The ban on those gross chicken imports was one of the major points of the US’ declining relationship with Russia under Obama. And then they also banned the US adoption industry from trafficking out kids, and the Dems went full-blown Russophobia.
EU should respond by banning all type of chicken from US
Wait....does that mean Americans are currently consuming chicken thats been washed in chlorine?! How the FUCK is that up to scientific and health standards??
Honestly, given all the cramped factory farms and wide spread disease in poultry factories, it's probably good we chlorine them up. Not to say I'd expect another country with better production methods to want to buy our shitty meat though
Haven't you heard? It rinses away all the covid from the internal organs. If it works for people it's definitely good enough for chickens.
The UK maintains non-science-based standards
Maybe look at who is in charge of your health department before your start complaining about "non-science-based standards"
Now with real bleach - certified Covid-free!
Shut the fuck up Donny, you're out of your element.
If I remember, Project 2025 also wanted to open up the NHS to "foreign competition" too.
It won't stop at just chlorinated chicken.
Why do they want us to eat their chlorinated chicken so badly? Sounds like an evil agenda coming along....
We have our own farmers anyway.
Nigel Farage admitted he would allow American chlorine-washed chicken to be sold in the UK as part of a free trade deal with the US.
So called "nationalist", support local farmers.

Nothing more British than shutting down a local business to reap profit from outsourcing. Just ask Thatcher.

I wasn't born in the US but find myself living here. The food is awful. Cutting corners and padding some pockets, but listeria outbreaks on our food has become a weekly commonplace. Hundreds of recalls a month. The food is so treated its inedible. I cut almost everything out and buy from imported stores as much as possible. Even European brands often have an American version that is full of junk, so I have to read labels so carefully. I wish it wasn't this way. No one here wants this.
Yeah, there’s a phenomenon where stereotypically fat Americans move abroad, and suddenly start losing a ton of weight. Not because their eating habits consciously changed, but simply because the food that was readily available was suddenly so much healthier than when they were in America. Almost as if infrastructure has a huge impact on the public’s health.
Portions in the US tend to just be larger as well. So you're eating larger portions of bad food.
No one here wants this.
I agree with your post otherwise, but clearly the food industry wants things to be the way they are. So, some people want this, and they bought the politicians to make it so.
Didn't this guy also just remove food regulation in USA? Smert move!
"Free market"
"Buy our chicken or you will lose your market here"
How does the chicken cross the Atlantic?
Frozen in vacuum sealed bags, to get to the other side.
We're back to the chicken tax... it's the reason why 'Muricans all drive big pickup trucks:
Nigel Farage admitted he would allow American chlorine-washed chicken
Annnnd there you have it.
generally kinda fucked up to think about raw meat being bulk shipped across oceans anyways
I think it's better than cooked meat which spoils quicker
Oh boy if you think that’s fucked up: They take American chickens, send them to China to process, then ship them back to the USA to sell to us.
Of course, the crazy works both ways: https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/why-is-china-treating-north-carolina-like-the-developing-world-122892/
Whatever is going on in that article, the Carolinas are developing ~~countries~~ states. Most of America is, really.
I have heard Arkansas compared to Cuba and been found similar in terms of economic development.
The only time that doesn't seem f-ed up is when you stand outside the processing plants, here or there...
