Its almost like countries with unhealthy lifestyles like eating and exercise choices are going to spend more on healthcare and not live as long.... shocker.
Freedom means the freedom to spend more money than is reasonable on yoru health and being able to make unhealthy choices if you want, sure.
Well I'm sayijg the freedom to eat unhealthy foods that give you these health issues later. As I understand it, the #EU has more stringent food regulations than the #USA does, for example.

It probably has less to do with food regulation and more to do with lifestyle.
I think it's probably a lot of both

Yea strong disagree there... some random preservative that is considered safe int he USA isnt going to make people fat or die early, if there was something like they are likely to make it illegal. I mean hell even triglycerides arent legal here.
I can already spot this article is incorrect in the first picture. It claims american fries use hydrogenated oil. But All hydrogenated products have been illegal in the USA for some time now.
The law that made hydrogenation illegal was passed a long time ago, but had time for manufacturers to switch. So it wasnt in full force till september 2018.. but for 6 years now the USA has had no hydrogenated products of any kind.
Dont beleive random websites on the internet, it will make a liar out of you every time :)
@freemo @GossiTheDog @malwaretech So the article isn’t right about anything?
I wouldnt know, when i see inthe header a glaring error that is central to the whole article and the central example I dont tend to read the rest of the article.
Why would I treat an article as an authoritative source when its lead-in header isnt even correct about the fundamentals?
@freemo @GossiTheDog @malwaretech That’s a good point. I glossed over it and didn’t read it too deeply but there’s a lot there about quite a variety ingredients and preservatives and whatnot that it said were banned in #Europe but not the #USA. I don’t think that article was lying about all of them.
Nahhhhhhhhhhh
