And free trade would hurt UK farmers and traffic lights. Or something like that.
But the Halal butcher shops and Eid mass slaughter celebrations are A-Okay.
Let them eat cake.../s
I thought Fat Shaming was Haram in the United Kalifatstan...
Any Brit that turns up his snoot at burgers, barbecue or American Bacon can go back to the EU.
Otherwise, will trade pulled pork or brisket for an SMLE in good condition.
Then we look at all the photos of the millions of their citizens living in their free Council homes, getting thousands of pounds of "free" money, while weighing 500lbs. I see many photos of British people and it seems they have a bigger weight problem than we have.
Could have said “Someone Left The
Cake Out In The Rain” but it took
so long to bake it, I don’t know
if I can take it. I’ll never have
that recipe again.
I don’t think anyone cares if Britons
are a little overweight....
People buying things, how does that work.
That’s exactly what Trump is talking about. The EU(and the UK) have been ripping off the US for decades with these non tariff barriers that keep American products out of their markets while they continue to dump their garbage in America. Time to remedy this anomaly and stop this nonsense.
If you have high animal welfare standards and then import from a country with low ones, that does put the local farmers at a disadvantage and essentially negate the impact of the standards.
That simply is so.
Right—they might get fatter, but their teeth could get better.
This was like reading a story on global warming. Sky is falling hysterics.
They should allow us to send some food to them. The poor things have been eating guts (”offal”) to get by.
About the meat the question is about steroids and antibiotics given to farmed animals.
They are butthurt that despite all efforts the US is still not seeing “mad cow disease”.
Any time you raise a large amount of animals in close proximity you’re going to be using antibiotics, immunizations, etc. to preserve herd health. And, just so you know, that ‘organic’ label doesn’t mean the animal has never been given antibiotics - organic rules allows them for treatment of a sick critter. Organic also allows for immunizations.
Steroids approved for use in the US have ‘zero day’ withdrawal. Hormones can only be given at a specific levels at specific life stages, miniscule compared to the natural hormones the animal naturally produces throughout its life.
And, just to throw a nanner-nanner out there to the stuffy shirts calling American meat unhealthy - In 2013, it was reported in the Daily Mail that in the prior year (2012) over 580,000 Brits caught campylobacter poisoning, 18,000 hospitalized, with 140 dead. Blamed on cheap chicken from the very same country with the ‘higher standards’ than others.
*shrug* we ARE fat.
