The more i read about america and its meat industry the more i am inclined to believe vegetarianism is the most sensible thing any one can do. But now it appears america wishes to force its disgusting habits on the rest of the world by insisting that the sale of chickens laced with chlorine be part of any trade deal with england or the eu. Something that other countries have banned until now because no one wants to eat such crap, Except americans of course.

My question is why is america so prepared to accept such low standards and then try to force those standards on the world. . You allow people to crate wealth by growing animals in conditions so unhealthy that the carcass has to be bathed in chemicals in order to remove harmful bacteria.
Justify not only how you treat chickens but can also demand the right to sell them to others?

Those of us who want to eat safe, healthy food awoke to a nightmare on Tuesday, a chilling interview on Radio 4’s Today programme. Bob Young, chief economist at the American Farm Bureau Federation, made it crystal clear that any US trade deal struck by Theresa May would be contingent on the UK public stomaching imports of US foods that it has previously rejected: beef from cattle implanted with growth hormones, chlorine-washed chicken, and unlabelled genetically modified (GM) foods.
