Why are we trading with that lacks our standards of living?

Yet those favorite foods of many who ancestors that came from Europe are not allowed.

The funny thing on many items Europe has higher standard on chemicals, pesticides they don’t allow in their foods and they don’t have the weight issues like America!

You need to read up on the difference between correlation and causation.

Pesticide and chemical content in foods is the cause for there being more overweight Americans today? It isn't caused by the amount of calories we consume vs. the amount of calories we burn?

You're free to believe anything you want but you're not going to find many others, at least those who possess a basic understanding of chemistry and nutrition, who agree with you.

Chew on this --

    Obesity and overweight increasing throughout Europe, all ages

    Obesity rising in Europe, especially in children

    Crisis looms in obesity in Europe, experts say

Not enough sources for you? Want more? I can post any many links on the european obesity problem as you want. Just hand me a number and I'll do the rest.

Follow the money. Nobody gives a shit about anything but the money...including “our” representatives in DC.
