The U.S. usually has the cheapest, low quality ingredients of any country.

Is it any wonder our country has become so stupid? Garbage In, Garbage Out.

[nickcarraway]

Yes.

You’d probably have to consume a truckload of red food coloring every week of the year before it would harm you.

I used to love Cadbury chocolate but some time ago they started making the chocolate in the US instead of importing the candy.

The quality is not the same.

Aldi has a lot of good German chocolate.

So . . . are Swedish Fish illegal in Sweden?

[Ge0ffrey]

But if you’re an illegal immigrant, or if you glue yourself to the road for a leftwing cause, no problem. Britain is going to hell in a handbasket.

[BipolarBob]

My toenails are turning red from the red Skittles. Should I be worried?

Yup. But then we see constantly on TV how Big Pharma can happily -- and with music! -- sell drugs with absolutely horrendous potential side-effects all it wants. No problem!

The UK prides itself on high food standards

Ok this is a comedy piece

[waterhill]

Wife II and me made some wicked green apple vodkas with jolly ranchers. I’d always put bacon in mine.

"[The Trading Standards inspector] said they'd had reports of us using illegal sprinkles, and I actually laughed by mistake, then realized he was being serious," Get Baked owner Rich Myers told the BBC at the time. "To whoever reported us to Trading Standards, all I have to say is: 'Dear Lord, what a sad little life Jane'."

Even money that an Asian grooming gang is trafficking this Trading Standards inspector's daughter to her Muzzie overlords...

“…. The UK prides itself on high food standards….”

Ha, ha! What a laugh. I was stationed in England in the 70s. Their food was awful.

[dfwgator]

The joke is the food standards in this country.

[Nailbiter]

keep your feet out of the candy bowl, will go a long way to solving your problem

[waterhill]

Those were the days. A few of those and it was on!

Twizzlers

Ranks as a terrible thing to eat. Look at the ingredients...

[Bonemaker]

Those idiots would seize Reese’s peanut butter cups.

[metmom]

My sister was stationed there in the late 70’s and we visited her and I totally agree with your assessment of British food. Except their Yorkshire pudding, at least at the place we had it.

And the Chinese restaurant we ate at was the best I ever had.
