. That means it may have been eating corn and other grains for fourteen months and the last two eating Grass. Also, take a look at Wonder Bread next time you're in the store. 11% of the loaf is in fact sugar. In the UK, the standard is between 1-2% of natural sugars, not added sugar.
I’m a New Zealander and I moved to Australia for work back in 2009. That was the first time I had come across “grain fed beef”. I was quite shocked eating in a restaurant and reading the menu where it appeared to be extolling grain fed steak as the best meat. It didn’t take me long to work it out that any grain fed steak was flavourless. I only ate totally grass fed meat after that!
Reference Mountain Dew: A video I watched on UTube a little while featured an American visitor in the UK complaining that the Mountain Dew he'd bought here in the UK didn't taste like it does in the US. He was actually missing the banned ingredient.
It's really frightening what the US consumer is being told on a daily basis. The worst thing is that not everyone knows what is contained in their (perhaps daily) purchases. Because not everyone informs themselves about it or knows what is in it. And the food industry sells it all every day without any scruples in the supermarkets. American citizens are really walking a very dangerous line, and they are taking the hit. And another point, in no other country in the world are there as many fat and overweight people as in the USA, caused by these chemicals and harmful additives.
US farming has been trying to get it's agriculture products into the EU for decades the issue is you don't produce anything natural even milk the cows are genetically designed to produce more product to the detriment of walking. Beef is packed full of growth hormone eggs are washed & stored in fridges because the reduced ability of the shell to resist bacteria. Bread has been around for thousands of yrs a simple concept a staple product for billions of people yet someone has an idea will make it last longer make it look whiter & softer oh who cares if it tastes like sh!t only in America thank god.
Here in Europe (England), we don't have to have our own farm to get responsibly raised animals to eat, our Governments makes farms/ farmers do it by law!
@haraldschuster I think a lot of us in England (Well from my personal experiences) feel rejected since fu*#ing Brexit. But I am a Northern European and always will be. It's so tiresome having to explain to others that we haven't suddenly become a different continent. Although I know we are hated by many countries.✌
A lot less rare than you seem to think. Leave win by, what? Around 1% of the vote iirc. A lot of young people in particular see themselves as European.
@@haraldschuster3067 Not rare at all, it was a 1% swayed vote. Alot of us grew up as european and will forever consider ourselves as that. Alot of our trading standard import laws also still follow pretty much everything by the letter. I hope you do get expatriated.
Your food isn't just full of stuff, but man it's expensive. My local supermarket, I can get fresh baked bread for 70p... about 85c 6 free range eggs for 80p... less than a dollar Mince beef is one third of the price in the USA.
One of the most common questions I read from Americans is why we don’t refrigerate our eggs in 🇬🇧…in the US, the eggs are washed after they’ve been laid…the chemical washing actually washes off the natural protective coating making them susceptible to bacteria. We do not, allowing us to store them at an ambient temperature. If you refrigerate eggs and then keep taking them out of the fridge, you also run the risk of condensation forming on the outer shell which in turn can penetrate the shell and contaminate the egg.
nope, the condom water does not matter. If the eggs are unwashed, condensation does not cause anything. This is due to the difference in temperature between the refrigerator and the outside temperature, but has no effect on the eggs.
@@baramuth71 nope!!! Eggs stored in a cold temperature undergo condensation when exposed to room temperature, promoting the growth of bacteria and therefore potentially contaminating the egg. I’d rather follow health organisation advice V’s yours!!
Orange juice: In Germany when you see a bottle which says "Orangensaft" then it is 100% orange juice without additional sugar or other ingredients. When there are other ingredients than it must not be named "Orangensaft". It may be named "Orangennektar", "Orangen Fruchtsaftgetränk" or similar which translates to "orange nectar", "orange fruit juice drink". This way it is obvious what is pure orange juice and what is "modified". The same applies to other fruits. Hand crafted bread rolls are just made of a handful ingredients: water, flour, yeast, salt ... no sugar needed. And that´s what - for me - good food stands for. Less but all natural ingredients .. while the taste is improved naturally, for example by using selected flour and let the dough rise for 12 hours or more. Our local bakery does it this way. (surely not every bakery) That´s not hearsay. I did electrical stuff at the bakery and saw how they prepared the dough in afternoon to be baked the next day. For sure we use lots of ingredients to make things taste "better". Like pure vanilla, natural cinnamon, natural herbs .. and so on. Again: not every food is made this way, for sure there are "cheap", industrial products of any kind. Raw food: Sushi consists of raw fish. There are delicious raw marinated fish dishes. Tatar is raw meat, raw eggs are often used in the original dessert “Tirami su”. Original "Emmentaler" cheese is made from unheated milk. All very tasty. I eat them every now and then.
Glad you did this one - in the US, anything is allowed as an additive by the FDA until it is proved to be dangerous - in the UK/EU, the onus is on the manufacture/supplier to show it is safe BEFORE it is allowed to be used! 😊
Can I just say, as a first time watcher, i absolutely love your backdrop. The stone wall, the french doors/windows in the centre showcasing the weathered wooden fence and green vegetation. It looks fantastic.
Fun fact: My collegue, who used to work in food quality regulatory body told me a story that when we were joining EU a lot of people were not happy with the regulations coming from EU. But not due the reason everyone would think. They were unhappy because they thought EU regulations were too liberal and relaxed and the food would not be clean enough. And I must say that there is something legit with this claim as I remember the food from the 90s and early 00s and the difference in quality is very noticeable
Fact, my hairy butt. That's bs and you probably know that it is. Were you around on 1st of January 1973? I was, I was almost 25 years old. On joining the EEC food standards in the UK had to be raised to meet EEC regulations. Sure there was resentment among food manufacturers and processors, farmers and large grocery chains because it was thought that costs to them would increase. Then there was that good old British ailment, xenophobia with so many people (but then still a minority) being particularly resentful at the UK, "...being told what to do by foreigners". Decades of lies told by the Daily Fail, News of the Screws and other rightist rags about the EEC/EU fuelled British exceptionalism and xenophobia to the extent that when presented with "Cameron's Folly" the UK narrowly voted to leave the EU, to this country's great cost. Now it is starting to dawn on some of the slightly more than half of our populace who were benighted enough to vote to leave the EU that the UK is now really small beer in terms of world power and influence and that being outside the EU has led to our position in terms of international trade becoming extremely weak.
there is hope ;) I work for a Dutch company that makes food colouring from natural sources, like carrots, beets etc. and the US is a growing market.....so hopefully all unnatural colouring will be gone in the future
That's what I dislike about the labels that state 'No artificial colouring', most people fail to realise that artificial colourings are replaced with 'Natural' colourings, but they are still artificial to the product.
Bread is quite easy to make: flour, water, yeast and salt; perhaps some sugar to start the yeast, maybe some oil to prevent sticking, and then plenty of trial and error.
Bread is easy to make. Just make a basic dough that includes salt, sugar and yeast. No silly additional nonsense. So much better then anything you get from a supermarket.
I can imagine the US banning certain European foods because they aren't toxic enough & don't have the potential to kill you. I feel sorry for the citizens of the US.
I remember when I went on vacation to California with my family. Like all the restaurants we went to had signs saying their food could potentially cause cancer. That's absolutely crazy
The cost of food/groceries is simply obscene in the US. All European countries have much better value for money with groceries. The food is fresh, clean and for meat-eaters the animals are treated way better than in the US. I am from the US, I moved to England a decade ago and the food quality is staggering for half the price on fresh produce.
For a French person to hear that English food is of good quality is worse than a nuclear apoclypse. Oh God how can anyone think that? God, you are very cruel.😢😢
@@CROM-on1bz Don't talk rubbish. We have lovely food in the uk you just have to leave London and all the tourist traps to find it. If you look at any foreign visitors videos that visit the uk they all say the food is good. Your probably another country who has been brainwashed into thinking we have bad food. Come here and try some and then say its horrible.
You should check the difference between USA-ian Coca-cola which uses corn syrup where as other countries uses sugar, obviously to much sugar isn't good for you but check out what corn syrup does to people to.
Oh, you want to learn how to make your own bread? Here's an easy recepie for you: 2 cups of roomtempered water 3 cups of flour 1 oz of yeast 1 teaspoon of salt Mix water and yeast. Add the flour and salt. Mix until the dough is smooth. Let the dough rest under a light blanket for 1 hour, or in the fridge over the night (if you want fresh bread in the morning). Once rested, turn the oven on to 450 F (225 C) and portion out the dough to fist size buns on a baking sheet. Once the oven is hot, bake for 10-15 minutes. Done.
US coke can't be sold in the EU since the sweetener is corn syrup. Corn syrup is basically in almost everything in the US, since it's cheap. There are a few side effects, though. And thus EU coke and other US beverages from Coca Cola or Pepsi is made with sugar (usually from sugar beets).
I found your question regarding animal hygiene and what the answer is to the problem super intriguing. I think there is no simple answer but a lot hat we as consumers can do. Like eat less or no meat. In my family we have biweekly schedule of meat week, veggie week, fish week, veggie week. Rinse and repeat. And if its meat week, doesn't mean we eat it every day. It means we have one or two meat meals during the week, the rest is, again vegetarian or sometimes vegan. Part of the issue in my eyes is the high demand for meat which incentivises mass production. But there are ofc more layers to it. Low meat prices forcing farmers to cut corners, a lot of food waste through pacakge deals and insane portion sizes. It's complicated.
G'day Guys! Greetings from Down Under! Here all packaged foods MUST display a health star rating on the packaging which means everything in a package from frozen veg. to bread to cereals etc etc That is in addition to needing a detailed list of ingredients! Cheers!
Guys what's good for cough I know from grandma and doing for my kids, is onion tea with lemon and honey, just peel the onion cut in two and boil covered and leave it sit a little after, and you drink obviously only the liquid😊. Also propolis spray if you can find is very good for sore throat, that one i could find it i think at healthy planet here in Canada, but i know about it from mom we used it a lot back home in Europe, Romania
GMO causes concern in Europe because it is felt that we don't know yet the real outcomes from growing GMO crops. For example, they can be modified to increase the yield or the amount of a specific mineral or vitamin but it is not really known how that affects other creatures. Would a more nutritious crop make any insects that eat it bigger, stronger and more resilient too? We have a TV doctor here (UK) who just tells everyone that when you are shopping, you should look at the ingredient list of each product and if it has an ingredient that you don't have in your kitchen, avoid it. It is a lot more expensive but I do try and buy organic products as much as possible.
I am a single person but I love my bread maker, 455 grams flour, 2 teaspoons yeast 2 teaspoons salt and 360mls warm water and 3 hours later fresh bread
In the 1980s/90s I worked in a job where a team of us had to visit the New York office every 3 months for a week. Fed up with the illness rates after our return the Board switched it over so the NY team had to come to us and bring their computers with them. Extreme? Maybe but none of them got sick after a week staying near Windsor .
Three things (no. 2 isn't strictly related to this video but to food choices in general): 1) As a children's nutritionist: *Do NOT give honey to kids under the age of 1!* Honey may contain the bacteria Clostridium Botulinum that causes *fatal* botulism in infants because their system is not yet ready to fight it. So please expose them to pollen etc. in other ways. 2) The term "light". All it means is that it's lighter on fat than the standard product from that specific company. The normal product from one brand may be even lighter on fat than the light product from another brand so read the labels. 3) Standard US sliced white bread contains approximately six times as much sugar as the EU equivalent so it's no wonder if you think it tastes sweet. 😅
US Coke is made with High Fructose Corn Syrup. UK Coke is made with beet sugar. The EU has not banned High Fructose Corn Syrup, but it limits how much can be used, so Coke changed it's recipe for the EU. Also the chicken thing, Now the US is a big country, if anyone could do free range chickens, you got the land, more barns less chickens in each for better hygene etc. Then they would not need the chlorine wash. And could be allowed for export.
Ireland in 2020 ruled that the sugar content in Subway bread was too high to be categorised as bread. Subway got slammed in the UK because of the ingredients in their bread. I forget how many years ago, but it might even be more than a decade, it was the level of trans fats added to their bread which came under scrutiny.
I started making my own bread during the pandemic. I went online to find some teachers and Bake with Jack has become my go to for all things bread. Amazingly, home baked bread needs just flour, water, yeast and a little salt (I leave the salt out). You can add other ingredients as your skills improve. My first loaf was a bit heavy but I still ate it. My second loaf was better, and I continued to improve with each loaf. Try it and don’t give up! 👍😃😋😋. Don’t start with sour dough, treat that as an advanced level.
@@baramuth71 I’m on a lo so diet so I need to cut it from wherever I can, and store bought bread is like 200mg per slice. I need the sodium to be where I can’t remove it, so I can count it.
Carrots do not benefit your eyesight, during the Second World War the Germans could not understand how British pilots could be so accurate in night raids, of course the answer was radar. To confuse them propaganda was put out that the pilots ate lots of carrots to enable them to see better in the dark like rabbits. I am amazed that Americans still believe that you can get better night vision if you eat carrots ! 😂😂😂😂
If you can get first break wheat, on non improved bread flour. Go for it. My finnish ancestors made loaves of hard bread called Jot, with flour, either white or wholemeal. Using only water. Get a bowl, put in the flour and start with less water, add just enough to bring the flour together. Lay on a flat tray, with some bake paper. Try to form a rough loaf shape. About 4 inches high, flatten the ends, tying to keep the "loaf" high down the middle. Bake until the outside is golden. Cut slices and butter one at a time, not so good using 2 for a sandwitch, open sangas are more practical here. Put a clean tea-towel around your loaf, or keep it in an air-tight tin after it's cold. You can also do a fruit loaf, just put a cake portion of dried fruit in your small packet of flour. Break up the fruit and cover it with flour first, then add water. Try to poke fruit inside of the loaf, so it burns less. Bake as before, slice and butter... you may like this toasted. The uk and aus have made self-raising flour since forever, it has bicarb soda or baking powder in it. That can make your Jot a bit lighter? If you really want to make bread, you can buy a bread maker. Commercial Bakers told me to eat day old bread, there is a natural chemical in it which goes away after 1 day. You can have some hot, just don't have fresh stuff exclusively. You may become gluten intolerant. All the best. My aunt uses toast which she rubs garlic into for sore throats, butter makes it taste a bit better, but 1-a- day makes my colds much less horrible in 3 days. Those that carry on about cows and flatulence, think about what cows eat, they eat grass, ok. What happens to people who eat vegetables only? They get strong flatulence. So would you rather the cows with it, or the people? 6 of 1 and half-a-dozen of the other. Personally I get too weak from not eating meat. I have a long list of things I'm food intolerant to, that are supposed to be good for you, starting with onion=migraines, and cabbage=bad wind and stomach aches. It's personal choice, do what works for you. Just try to limit the additives, and have other foods in moderation. Grate your own cheese, they put something in to keep grated cheese in separate bits. Your cheese can be hard to melt, particularly parmesan, the fda lets them put shaved wood in it.
Australia hasn't banned it fully but highly discourages Yellow American Cheese from being consumed there because of what is used as a colorant, Annatto. It's linked to bursts of anger and hyperactivity in children and adults.
There are so many good bread/roll recipes on RUclips, I make a lot of recipes from a retired chef from the north east of the UK called John Kirkwood, well worth checking his recipes! BTW I love your channel 👍🏻
The chicken farms' houses are horribly stinky and over crowded. A friend of my daughter who worked for one week in a chicken house said they made rounds 4 times a day to pick up dead chickens.
Brit here. I do know of one food that is banned in the US and that's black pudding. Not sure exactly why, but it is banned. I think it's because it contains pigs blood. That doesn't really make sense though because if you have a rare or medium rare steak, some blood does come out.
Erm actually it doesn't, all blood is removed from meat at the slaughter house. What you and millions of others ( including myself until I learned this fact) think is blood, is actually a red protein call myogoblin. When myogoblin is mixed with water it runs and everyone thinks this is blood, it's not, look this up if you don't believe me
Like someone else was saying, its easy to get started with making bread, for a beginner though i would recommend getting some high quality flour, its easier to get a good result when you start out then. The web is your friend in this case there is a billion recipes for bread just pick one that you think looks interesting and start experimenting, you will not regret it. My personal recommendation to start with is to try making some ciabatta bread for sandwich, its very easy to get a good result and you only need good flour prefered with over 12% protein 15% if you can find it a little yeast and some salt thats it, there are some tricks involved connected with how you handle the dough and bake the bread but you can find that in all recipes online.

Cuba cola is a swedish brand, you can even see swedish text on the bottles in the video. I have no idea if it is really sold in cuba or not, but it is not from there.
Hi. Nothing is easier than making your own bread. 1 kilogram of all-purpose flour, 20 grams of fine table salt, in a separate bowl mix 13 grams of dehydrated yeast with 500 cc of warm water. Pour it into the flour, add a couple of tablespoons of corn oil. and knead until you obtain a smooth dough (10 minutes of kneading). Let it rise for 50 minutes covered so that it does not lose moisture and in a warm place. Then it is divided into buns of approximately 800 grams. Shape it or put it in a mold and let it rise for another 45 minutes. Baked at medium temperature 170 C°. for about 40 to 50 minutes and that's it. homemade bread without preservatives. and it is not necessary to add sugar. whole wheat bread is the same recipe but with 20 gr. of yeast. It is a life change. Oh, and to make pizza it is the same recipe, only it is divided into 400 gram buns, stretched, shaped and tomato is added, it is pre-cooked in the oven for 15 minutes and then the topping is added. You can do it.💪
@@lellab.8179 I usually use 10 grams of dry yeast. but the extra is so that it rises well. Trust me, I have been the owner of a cafe/pastry shop for 10 years and among other things we offer homemade bread toast. The bread is excellent and has no yeast taste.
In Germany, we have a dish called Mettbrötchen. It's basically a bread roll with raw minced and seasoned pork on it, often topped with raw onions or scallions. And it is perfectly safe to eat, as long as you consume the Mett on the day you buy it, because there are a lot of regulations and inspections in place. It's not about being raw, it's about control and safety, which can be achieved.
No raw honey for babies (botulism). Also instead of fruit juices, you should just eat fruits because you get fiber from it. That way the sugar is not as bad. But yeah broccoli is still way healthier than fruits, but not many children like it.
Canadian here, about fifteen years ago the candy (similar to M&M’s) called Smarties removed the artificial colours, they used to be bright colours. Now they are pastel colours, it’s good they did but I noticed a different taste and didn’t like it at first Lol, didn’t take long to adjust tho as have liked them since I was kid and missed them too much.
Steak tartare is commonly available throughout Europe and is both safe and delicious if prepared properly from quality beef. The problem in the US is all the rubbish that is injected into American cows to make them reach maturity quicker.
Greetings from Germany!✌️ In the USA you can throw stuff in the food until it is proven dangerous. In most other countries you can juse stuff when you proof it is safe.🤷
The thing I love about living in the UK is the food quality, it is illegal to put anything fake in food unless you put it on the package that it is inside the product. And because we the consumer wouldn't buy those products the companies are Proud to put 100% Approved on their labels. Chicken which is caged is banned so Farmers are Proud to put Free Range on the packages. I recently went to Miami and between me, my cousin and our nephew we didn't enjoy most places we ate
We have Skittles here in Britain, they are a British sweet/candy that we don't put the artificial colours in. The brand was bought by an American company and messed with it, I think we did have the same ones as in America for abit but we reverted back to the original because of food/health studies and laws.
guys, sour dough bread is not a long process, the start is a good few days, because you have build you yeast starter, once you have that use abit and keeping feeding it, you can have a couple on the go, its a bit like making youghart, you only need the starter pot, each batch you keep some back as your starter, and keep making, every month or so you may, start it again, I worked in idian resturant, they make there own
I remember Subway in the Ireland isnt't allowed to call their bread "bread" because there is so much sugar in it, the supreme court ruled it basically falls under the cake category. And the GMO bit, it has less to do with specific dangers to the human body, and more with the effect on the species of plant in the long run, as in changing DNA and enhancing certain qualities will probably unintentionally also increase certain vulnerabilities from certain bugs/weather/diseases etc. potentially destroying a whole species in one go, and saying Oops! won't fix that.
'There are so many human beings to feed, what is the solution?' - well, one of the big issues is food waste. You don't have to go back more than a handful of decades, and chickens, for example, were bought whole, it fed a family, and the carcass was then used to make soup and so on. The raw ingredients are now processed in thousands of different ways, creating products that never existed before. Mechanically recovered meat. Not a thing when the whole bird is sold, but when it is processed, it exists. It has food glue added to it, and compressed and made into chicken nuggets for example. The commercialisation of food, particularly in the west, is out of control, and food waste is one such indicator. Personally, I have completely changed the way I shop and the food I buy and consume. I buy raw ingredients and cook from scratch most meals. I know what is in my food. I don't buy mass produced crap, or processed food, the vast majority of the time. Probably why I've lost a boat load of weight in the last year. I also stopped drinking soda. 90+% of what I drink now is water. Thought it was going to be boring, and dull compared to soda, but coming up to a year now, and it's just not an issue.
why can colored M&Ms be okay while Skittles are banned? Well because food colorants are legion and it depends on which of them you use and in what ammount you use them. It is not that other countries do not tint their food, but they use colorants which have been improved as being safe instead of containing something that may harm your health. And btw...... there is a big ingredient difference between Coca Cola in the US and in Europe. Ask people who have been abroad....... it tastes alike but far from "absolutely similar"! The company had to make concessions for the allowance to sell it here.
Actually, skittles have more vivid colors due to those dyes compared to m&m's that have a bit duller. In short, they are sacrificing customer health for a bit of vibrance.
On the topic of GMOs. Basically everything we eat these days could be classified as genetically modified. Dairy cows have been selectively bred to produce more milk, carrots used to be purple and bitter but they were selectively bred to be orange and sweet, bananas have had their seeds shrunk through the same process... there's loads of examples but these are the ones I can think of off the top of my head
Here's an example of the differences between the same UK & US food products. McDonalds fries : US - 19 ingredients (including multiple chemicals). The UK - 5 ingredients (incl 2 types of non-hydrogenated oils (sunflower & rapeseed))
Do you know where that carrots are good for your eyesight thing comes from? In World War 2, there was an overabundance of carrots from people growing their own vegetables, and the government played on the success of 1 particular night pilot and his number of victories. This was actually due to onboard radar, but it was secret, so they did something totally silly and said it was due to the vitamins in carrots and said this pilot ate lots of carrots... 😂 And that's where it comes from. Also... the Germans heard about it and began giving their pilots carrots 😂😂😂😂😂 ❤ from Northeast England ❤️
Actually carrots contain a lot of Vitamin A which is also known as retinol. Retinol genuinely helps you to see better in dim light. So they weren’t doing something silly by saying carrots help you see in the dark. It’s 100% true. That’s why saying the pilots were eating carrots fooled the Germans, because it made sense
@Spiklething Yes, they do... but nowhere near enough to give some extraordinary night vision. It was just a way of conning the Germans so we could keep our technology secret. ❤️ from Northeast England ❤️
Dont forget distance of transportation....UK is alot smaller so food and ingredients have to travel alot shorter distances so less preservatives are needed in UK food
I was in 2022 in NY for vacation with my family. When I got home to Sweden. I was sick for over 1 weeks because of the food and water bootle. The bread was like eating rubber.
@ 20:36 I have no idea what you define as juice, but there is no added sugar in orange juice here in Norway that I know of. Natural sugar is not that bad. You'd get that from eating fruit.

I think on westonprice there is some kind of map of where you can get ingredients, meat, dairy, baked goods..etc.

Travels often in the US every 3 months and stays 3 months. Minimizing what to eat as honestly meat has no taste and relies on sauce. Mostly I ended up in salad or fish. Then eat as much when I’m back in Europe. I’m sorry.
The additives are very addictive. Being hyper is addictive as a child. That is why they are added to the foods.
Hi. If you liked this video then you should watch a RUclips video called "Food in America compared to the UK - why is it so different" by Dr Livingood.
Though he only goes through six different food products in the video he puts the ingredients lists for the same product in both countries side by side so you can immediately see the differences.
I think you would find the video both informative and shocking.
To put it very simply, in the US they can put what they want into your food until it’s proven to be dangerous. In the Uk and Europe they can NOT put anything into food until it’s proven to be safe.
yes, and it is also a problem when a single food is allowed some dangerous ingredients because they are not "too dangerous" as long as you only eat a little of one such food. but when the same chemicals (like yellow5) are in many different foods, it adds up and the total amount is no longer "not too dangerous", eg add the limits of skittles, mtdew and debbie to get to triple those "safe limits".
Uk is in Europe. Just wanted to say because some people from UK seem to think they are not😊
"In the UK and Europe"... The UK _is_ in Europe. You could just say "In Europe". Saying "In the UK and Europe" is like saying "In Japan and Asia" or "In Madagascar and Africa". Just because they're islands doesn't make them less, they're still part of the continent.
@@Asa...S many people use europe and the EU interchangeably online and my guess is they use 'europe and the uk' because of brexit. Not defending it but I think it's understandable what they mean
@@RandomNon-interestingguy If they did mean it like that, that they didn't understand the difference between Europe and EU-members then they would say "In Norway and Europe" , "In Switzerland and Europe", "In Iceland and Europe", "In Serbia and Europe", since those countries isn't in Europe either. But I've never heard anyone say that, or act like those countries isn't in Europe.
As for Coca-Cola in the EU, it's worth mentioning that they are not allowed to sell it if it contains corn suryp. It must be sugar! In fact, what you americans should be concerned about is that a lot of american food that is sold within the EU have different ingredients than the same food/drinks sold in the U.S. That is, healthier ingredients opposed to all the poision you're served as americans...
Exactly. You’re totally correct!
Could I mention eggs. In the US it is mandatory for all eggs to be subjected to a washing and sanitising procedure. This makes the eggs nice and shiny on the outside. BUT, what this procedure does is to remove the ‘cuticle’ which is the natural layer on the outside of the shell.
This cuticle is natures way of protecting the egg from harmful bacteria getting inside through the pores in the shell.
This is why US stores have to sell them from refrigerated cabinets and why the customer has to keep them in the refrigerator at home.
This process is banned in UK, the EU and many other countries, so eggs are displayed on ordinary open shelves and do not have to be refrigerated, unless you want to keep them for an extended period.
I've never seen a nice shinny egg 😆
Which is why whenever I buy a fridge, the first thing I do is remove the egg compartment from the door tray.
Only the USA needs those things.
In Australia we generally keep our eggs in the fridge at home because the houses can get extremely hot. But they're in the open in stores since those always have air conditioning.
@@AdrianRussell-h8o egg storage is good for small things in UK & your make up when abroad
It's quite common to find eggs in supermarkets with feathers stuck on 🤷♂️
in the uk chickens are innoculated against salmonella the cost to the farmer is 12 pence per chicken giving you safe meat and safe eggs
For some reason chicken in the usa costs 3-4x more too.
And Americans have to put their eggs in the fridge. We don't in Europe.
Youre naive. Super stupid. Wake UP
Humans are FRUGIVORES. No such thing as SAFE animal products or humane rape, kidnap, confinement, torture and murder of babies
In Australia, we either inoculate their very few cage eggs, which are still produced, basically only really for companies, ironically like McDonalds, hungry jacks, and your bigger restaurant catering business. For general public consumption, probably 80 per cent off eggs 🥚 are free range ( chickens not caged in their lifetime) and then off those free range you have completly organic ( no use of any chemicals that are not already present, and no use of drugs or hormones or adivitives) so this gives us the choice of buying for health non caged eggs ( watch a video if they are not all banned seriously! Of how caged birds life is lived that is what causes the need for the chlorine dip !! Seriously to much writing needed to try and even start explaining how awful for the animal but also for the food produced under constant stress, shitting on top of each other in cages no bigger than they are, where after a couple of weeks of life there legs break and they cannot even shift about .....eh yuk just thinking about it... I live in the food bowl of the country with farms bigger than some American states in land size !! For me to be discussed with animal treatment is saying something. 😮 but yes, just to finish this point off, it is now a case of buying for health and/or animal welfare reasons and $ is applied obviously to the less chickens per hectares & level of organic farming involved as obviously the less birds per hectares using age old techniques to kill of pests ( for example you might need an acid to kill of some bacteria, rather than using a spray off some chemical on the bird, you have the costs involved in using something like a for urguments sake a bi product of lemon production to do the same thing but with more labour, more expense usally, with risk of a treatment not working and loosing upto all of that years animals.)
Again, like others have said & I think it is a greater point than my friend here from the B****** UK has pointed out about the eggs being left out rather than put in the fridge. This is completely possible to do here in australia, and where I live in Northern Victoria in the summer, most days will sit at 40° -46° degrees centregrate, or around 100 F° - 114 F° this being average with much higher and lower temps thrown in, but with only winter being prominent as below 50° F the rest of the year is considered hot to Britain and some parts of Europe. Of course, you can not leave the eggs out in the sun, I have been able to fry an egg of metal objects left in the sun, though.
Stuff it I have already waffled on to much but if anyone makes it this far please give a votes up or reply, as most people don't want to read anything , and would not even read a contract for loan so ... but yeah, if you got this far and you are still with me. I have only just come across this channel whilst watching something else and ofcourse started watching, so I'm 20 videos in and only one comment. I have ended up writing too much as I have found, even as recently as 2 months ago, whilst on holiday and surrounded by Americans on a very high level expensive, very low number of passenger to staff and ship size cruise, as I had said I would never do a cruise as they are a floating vector of illness, as they are all run for Americans so it is all supersize , big buckets of food, served in big bamereies no thanks. But the Americans are so annoying to travel with as they really do have the most warped idea of the reality of the world.
There are ofcourse degrees on these things and not all Americans are the same, but with food they wanted the best of the best ingredients but they want large sizes, they want to be over the top fussed over ( they have picked this up from the most annoying travels in the world the highly opinionated, highly wealthy, highly conservative but sexually & behaviourally questionable upper crust British couples or single men).
So all of this links into every video I have watched with these creaters, and it is something more Americans need to desperately wake up to , is that America is not the centre of the world and even in countries with no free and open press , have more idea of what is going on outside of there country than Americans do.
So I noted this :
* all topics of discussion if unfortunately seated with them are Americans centric to the extent that unless you as a "foreigner " are aware of the state politics and the ins and outs of the way people from different states interact with each other, then you are totally and completly lost in the conversation, and allthough on holiday in this case in spain, Portugal, France, Holland and Belgium ( 3 weeks of cruise amongst 2 1/2 months) made those three weeks long as they had done little research into life in any of those countries and don't listen to the advice on behaviour , so if someone in the group was going to do something that would spit in the face of the hospitality of the people of that country it was Americans, as what happens in America should be how it is done everywhere.
* Food was a massive one like I said they want the best of the best, but don't have the palet for it, and so you end up with expensive ingredients going into blanded down dishes for there tastes. Don't get me started on steak 😤.
Look to much to much written f*ck , so 🤷 summary: the "grown" steak that is being made now and the next big thing to get beef cattle in particular off the paddocks world wide due to the methane produced. I Swear to God I would love to do an experiment to test this, as it is conpletly on world view and how Americans think compared to most other nations. Get 11 people from around the world to try this test tube meat 🍖, and for the 12th person make them American and let them ask a question in whatever order you like, where as most others first thought would be to question the safety , long term and short term safety, the ethics, the direction it might take all food production, the American will always be the one that would ask " So if I have it right and you are growing steak, so you must control its size, shape, texture etc. So does that mean that the super fatty steak I like that at best you can cut to 350 to 500gms, awsome so you can grow me to order a New York Strip steak with all the most tasty bits like fat increased x 5 what an animal would ever produce and you can grow it for me to 2kg but grow it all as a NY steak ? No cutting ? Awsome I will buy this technology !!
The
The US does use growth hormones to feed the cows that are banned to use on livestock in Europe!
Thats why US beef actually are not imported here but organic meat can be imported from the US!
Crazy that a country with privatised health care for its citizens feeds them such unhealthy food, whereas countries with socialised healthcare makes sure food is healthier 🤔
Private healthcare and Big Pharma profits from an unhealthy population and so unhealthy food is incentivised!
It's almost as though it's in the interest of the government to keep their population healthy when they also provide healthcare.
Food industry and pharma are symbiotic in the USA one is trying to kill you while the other is offering health care KERCHING.
Of course in the us you need people to get sick bcs sick people = profit for private healthcare in eu sick people = a lot of cost for government so they don’t want you to get sick so they help you
Well the pharma and food is self regulated. So work hand in hand. Great profit for pharma..
We have skittles but ours have natural colourings. Even if you make your own bread it’s the flour that’s bleached. Our eggs don’t need to be refrigerated because we don’t bleach them so they still have their natural coating which protects against salmonella and we don’t bleach our chicken either, cooking chicken properly will kill the bacteria so there is no need to bleach them. Your bread has so much sugar it’s actually classed as a dessert and your McDonalds fries have 14 different ingredients where as ours only have 3.
Bread is so easy to make and the one thing bread does not need is sugar xD
My mum used to put a teaspoon of sugar in with yeast to get it started. Perhaps modern yeasts don't need to be " started".
@@geoff1201 the yeast 'ate' the sugar, so it didn't end up in the bread.
Yeast needs the sugar in order to ferment, which makes bread dough rise and beers use a lot of yeast too which turns the sugars into alcohol.
And yet brioche burger buns are becoming the preferred option here in the UK and they are full of sugar.
@@crackpot148And are strangely artificial tasting and “feel” kind of weird to eat. I really don’t like brioche breads.
Many of the American products sold in the UK have different ingredients to the US. Chickens in the UK are some of the safest anywhere in the world due to the increased diligence of the farmers. This also applies to all the other livestock produced.
In Germany we regularly eat raw minced pork meat for breakfast. And we can do that without danger because regulations around selling that type of raw meat are extremely strict and can only be sold on the day it's made. So delicious!! Never had a problem ever after eating that type of meat!
Also when I was in the US... California to be precise I constantly had the taste of chlorine in my mouth... from the meat and to water which was the worst offender. Beverages, mostly soft drinks with all that unnecessarily ice thrown in made me incredibly thirsty. Only after buying 100% juice that taste was gone. Anything that touched water tasted like chlorine.
Also baking your own bread will only protected you from some of the additives since some are going directly into the flour and the grain used is also very different.

The question is if the Food companies can change their products to comply with UK and EU rules, why can't they change their products they sell in US to the same that they sell in UK or EU
Probably because of greed. When it comes to EU they have to comply. In the US they can cut the cost at the expense of consumers health
@@moondaughter1004which is crazy when u think about it, because the whole purpose of things like the FDA should be the safety and healthiness of the consumer
@@andj0810 The FDA has people that go into the food ir medicine industry to work there, or go from the food or medicine industry to then work in the FDA. It's why there are workarounds when it comes to Food Safety standards there. Lot of bribery and collaboration with different industries.
It shows that rules work. The companies won't leave a regulated market out coz every Dollar is a Dollar, but If you don't regulate, they will do anything possible to increase profits. But many Murricans I have encountered would call this socialism, which is, of course, bad....
There is food coloring in Swiss rolls because they basically have no color without the food coloring.

Its like adding Butyric Acid to your chocolate, particularly Hershey bars.

Here is something you may not know. When you see, Grass Fed Beef, doesn't mean it spent its life eating Grass. Cattle only have to eat grass for two months to be called Grass Fed. That means it may have been eating corn and other grains for fourteen months and the last two eating Grass.
Also, take a look at Wonder Bread next time you're in the store. 11% of the loaf is in fact sugar. In the UK, the standard is between 1-2% of natural sugars, not added sugar.
11% Sugar? Damn thats not bread thats cake XD
I’m a New Zealander and I moved to Australia for work back in 2009. That was the first time I had come across “grain fed beef”. I was quite shocked eating in a restaurant and reading the menu where it appeared to be extolling grain fed steak as the best meat. It didn’t take me long to work it out that any grain fed steak was flavourless. I only ate totally grass fed meat after that!
associating regular bread with something sweet is wild to me haha
Reference Mountain Dew: A video I watched on UTube a little while featured an American visitor in the UK complaining that the Mountain Dew he'd bought here in the UK didn't taste like it does in the US.
He was actually missing the banned ingredient.
It's really frightening what the US consumer is being told on a daily basis. The worst thing is that not everyone knows what is contained in their (perhaps daily) purchases. Because not everyone informs themselves about it or knows what is in it.
And the food industry sells it all every day without any scruples in the supermarkets.
American citizens are really walking a very dangerous line, and they are taking the hit.
And another point, in no other country in the world are there as many fat and overweight people as in the USA, caused by these chemicals and harmful additives.
In the US, if you prove that it's unsafe then we won't allow it , the UK and EU, unless you can prove it is safe, then it's not allowed.
US farming has been trying to get it's agriculture products into the EU for decades the issue is you don't produce anything natural even milk the cows are genetically designed to produce more product to the detriment of walking. Beef is packed full of growth hormone eggs are washed & stored in fridges because the reduced ability of the shell to resist bacteria.

One of the most common questions I read from Americans is why we don’t refrigerate our eggs in 🇬🇧…in the US, the eggs are washed after they’ve been laid…the chemical washing actually washes off the natural protective coating making them susceptible to bacteria. We do not, allowing us to store them at an ambient temperature. If you refrigerate eggs and then keep taking them out of the fridge, you also run the risk of condensation forming on the outer shell which in turn can penetrate the shell and contaminate the egg.
nope, the condom water does not matter. If the eggs are unwashed, condensation does not cause anything. This is due to the difference in temperature between the refrigerator and the outside temperature, but has no effect on the eggs.
@@baramuth71 nope!!! Eggs stored in a cold temperature undergo condensation when exposed to room temperature, promoting the growth of bacteria and therefore potentially contaminating the egg. I’d rather follow health organisation advice V’s yours!!
Orange juice: In Germany when you see a bottle which says "Orangensaft" then it is 100% orange juice without additional sugar or other ingredients. When there are other ingredients than it must not be named "Orangensaft". It may be named "Orangennektar", "Orangen Fruchtsaftgetränk" or similar which translates to "orange nectar", "orange fruit juice drink". This way it is obvious what is pure orange juice and what is "modified". The same applies to other fruits.
Hand crafted bread rolls are just made of a handful ingredients: water, flour, yeast, salt ... no sugar needed. And that´s what - for me - good food stands for. Less but all natural ingredients .. while the taste is improved naturally, for example by using selected flour and let the dough rise for 12 hours or more. Our local bakery does it this way. (surely not every bakery) That´s not hearsay. I did electrical stuff at the bakery and saw how they prepared the dough in afternoon to be baked the next day.
For sure we use lots of ingredients to make things taste "better". Like pure vanilla, natural cinnamon, natural herbs .. and so on. Again: not every food is made this way, for sure there are "cheap", industrial products of any kind.
Raw food: Sushi consists of raw fish. There are delicious raw marinated fish dishes. Tatar is raw meat, raw eggs are often used in the original dessert “Tirami su”. Original "Emmentaler" cheese is made from unheated milk. All very tasty. I eat them every now and then.
Great comment!
Glad you did this one - in the US, anything is allowed as an additive by the FDA until it is proved to be dangerous - in the UK/EU, the onus is on the manufacture/supplier to show it is safe BEFORE it is allowed to be used! 😊
Can I just say, as a first time watcher, i absolutely love your backdrop. The stone wall, the french doors/windows in the centre showcasing the weathered wooden fence and green vegetation. It looks fantastic.
American chocolate cannot be sold as chocolate in Europe as it does not contain enough cocoa solids
One of the chemicals makes it taste like Vomit
Part of American freedom is the freedom companies have to put whatever they want into the food, or free to deny benefits.
Fun fact: My collegue, who used to work in food quality regulatory body told me a story that when we were joining EU a lot of people were not happy with the regulations coming from EU. But not due the reason everyone would think. They were unhappy because they thought EU regulations were too liberal and relaxed and the food would not be clean enough. And I must say that there is something legit with this claim as I remember the food from the 90s and early 00s and the difference in quality is very noticeable
Fact, my hairy butt. That's bs and you probably know that it is. Were you around on 1st of January 1973? I was, I was almost 25 years old.
On joining the EEC food standards in the UK had to be raised to meet EEC regulations.
Sure there was resentment among food manufacturers and processors, farmers and large grocery chains because it was thought that costs to them would increase.
Then there was that good old British ailment, xenophobia with so many people (but then still a minority) being particularly resentful at the UK, "...being told what to do by foreigners".
Decades of lies told by the Daily Fail, News of the Screws and other rightist rags about the EEC/EU fuelled British exceptionalism and xenophobia to the extent that when presented with "Cameron's Folly" the UK narrowly voted to leave the EU, to this country's great cost.
Now it is starting to dawn on some of the slightly more than half of our populace who were benighted enough to vote to leave the EU that the UK is now really small beer in terms of world power and influence and that being outside the EU has led to our position in terms of international trade becoming extremely weak.
there is hope ;) I work for a Dutch company that makes food colouring from natural sources, like carrots, beets etc. and the US is a growing market.....so hopefully all unnatural colouring will be gone in the future
That's what I dislike about the labels that state 'No artificial colouring', most people fail to realise that artificial colourings are replaced with 'Natural' colourings, but they are still artificial to the product.
Bread is quite easy to make: flour, water, yeast and salt; perhaps some sugar to start the yeast, maybe some oil to prevent sticking, and then plenty of trial and error.
Bread is easy to make. Just make a basic dough that includes salt, sugar and yeast. No silly additional nonsense. So much better then anything you get from a supermarket.
Ever seen "why Europeans hate the taste of American chocolate"?
I can imagine the US banning certain European foods because they aren't toxic enough & don't have the potential to kill you. I feel sorry for the citizens of the US.
American milk is just white water when mericans come to uk and taste real milk it always impresses them, real bread too.
Raw garlic and non heat treated honey is how I get over a cold quickly
You have to ad fresh ginger and lemon juice.
Hiya. "How The US Ruined Bread" is a good YT vid to watch. Lasts about 16 minutes. Stay safe. All the best to you.
They grow orange and purple cauliflower. You can buy the seeds online.
if you have a dutch oven (croc pot) then look up no knead bread recipes ,its really easy to get great bread.
I remember when I went on vacation to California with my family. Like all the restaurants we went to had signs saying their food could potentially cause cancer. That's absolutely crazy
The cost of food/groceries is simply obscene in the US. All European countries have much better value for money with groceries.
The food is fresh, clean and for meat-eaters the animals are treated way better than in the US.
I am from the US, I moved to England a decade ago and the food quality is staggering for half the price on fresh produce.
Thankyou.
For a French person to hear that English food is of good quality is worse than a nuclear apoclypse. Oh God how can anyone think that? God, you are very cruel.😢😢
@@CROM-on1bz Don't talk rubbish. We have lovely food in the uk you just have to leave London and all the tourist traps to find it. If you look at any foreign visitors videos that visit the uk they all say the food is good. Your probably another country who has been brainwashed into thinking we have bad food. Come here and try some and then say its horrible.
@@CROM-on1bz As if French food is "good quality"! Lmao!
@@AutoAlligator It's just the only cuisine listed as a World Heritage Site, so your pathetic little troll comments..
You should check the difference between USA-ian Coca-cola which uses corn syrup where as other countries uses sugar, obviously to much sugar isn't good for you but check out what corn syrup does to people to.
Oh, you want to learn how to make your own bread? Here's an easy recepie for you:
2 cups of roomtempered water
3 cups of flour
1 oz of yeast
1 teaspoon of salt
Mix water and yeast. Add the flour and salt. Mix until the dough is smooth. Let the dough rest under a light blanket for 1 hour, or in the fridge over the night (if you want fresh bread in the morning). Once rested, turn the oven on to 450 F (225 C) and portion out the dough to fist size buns on a baking sheet. Once the oven is hot, bake for 10-15 minutes. Done.
US coke can't be sold in the EU since the sweetener is corn syrup. Corn syrup is basically in almost everything in the US, since it's cheap. There are a few side effects, though. And thus EU coke and other US beverages from Coca Cola or Pepsi is made with sugar (usually from sugar beets).
I found your question regarding animal hygiene and what the answer is to the problem super intriguing. I think there is no simple answer but a lot hat we as consumers can do. Like eat less or no meat. In my family we have biweekly schedule of meat week, veggie week, fish week, veggie week. Rinse and repeat. And if its meat week, doesn't mean we eat it every day. It means we have one or two meat meals during the week, the rest is, again vegetarian or sometimes vegan. Part of the issue in my eyes is the high demand for meat which incentivises mass production. But there are ofc more layers to it. Low meat prices forcing farmers to cut corners, a lot of food waste through pacakge deals and insane portion sizes. It's complicated.
G'day Guys! Greetings from Down Under! Here all packaged foods MUST display a health star rating on the packaging which means everything in a package from frozen veg. to bread to cereals etc etc That is in addition to needing a detailed list of ingredients! Cheers!
You guys are great. So thoughtful and yet so funny.
Guys what's good for cough I know from grandma and doing for my kids, is onion tea with lemon and honey, just peel the onion cut in two and boil covered and leave it sit a little after, and you drink obviously only the liquid😊. Also propolis spray if you can find is very good for sore throat, that one i could find it i think at healthy planet here in Canada, but i know about it from mom we used it a lot back home in Europe, Romania
GMO causes concern in Europe because it is felt that we don't know yet the real outcomes from growing GMO crops. For example, they can be modified to increase the yield or the amount of a specific mineral or vitamin but it is not really known how that affects other creatures. Would a more nutritious crop make any insects that eat it bigger, stronger and more resilient too?
We have a TV doctor here (UK) who just tells everyone that when you are shopping, you should look at the ingredient list of each product and if it has an ingredient that you don't have in your kitchen, avoid it.
It is a lot more expensive but I do try and buy organic products as much as possible.
We bake our own bread. Great straight out of the oven but goes off real quick. No preservatives.
Once you make your own it's spooky to see just how long supermarket bought bread lasts 😬😳
I am a single person but I love my bread maker, 455 grams flour, 2 teaspoons yeast 2 teaspoons salt and 360mls warm water and 3 hours later fresh bread
You two are such lovely people. Jess is a contagiously big sunshine. Truly sharing positive vibes. All the best to you and your families.
20:37 in eu to call something "juice" you cannot add any sugar to it. If you add sugar then you can call it nectar or syrup but not juice
In the 1980s/90s I worked in a job where a team of us had to visit the New York office every 3 months for a week. Fed up with the illness rates after our return the Board switched it over so the NY team had to come to us and bring their computers with them. Extreme? Maybe but none of them got sick after a week staying near Windsor .
Three things (no. 2 isn't strictly related to this video but to food choices in general):
1) As a children's nutritionist: *Do NOT give honey to kids under the age of 1!* Honey may contain the bacteria Clostridium Botulinum that causes *fatal* botulism in infants because their system is not yet ready to fight it. So please expose them to pollen etc. in other ways.
2) The term "light". All it means is that it's lighter on fat than the standard product from that specific company. The normal product from one brand may be even lighter on fat than the light product from another brand so read the labels.
3) Standard US sliced white bread contains approximately six times as much sugar as the EU equivalent so it's no wonder if you think it tastes sweet. 😅
US Coke is made with High Fructose Corn Syrup. UK Coke is made with beet sugar. The EU has not banned High Fructose Corn Syrup, but it limits how much can be used, so Coke changed it's recipe for the EU. Also the chicken thing, Now the US is a big country, if anyone could do free range chickens, you got the land, more barns less chickens in each for better hygene etc. Then they would not need the chlorine wash. And could be allowed for export.
Especially important for free-range chickens where chickens can roam freely and pick out the seeds.
Raw beef is good if it's from safe source. Tho in my country we always eat it and drink strong alcohol at same time just to make sure it's safer 🤣
If you understood what all the E numbers meant or the characteristics of the ingredients yiou would never eat "fast food" again.
Ireland in 2020 ruled that the sugar content in Subway bread was too high to be categorised as bread.
Subway got slammed in the UK because of the ingredients in their bread. I forget how many years ago, but it might even be more than a decade, it was the level of trans fats added to their bread which came under scrutiny.
Here in Ireland Subway bread is categorised as confectionary because the sugar content is so high!
I started making my own bread during the pandemic. I went online to find some teachers and Bake with Jack has become my go to for all things bread. Amazingly, home baked bread needs just flour, water, yeast and a little salt (I leave the salt out). You can add other ingredients as your skills improve. My first loaf was a bit heavy but I still ate it. My second loaf was better, and I continued to improve with each loaf. Try it and don’t give up! 👍😃😋😋. Don’t start with sour dough, treat that as an advanced level.
Salt is a must, otherwise it tastes bland. You just shouldn't overdo it
@@baramuth71 I’m on a lo so diet so I need to cut it from wherever I can, and store bought bread is like 200mg per slice. I need the sodium to be where I can’t remove it, so I can count it.
Carrots do not benefit your eyesight, during the Second World War the Germans could not understand how British pilots could be so accurate in night raids, of course the answer was radar. To confuse them propaganda was put out that the pilots ate lots of carrots to enable them to see better in the dark like rabbits. I am amazed that Americans still believe that you can get better night vision if you eat carrots ! 😂😂😂😂
am glad you two are awake to this crap... good people
If you can get first break wheat, on non improved bread flour. Go for it. My finnish ancestors made loaves of hard bread called Jot, with flour, either white or wholemeal. Using only water. Get a bowl, put in the flour and start with less water, add just enough to bring the flour together. Lay on a flat tray, with some bake paper. Try to form a rough loaf shape. About 4 inches high, flatten the ends, tying to keep the "loaf" high down the middle. Bake until the outside is golden. Cut slices and butter one at a time, not so good using 2 for a sandwitch, open sangas are more practical here. Put a clean tea-towel around your loaf, or keep it in an air-tight tin after it's cold. You can also do a fruit loaf, just put a cake portion of dried fruit in your small packet of flour. Break up the fruit and cover it with flour first, then add water. Try to poke fruit inside of the loaf, so it burns less. Bake as before, slice and butter... you may like this toasted. The uk and aus have made self-raising flour since forever, it has bicarb soda or baking powder in it. That can make your Jot a bit lighter? If you really want to make bread, you can buy a bread maker. Commercial Bakers told me to eat day old bread, there is a natural chemical in it which goes away after 1 day. You can have some hot, just don't have fresh stuff exclusively. You may become gluten intolerant. All the best.
My aunt uses toast which she rubs garlic into for sore throats, butter makes it taste a bit better, but 1-a- day makes my colds much less horrible in 3 days.
Those that carry on about cows and flatulence, think about what cows eat, they eat grass, ok. What happens to people who eat vegetables only? They get strong flatulence. So would you rather the cows with it, or the people? 6 of 1 and half-a-dozen of the other. Personally I get too weak from not eating meat. I have a long list of things I'm food intolerant to, that are supposed to be good for you, starting with onion=migraines, and cabbage=bad wind and stomach aches. It's personal choice, do what works for you. Just try to limit the additives, and have other foods in moderation. Grate your own cheese, they put something in to keep grated cheese in separate bits. Your cheese can be hard to melt, particularly parmesan, the fda lets them put shaved wood in it.
Australia hasn't banned it fully but highly discourages Yellow American Cheese from being consumed there because of what is used as a colorant, Annatto. It's linked to bursts of anger and hyperactivity in children and adults.
There are so many good bread/roll recipes on RUclips, I make a lot of recipes from a retired chef from the north east of the UK called John Kirkwood, well worth checking his recipes!
BTW I love your channel 👍🏻
The chicken farms' houses are horribly stinky and over crowded. A friend of my daughter who worked for one week in a chicken house said they made rounds 4 times a day to pick up dead chickens.
Brit here. I do know of one food that is banned in the US and that's black pudding. Not sure exactly why, but it is banned. I think it's because it contains pigs blood. That doesn't really make sense though because if you have a rare or medium rare steak, some blood does come out.
Haggis is also banned, the FDA don’t trust Americans to follow cleaning procedures necessary to make lungs safe to eat.
I think Haggis is banned as well.
Erm actually it doesn't, all blood is removed from meat at the slaughter house. What you and millions of others ( including myself until I learned this fact) think is blood, is actually a red protein call myogoblin. When myogoblin is mixed with water it runs and everyone thinks this is blood, it's not, look this up if you don't believe me
In the UK they introduced white skittles.
Like someone else was saying, its easy to get started with making bread, for a beginner though i would recommend getting some high quality flour, its easier to get a good result when you start out then. The web is your friend in this case there is a billion recipes for bread just pick one that you think looks interesting and start experimenting, you will not regret it. My personal recommendation to start with is to try making some ciabatta bread for sandwich, its very easy to get a good result and you only need good flour prefered with over 12% protein 15% if you can find it a little yeast and some salt thats it, there are some tricks involved connected with how you handle the dough and bake the bread but you can find that in all recipes online.
17 years married, I would not have guessed. You guys have great chemistry, and that makes for a long lasting marriage. Me and my wife are at 20 years next year...
With reference to the US Bread, it contains so much Sugar, that in the UK it would be classed as Cake.
Sitting here in East Tennessee drinking a MtnDew.... lol. 1 in morning then water rest of day. Don't like coffee.

Hi. Nothing is easier than making your own bread. 1 kilogram of all-purpose flour, 20 grams of fine table salt, in a separate bowl mix 13 grams of dehydrated yeast with 500 cc of warm water. Pour it into the flour, add a couple of tablespoons of corn oil. and knead until you obtain a smooth dough (10 minutes of kneading). Let it rise for 50 minutes covered so that it does not lose moisture and in a warm place. Then it is divided into buns of approximately 800 grams. Shape it or put it in a mold and let it rise for another 45 minutes. Baked at medium temperature 170 C°. for about 40 to 50 minutes and that's it. homemade bread without preservatives. and it is not necessary to add sugar. whole wheat bread is the same recipe but with 20 gr. of yeast. It is a life change. Oh, and to make pizza it is the same recipe, only it is divided into 400 gram buns, stretched, shaped and tomato is added, it is pre-cooked in the oven for 15 minutes and then the topping is added. You can do it.💪
13 g of dehydrated yest for 1 kg of flour is an awful lot! I would use, at the very least, half that quantity (or even 1/3).
@@lellab.8179 I usually use 10 grams of dry yeast. but the extra is so that it rises well. Trust me, I have been the owner of a cafe/pastry shop for 10 years and among other things we offer homemade bread toast.
The bread is excellent and has no yeast taste.
In Germany, we have a dish called Mettbrötchen. It's basically a bread roll with raw minced and seasoned pork on it, often topped with raw onions or scallions. And it is perfectly safe to eat, as long as you consume the Mett on the day you buy it, because there are a lot of regulations and inspections in place.
It's not about being raw, it's about control and safety, which can be achieved.
Raw pork! That's definitely a no!
No raw honey for babies (botulism). Also instead of fruit juices, you should just eat fruits because you get fiber from it. That way the sugar is not as bad. But yeah broccoli is still way healthier than fruits, but not many children like it.
Canadian here, about fifteen years ago the candy (similar to M&M’s) called Smarties removed the artificial colours, they used to be bright colours. Now they are pastel colours, it’s good they did but I noticed a different taste and didn’t like it at first Lol, didn’t take long to adjust tho as have liked them since I was kid and missed them too much.
Steak tartare is commonly available throughout Europe and is both safe and delicious if prepared properly from quality beef. The problem in the US is all the rubbish that is injected into American cows to make them reach maturity quicker.
Greetings from Germany!✌️
In the USA you can throw stuff in the food until it is proven dangerous.
In most other countries you can juse stuff when you proof it is safe.🤷
The thing I love about living in the UK is the food quality, it is illegal to put anything fake in food unless you put it on the package that it is inside the product. And because we the consumer wouldn't buy those products the companies are Proud to put 100% Approved on their labels. Chicken which is caged is banned so Farmers are Proud to put Free Range on the packages. I recently went to Miami and between me, my cousin and our nephew we didn't enjoy most places we ate
We have Skittles here in Britain, they are a British sweet/candy that we don't put the artificial colours in. The brand was bought by an American company and messed with it, I think we did have the same ones as in America for abit but we reverted back to the original because of food/health studies and laws.
guys, sour dough bread is not a long process, the start is a good few days, because you have build you yeast starter, once you have that use abit and keeping feeding it, you can have a couple on the go,
its a bit like making youghart, you only need the starter pot, each batch you keep some back as your starter, and keep making, every month or so you may, start it again, I worked in idian resturant, they make there own
I remember Subway in the Ireland isnt't allowed to call their bread "bread" because there is so much sugar in it, the supreme court ruled it basically falls under the cake category.
And the GMO bit, it has less to do with specific dangers to the human body, and more with the effect on the species of plant in the long run, as in changing DNA and enhancing certain qualities will probably unintentionally also increase certain vulnerabilities from certain bugs/weather/diseases etc. potentially destroying a whole species in one go, and saying Oops! won't fix that.
You should watch a video on things that are banned in the UK but not in the U.S and vice versa.
'There are so many human beings to feed, what is the solution?' - well, one of the big issues is food waste. You don't have to go back more than a handful of decades, and chickens, for example, were bought whole, it fed a family, and the carcass was then used to make soup and so on. The raw ingredients are now processed in thousands of different ways, creating products that never existed before. Mechanically recovered meat. Not a thing when the whole bird is sold, but when it is processed, it exists. It has food glue added to it, and compressed and made into chicken nuggets for example.
The commercialisation of food, particularly in the west, is out of control, and food waste is one such indicator.
Personally, I have completely changed the way I shop and the food I buy and consume. I buy raw ingredients and cook from scratch most meals. I know what is in my food. I don't buy mass produced crap, or processed food, the vast majority of the time. Probably why I've lost a boat load of weight in the last year.
I also stopped drinking soda. 90+% of what I drink now is water. Thought it was going to be boring, and dull compared to soda, but coming up to a year now, and it's just not an issue.
why can colored M&Ms be okay while Skittles are banned? Well because food colorants are legion and it depends on which of them you use and in what ammount you use them.
It is not that other countries do not tint their food, but they use colorants which have been improved as being safe instead of containing something that may harm your health.
And btw...... there is a big ingredient difference between Coca Cola in the US and in Europe. Ask people who have been abroad....... it tastes alike but far from "absolutely similar"! The company had to make concessions for the allowance to sell it here.
American truckers used to use Coca cola to clean their windshields .🇬🇧
Actually, skittles have more vivid colors due to those dyes compared to m&m's that have a bit duller. In short, they are sacrificing customer health for a bit of vibrance.
On the topic of GMOs. Basically everything we eat these days could be classified as genetically modified. Dairy cows have been selectively bred to produce more milk, carrots used to be purple and bitter but they were selectively bred to be orange and sweet, bananas have had their seeds shrunk through the same process... there's loads of examples but these are the ones I can think of off the top of my head
Here's an example of the differences between the same UK & US food products. McDonalds fries : US - 19 ingredients (including multiple chemicals). The UK - 5 ingredients (incl 2 types of non-hydrogenated oils (sunflower & rapeseed))
Do you know where that carrots are good for your eyesight thing comes from?
In World War 2, there was an overabundance of carrots from people growing their own vegetables, and the government played on the success of 1 particular night pilot and his number of victories. This was actually due to onboard radar, but it was secret, so they did something totally silly and said it was due to the vitamins in carrots and said this pilot ate lots of carrots... 😂
And that's where it comes from.
Also... the Germans heard about it and began giving their pilots carrots 😂😂😂😂😂

@@nicksykes4575
That's the man
Actually carrots contain a lot of Vitamin A which is also known as retinol. Retinol genuinely helps you to see better in dim light.
So they weren’t doing something silly by saying carrots help you see in the dark. It’s 100% true. That’s why saying the pilots were eating carrots fooled the Germans, because it made sense
@Spiklething
Yes, they do... but nowhere near enough to give some extraordinary night vision. It was just a way of conning the Germans so we could keep our technology secret.

Dont forget distance of transportation....UK is alot smaller so food and ingredients have to travel alot shorter distances so less preservatives are needed in UK food
I was in 2022 in NY for vacation with my family. When I got home to Sweden. I was sick for over 1 weeks because of the food and water bootle. The bread was like eating rubber.
@ 20:36 I have no idea what you define as juice, but there is no added sugar in orange juice here in Norway that I know of. Natural sugar is not that bad. You'd get that from eating fruit.
