I think the main difference between the UK and EU/UK is that in the US it has to be proved that an ingredient is bad before it is banned, whereas in the EU/UK ingredients have to be proved safe before they can be put into food.
and to be fair,.. as a consumer.. i like the EU approach more,....
The way you described it reminds me of similiar argument in law systems, guilty under proven innocent or innocent until proven guilty. Seems someone got the subjects confused tho, mixed up food and people, set loose the wrong element.
@@MariachiMak You are so correct with this statement. If we apply the innocent until proven guilty logic to EU/UK consumerism. In the US there are so many things, not just food, but even medication that you can just buy from television adverts that have a huge list of side effects and such but until the company is taken to court and loses the case proving that their product is harmful, it will just remain in the market for consumption. Whereas in the EU/UK products need to prove they are safe for consumption prior to being released to the general public. Your analogy is so unbelievably apt and you have my utmost respect and +10 imaginary internet points, do with them what you will.
Daaaahhhhh
😂 I think you'll find europe Australia Asia etc do prove it with scientific testing and research thats why it's banned 😂 yet USA banned ribena which isn't even bad for you.
German here. About the marketing with bright colors. Me, and I guess a lot others in Europe, find those bright colors suspicious. Suspecious, because they don´t look natural, they look artificial. And we - thankfully - tend to say: the more natural, them more healthy.
Klaus I'm from England and we are the same, anything bright coloured and your mind just goes, chemicals. I think we and probably most of Europe also see bright coloured foods/drinks as targeting children, and also know that certain E numbers means the kids will take hours to come down from being hyperactive.
I remember as a child my parents would refuse to let me eat ice slushies and smurf ice cream as both have verry strong clearly artificial colors. They were fine with me ocassionly eating normal ice cream or even fast food but a line was drawn for these colorfull foods.
Same in Portugal
Exactly.
If someone was advertising glow-in-the-dark food? Does not seem like a good idea.
The logic is the same (if a bit less outragous).
Same in Spain, bright colours in food and drinks are usually a no-no
Re the UK Froot Loops: Noooo, the nettles and spinach aren't flavours, they're natural colourings! He got that one wrong.
Evan gets at least 99% of things wrong.
Only an American would think these are flavours 😂
Also a common misconception that E-number = bad. It's just a list of food additives which incidentally includes almost every vitamin your body needs.
Exactly. They are often artificially flavoured or flavoured with fruit concentrates. Beetroot, spinach etc are for the colours.
@@tomj819yeah, E numbers exist because Europe has a lot of languages and the single market. It would be impossible for someone with an allergy to remember every name for the allergen in each language when goods are sold across borders. There’s this whole ‘natural wellness’ movement though that thinks ‘all chemicals are bad’ and is mostly a pseudoscientific grift. It frustrates me because it makes it harder to get actual bad food practices banned.
I'm from EU. Brightly colored food will only make me suspicious that i'm eating something bad from unknown ingredients so i will not buy it. And i know many people like that.
Also foods with an extra long sell by date as well very suspiscous of it.
Here in the UK. American bread can't be called bread. Due to the sugar content. Here in the UK. American bread would be classed as cake.
One thing that I noticed when I went south from Sweden (Germany, Austria, Italy and then back home through Switzerland and Germany) is that bread is much sweeter than here in Sweden. Are you saying that US bread is EVEN SWEETER than that? 😮😲🫨
Edit: Corrected two brutal spelling errors (or rather swipe-autocorrect-errors):
trust → that
beard → bread
@@johnnyrosenberg9522 it’s can be similar to a brioche 😂 it is vile.
@@johnnyrosenberg9522 Now I am confused, I am Czech and when I lived in Sweden (Skövde) I, and my family, complained that most bread was too sweet for us. I would thought that German bread should be closer to ours, but maybe we talk about different types of breads?
@@sharkt.6135That's confusing to me too. Well, we have more than one type of bread, of course, some are indeed sweet, some are not.
When I was on a road trip to Italy, at one hotel (a small one, looked more like a flat) in northern Italy we were asked what we wanted for breakfast, they said that Scandinavians were known to not like sweet breakfasts very much, which they said was very common in southern Europe, so that's where I got that information from, plus our own observations at all the hotels we stayed at (a different one each night).
Yea, Mediterranean hotels like put up sweet breads and pastry for breakfast and I think a lot of hotels in other parts too for some reason.. Personally, I was talking more about what I can buy from stores on daily basis, like the more typical types of rye breads or Swedish Limpa and could find any non-dark or wholegrain that wasn’t at least little bit sweet, but maybe I gave up to quickly @@johnnyrosenberg9522
My favourite thing about all of these American foods is that Kinder Eggs are banned but soda with cancer additives and chlorinated chicken is fine 😂
And guns 😂
Whenever i have visited the States i couldn't believe how long things last ie: bread . . i live in Spain and we buy our bread daily ( as in France too ) no preservatives.
italy here, usually bread is fine for a couple of day, after that i usually slice it and put on the grill on the fire - then a bit of oil and salt, in the owen or you can wet it too for a sort of salad
And in U.K. too. Or we make our own. Or we freeze the day we buy.
I've watched so many "American reacts" to these type of videos. They're really shocked.
Then just Carry on eating and drinking the same crap they have been all their lives.
A certain "I'm just an average American" went to McDonald's straight after watching one 😂😂
the US will allow a product or additive until it is proved harmful.
europe and the UK will NOT allow a product or additive until it is proved safe.
there's the difference, who cares about it's people more?
Exactly...well said!
I remember the chlorine chicken dispute and there was uproar in the UK, to think chicken was dipped in chlorine and we would have to eat it, was a no -
eggs are also banned because of chemical"s that you use, ours are totally natural,
Im glad we have woken up and now think about the animals and the conditions they live in 🐤🐄🐑🐖
I really do appreciate you learning about our history, and this is just one reason why.
This morning I have an American trying to tell me that the 6th century city of Birmingham UK, and the districts of Hollywood (named after the medieval forest which had a witches coven), and California Birmingham were all named after the American places.
Looks like you have an impossible task to educate the other 300 million Americans about history.
For most Americans "history" is just the last Michael Jackson album. Indeed, education seems almost hopeless, that's why JPS is such a refreshing exception 🙂
At least the New York in America is older than the New York in England!
@@B-A-L new York was originally called new Amsterdam until the British bought it from the Dutch and named it "New" York after the 2000 year old Roman town of York in Northern England. Jps has some great videos on York and he loves the place.
The US is not 2000 years old. It's barely a tenth of that age.
Can you guess why New England is called "New" England?
America is just a 200 year old baby
@@potatusha793 that'll be the Wikipedia entry. I know it well
I'm. 47. My father was born in Quainton, next door to California, Birmingham. I have my family tree dating back 1734 (primary source material in terms of history research). I grew up in Birmingham UK. My great great great gramdfather died in the Aston Union Workhouse in thr late 19th century.....
.... Are you still sure about that wikipedia entry?
Flavell made his money 20.years before the gold rush, which happened in 1840.
He built the California Inn in 1822,which the village is named after.
Hollywood Village, Birmingmam, built on top of the Holly Woods, whicj was the meeting place for the local. Witches coven, and gave the name to the village.
Birmingham itself dates back to 6th century.
Still sure about that Wikipedia entry?
The California Inn was situated at the junction of Alwold Road and Barnes Hill. This building replaced the original pub *of the same name* which stood on the east side of Barnes Hill and was demolished in the 1930s. It has now been demolished with a petrol station built on the site.
Still sure about that Wikipedia entry?
Which part of Birmingham, UK are you from?
My parents used to have free range chickens and the eggs had thicker shells so more protective and the eggs were delicious, much nicer than eggs that weren’t free range.
You can also tell the quality in the yolk colour too. Has much more of the vitamins [esp. D3] and minerals in the egg.
When we had ducks, the shells of the eggs they laid had to be hit with the edge of a knife to open them. The eggshells were so firm. The ducks had the run of the back garden and were shut in a shed at night to protect them from the fox.
I get my eggs from a neighbour who keep chickens in their back garden.
Depends on where you live though. I live close to an industrial area so eating eggs from your own chickens is a no go here as they are contaminated with harmfull chemicals. I used to eat eggs from my aunts chickens as they live pretty much in farm country, but sadly they can't keep chickens anymore because off beech martens.
@@AVDB95 Well you shouldn't have farm animals [which are part of the food chain i.e. eggs in this case] anywhere near an industrial estate. Stands to reason and common sense!
One thing the FDA goes nowhere near is the combination of these chemicals on a daily basis in the diet, they only look at each one in a stand alone scenario.
Do a video on why Brits don't like American chocolate, they knowingly add an ingredient that smells like vomit (their words) its an ingredient that goes back to the war... gross
The added ingredient is actually a chemical that is found in vomit, which is why we associate Herseys and other US chocolate with vomit as it basically is 🤷🏼♀️🤢😬
Nah, I know this video. They are just comparing bad chocolate with even worse chocolate.
Steve and Lindsay in Reacting to my Roots, done a uk v us chocolate tasting, and UK won
They have to use that chemical because they use expired milk in the process of making chocolate
My cousin lived in the US for just over a decade.
He recently came home and said he Couldn't believe the difference in the taste of food/drink. Everything has a fake/artificial taste in the US according to him.
Although he's not got used to fizzy drinks yet. Theirs has so much corn syrup and sugar, that it makes ours taste like water 😂
We do have sodas in the US that uses cane sugar.
I only visited the US once but it’s crazy how fake everything tastes. It’s horrible.
@@marydavis5234 ...Ummm, which? And what is the percentage of standard sodas that use cane sugar to corn syrup?
@@2eleven48 no idea, I don’t drink soda.
@@marydavis5234 ....So funny. You don't drink soda, but still know with authority what the contents are of mainstream sodas. The percentage of cane sugar is minimal in comparison to corn syrup across all forms of soda in the US.
In America from a young age you are told that America is the best country in the world we are not told this in the uk that we are the best country in the world so we ask more questions
Stop spreading rumors, we are not taught that The US is the best country.
Oh yes you are ,I have many American friends and I know this to be a fact by the way they express and react to people who are not american ,and another thing Lots of people in the UK and Europe " resent the so called fact that the first powered flight happened in the all mighty USA ,we in Europe namely the Germans were the first ,they have cast iron proof and documentation ,and dont think it was invented by bicycle mechanics,and the so called congress of the time had the all mighty cheek to sanction it with a kittyhawk statue !

It's refreshing to hear from you guys the disgust at your food practice's in the u.s it's up to your generation to call these things out and not stand for it .😊
The world (or America) needs more Americans like you guys. Thanks for another great reaction (and props to Evan).❤
Why???
My daughter went to work in USA for 3 months. She became very sick after their eating chicken and developed an egg allergy! She worked at Camp America and was in charge of up 30 at a time taking them out on hikes. She had to safely carry all their medications. She was so shocked that pretty much EVERY child had allergies. Loads of medications for all kinds of things. Is that because of food quality (over farming and too many pesticides?) and/or because your Doctors get commissions from pharmaceutical companies?
By comparison in the UK out of 25 kids you might have ONE child with either a medical condition or allergy.
I’ve worked as a teacher for 27 years.
Love Evan and love your videos too
From an old fart Aussie
BTW, these foods are also banned in Australia and NZ
And you think you can't do anything to help, but you actually are by making other Yanks aware of what's going on in your country...
If you ever visit the U.S., do not call anyone a yankee, as it’s an insult and racist to African Americans
This! The more people that learn, and spread awareness the less they'll be able to get away with it. More people will lean towards growing and rearing their own food. Eventually something will have to change.
With regard to animal welfare, think about what happens to the human body when it lives in contant stress, filth and misery. The body become sick.
This is why free-range chickens taste better.
The psychology of food standards is the opposite too.
In the US a food product is considered safe unless proven otherwise.
In Europe a food product has to be proved safe before it is approved for sale.
✌️❤️🇬🇧
Evan gets lots and lots wrong, fruit loops are not "flavoured" with nettles or spinach they are used as colourings
"Did you have your 5 pieces of fruit today?"
"I have 5 bowls of fruit loops. It counts. Has fruit in it"
from france i think lot of people are mistaken about french food : we exel to show off incredible stuff but french people have a tendencies to cook meal that are meant to be just above average because healthy stuff is most of the time boring so we split the meal good + boring making a good meal but most of all a very healthy one .
the goal is not to waste a meal with only very good stuff ! when you could put in more healthy stuff !
and its the trap in american food , that and the lies : i put a chemical to raise the stuff faster , or have a longer shelf life ... dont ! , take your time and just put a date to eat it and avoid useless ( its true it has no other purpose ) chemicals ^^
When I lived in NYC, I couldn't get my head around white bread tasting sweet and butter was either salted or sweetened! 😱 Maybe it was something to do with the FDA permitting all those additives or just the American love affair with sugar? 😲
My partner visited NYC to visit some US friends earlier this year and had the s**ts for the full 5 days there 😂😂😂
We wanted to take a trip to the US all together to take our little one Disney world but after seeing so much about food production we have decided to change our trip plans to Disney Tokyo where we'll be able to find safe food. It's sad 😢 but the best option for us.
Just look at their stomachs...
Every thing is sweeter as going back there was massive subsidys on corn, and as such corn syrup ended up in everything as a sweetener including bread and they don't use even use sugar in American coke it's corn syrup.
Isn't salted butter a thing everywhere? I've never heard of sweet butter but we have Salted butter in France
@@Psukhe_katharos Most butter is salted in the UK, but I don't think it is generally sweetened.
Love how Joel waits for Arturo to respond... cause we know Joel has watched many of these videos and knows all this stuff...
The root of a lot of these issues is lobbying.
Romania here. We are very concern about the E additives in food. We are not buying food too colorfull, with to much sugar and we are always looking at the ingredients and expiration date before we buy something.
Mountain Dew (and many other American foods with a yellow colour) has something called Food Colour (102) it's a synthetic colouring food additive. It is added to a wide range of food products to give them a yellow colour. This colouring is manufactured from coal tar and exists as light orange powder or granules. It is commonly known by the name Tartrazine, which is also known to cause/aggravate Asthma and severe hives, among other things.
There'd not that much we can do about abusing farm animals">
Good job the voters in Europe and UK never said that. We were loud, we wrote to important people, we boycotted and we didn't stop and ooh look, we *did* something about it and now they get treated better.
I always thought that the cereals and stuff were only that colour for the like package and advert, I can't actually comprehend eating something that genuinely looks that colour that's wild
It's a lot to do with American individualism versus European socialism. In the US individuals make decisions and face the consequences (of both your own and others). In Europe we expect the state to take more of an active role in vetting our society e.g. improving safety standards, partly because we then also have public health care and would otherwise be collectively paying for poor decisions.
the chicken thing seems like a if you don’t laugh you’ll cry situation 😭😭😭
It feels like the FDA seems more interested in keeping the money flowing through the farming industry than worrying about the end consumer. That's the feeling.
I have only been to the US once, Atlanta then Philidelphia but I will say that the food did seem very sweet and, not as good quality overall (some was great) compared to the normal basic stuff I'm used to eating.
That's more or less it, and considering all the lobbying that goes on in the US, it's easy to see how corners are cut to boost profits, in other words, to hell with consumers interest, corporate profits is all that counts.
I think another point on the milk he missed was that.. because US cows are producing more milk they get sores and cysts on their udders and teats which they treat by giving them antibiotics...the antibiotics they use are the same as the ones given to humans for medical problems... The World Health Organisation has fears of "Superbugs" because humans build up a tolerance to antibiotics...so advises against consuming them from a 3rd party (i.e milk)
Yes, people should always drink organic milk.
Over the recent year there has been a lot of debate over certain dog breeds leading to restrictions on breeding. He didnt cover eggs here.
You should also note there ate strict laws on marketing to children in the UK for UK controlled TV channels ( channels not regulated buy the UK dont count), actually adverts are strongly regulated in the UK a number of years ago we stopped tobacco products and most alcohol adverts.
He's incorrect about fruit loops being flavoured with nettles and spinach. If you pause the video and rea the label it clearly states the flavouring is Natural citrus and other natural flavourings. The plant extracts (nettles and spinach) are used for something else along with other fruit and vegetable extracts.
In Australia, growing up in the noughts and 2010s we didnt have many sugary cereals. The only ones were cocoa puffs and I think we got a version of fruit loops. They were always a dessert like no way anyone could eat it as a proper breakfast on the regular. Normal breakfast was either toast, cornflakes, or porridge for me. Even now most sugary cereals and imported american cereals are sold in sweet shops
The chlorinated chicken was even a reason why TTIP wasn't signed, because Europeans were told they have to eat chicken with chlorine if TTIP will be signed. ;)
I think the big fear in the UK after Brexit (and casting ourselves adrift economically) is that we'd have to lower to US food standards where everything is driven by profit and you get sold stuff that's harmful and addictive. That's already the case a little bit in the UK (and also in the EU though less so again) but we don't want to go the same route :( [love the vids btw!]
As a child I used to be allergic to e110 (sunset yellow) which used to be a food dye used in things like Cadbury cream eggs. To this day I associate cream eggs with migraines and being violently sick even though its now been replaced with paprika colouring.
My daughter had/s a problem with E numbers. Can’t remember which ones. She’s still not allowed naughty sweets and Drinks. She’s 24. Her son, he’s only allowed ‘nice sweets’ and not naughty sweets’. His mum doesn’t agree. I only get him stuff I know won’t make him naughty. He loves grangran sweets! X
That Pacific Island were introduced to ‘lamb ends.’ Lamb ends are the fatty bits of lamb that can’t usually be sold. The islanders cook these until they are crisp and then eat them by the ton! Surprisingly, all this lamb fat has made them extremely obese. There are videos about this island and the cynical way the islanders were corrupted into eating all this fatty lamb by big business looking to offload all these bits of fatty lamb.
simple difference between our regs and the usa regs is you have to prove it is safe over here whereas in the usa it is assumed to be safe until someone proves it isn't.
I can't speak for Europe in General. But in the UK generally people do consider animal welfare when buying Eggs and Meat Products. Also if rather cook meat properly than wash food in chemicals/bleach. Also buying fruit and veg, I prefer to buy from local allotment as I know they don't use anything other than animal manure as a growing nutrient. No other chemicals used. Also it's seasonal growing so nothing is forced.
I've got bad news about the amount of sugar in beer 😅

Good to ee you again, boys. Hope you and yours had a good Christmas 🎄
I was reading an article about breakfast cereals a few years back where the author quipped that the box containing the cereal was probably more nutritious than the contents within it.
Chlorination isn’t banned in the UK and Europe, though it isn’t used in meat production. If you buy bags of “washed” salad leaves, for example, it will have been through a chlorine bath before being rinsed, dried and packaged.
The chicken chlorination issue is widely misunderstood. It isn’t actually the chlorine wash itself that’s the main problem - though it’s bad enough - it’s the reason why it is required. The hygiene standards for raising battery hens in the US are much lower, so to compensate for that the carcasses have to be sterilised - thus the chlorine wash.
there's also a wide gap in the quantity of chlorine that the food industry is allowed to use in the US and the EU. If i remenber our allowed dosage in the EU is half of the american. The main problem with it isn't chlorine in itself, but the byproducts born from chemical reactions, they're called chloroforms. And you will be happy to learn that the whole salad and plant based industry is currently abandonning it in favor of acethic acid or peracethic acid.
Interesting to note that not only are U.K. food standards higher than in the US but it is also cheaper.
We don’t have as much added sugar, preservatives or artificial colourings. Consequently it also tastes a lot better. That said I did have some of the best steak I have ever had in the US!!
In the UK we have “Farm assured” which states the name of the country and which farm the food came from. Europe and in particular, UK, have very high food standards and animal welfare standards.
Morning both, I'm pleased that Arturo looks so happy and relaxed in front of the camera now, he even has the fancy headphones. You probably know that we have gyms and sports clubs here, because the office workers know that it's not a healthy lifestyle.

14:19 Ham is pork from the leg that has been preserved by wet or dry curing, with or without smoking. Meat from cattle or poultry can also be used for ham, which must be mentioned in the name (“beef ham”, “turkey ham”).
Another interesting post lads, as you both said there's a definite US mindset that the USA is great and nothing needs to change. Nowhere is perfect but it helps to take a walk from time to time outside your own particular bubble just to check from time to time. That's what I like about your channles Joel, you do go looking with an open mind.
There's a definite profit first approach bias in the US food production industry. I know the UK isn't perfect but the food standards are geared up more to the safety first approach. Yes I'd be really interested to see the other video showing the flip side of the coin, see what foods are banned and as importantly the reasons why. Is it because of food safety concerns or is it market protection? If people tasted products from outside the US made to a different set of standards would they then prefer them to home produced stuff? That would be an interesting comparison.
I know it's not healthy but has Arturo experienced the full English breakfast?
Thanks again 👍👍

I have to say, you two are extremely mature for your young ages. The way you talk about things, your articulation is incredible. You have very good views on things. I’m really impressed. Much love from England
Also you brought up the FDA… my thoughts on that is cos they’re passing these regulations in your foods, is cos they want you to become ill so you have to go to hospital, therefore causing you to pay thousands for healthcare. I could be completely wrong here, and if I am, please let me know. Cos being from England I don’t have much knowledge on this. But that’s how it seems to me

I, (along with obviously many others) watched an American lady Reactor🇺🇸 about a month or so ago, and the comments on her video about the chlorinated chickens, and unsanitary conditions the livestock was kept in, in order to provide chickens enmasse to their customers, were horrified to learn that _that_ particular Reactor was laughing at the British and European attitude towards animal welfare. The fact that we care more about how the chickens, (cows, pigs, sheep etc) were looked after, than the fact chlorine is regarded as the 'solution' to keeping animals in dirty, cramped conditions.
She apparently thought it unimportant and not really worth the effort to change aninal husbandry for the better, as had been observed here in the UK and within the EU. (I think she lost some subscribers over her remarks about chicken welfare on American 'farms' - including mine).
As you both already said, Joel, the better the animals are cared for, the healthier they'll be, and the better the end food product will _be_ for humans to eat, and will _taste_ _better_ too.🤔🏴😏🇬🇧❤️🖖
In the U.S you are pumped full of ingredients that may do you harm, you are also having to pay through the nose for your healthcare. A possible link there maybe?
The car industry, and the gun industry $$$$$ it’s all about the money NOT the people.
And this it's for actually make you pay more in the health system.
In Europe they have to give you safe food because it's the state that is paying for your health so they have to reduce the bill from the start.
I agree, and better driving standards too.

The weird thing is, the US allows all of these additives, yet their adverts for medicine has this high speed could cause death small print read out. In the UK, we trust people to know how to safely read the instruction leaflets and/or ask the pharmacist.
I think if consumers insist on buying from ethical producers, more ethical producers will appear to satisfy demand. And once the big food conglomerates see they're losing a share of their business, they will follow suit. You're not powerless - it may be inconvenient, but if you want to change the status quo, vote with your wallet. It's the one thing big business can't ignore.
In the UK we've a long way to go, but we've had some reasonable successes via public demand. Businesses have responded - organic milk is now the norm, as are eggs from free-ranging chickens, Likewise, supermarket always have a decent range of organic vegetables, and I believe "fizzy drinks" are now significantly lower in sugar.
really crazy. I'm eating breakfast and I wanted to check what's in my coffee cream. it literally just says "ingredients: cream." that's it 😂 I'm glad I don't live in the US.

over 15yrs ago when I went to America all the flour had salt - I was searching hard for normal flour and could not find it ---- is was shock to see - egg powder - powder everything
With the chicken, in the UK a while ago packaging said "do not wash poultry" as it gets rid of flavour and actually makes it worse for you
The reason for not washing raw chicken is that it will splash the harmfull bacteria around your kitchen potentially contaminating other things, cooking it kills the bacteria. Also without bacteria chicken would be completely tasteless so that's another good reason to not bleach it.
i’m sure all those fast food places have a veggie option if you really cared for the chickens conditions
The biggest problem about mnt dew and many other US products is the colorants. Yellow 5 or E102 is toxic in high amounts and could lead to stomach cancer. So mnt dew is basically a toxic cocktail.

The thing that's worth bearing in mind is a lot of foods can be banned to encourage local made rather than imported goods to be consumed within an economic region. I suspect that's the real reason behind the cow milk thing.
When you run out of milk and your cereal is already poured, try the cold, leftover coffee in your cup... It's actually fine if you eat it before it gets too soggy. ;-]
didn't the FDA come into being because of ketchup? Heinz wanted people to know his products were proper clean edible ingredients, compared to others that added inappropriate things to theirs like chalk, sawdust, ground insects etc. Seems even with the FDA americans still add things other people say you really shouldn't
i think the consumers also have a lot of power. they vote with their money. so like you said, trying to buy organic local food and supporting small local business is certainly the key to change things for the futur. and not just with food.
Happy Holidays and have a great 2024!
I have never had Mountain Dew , i always thought it was like Lemonade. Great video though
Mt dew is a lemon and lime soda.
I've had the American version.
Just tastes of sugar and artificial crap. Not nice at all.
You have educated parents and brought up well!
Two years ago I have seen a documentary about Harvey Washington Wiley and his fight for food laws in the US. It‘s almost a wonder that there even exsists a Food and Drug Administration. This documentary gave a different meaning to the unlimited possibilities that USA is known for (the documentary was a German production so it was possibly more critical).
If you had the same equivalent of the Full English Breakfast in the US, you would have a very serious health issue,

It has to have a knock on effect, eating produce from an unhappy/ unhealthy animal.
I havent drunk milk for years...but I can't give up cheese. I love it!
Just buy free-range organic
I believe the Pacific Island nation you were talking about is either Tonga or Samoa, not sure which way around it is but both Tongans and Samoans tend to be a bit on the larger side, as indeed do all the Polynesian nations generally. For these same reasons, they often produce excellent rugby players and Sumo wrestlers, or excel at sports/activities were size and strength offer an advantage.
Hi Joel , I enjoyed watching this video (pierre)
For a good bread you need 4 ingredients, may be some more if you use more than one kind of flour.
And you need time for the dough to rise.
interesting video comparing and its shows joel what the subtle differences are . some not for the better. Happy xmas to you and friends over there
So one of the items I know is banned by the FDA is authentic haggis. One of the components in it is lungs which evidently the FDA thinks is icky.
There are interesting discussions I remember reading about how which parts of an animal get used can come down to history. The UK has had more periods of food scarcity in it's history such as during the middle ages and even more recently during WW2 with rationing. This creates a situation where you want to maximise the amount of food you get from an animal. By comparison the US has has less of an issue with food shortages (notable exception being in the south during the pellagra outbreaks) so is less inclined to use things like lungs in food.
Could well be untrue and I'm not an expert but it was an interesting look at things.
Hmm, love the red shirt!
a lot of those e numbers that increase hyperactivity also heighten adhd and autism symptoms/traits so yeah that's great if your kid is struggling💀💀
Great point! And in America they give medicines to “calm and control “ the kids with those conditions. They don’t do that here in the UK
Like how Arturo classes Reeces as a staple food.
Don't trust anything the FDA says 😂
Nadolig Llawen / Merry Christmas Arturo & Joel 🏴❤️🇺🇸 🎄🥂
Corporations USED to have more control over information. Now with technology it exposes their shady dealings. PS wheres the other guy hes not been on in a while
17:40 "Even Australia who's usually pretty chill about lots of things". What things exactly?
The slogan about breakfast being the most important meal of the day was actually invented by the cereal companies and is NOT a fact!
But it has been repeated so much that it literally falls out of the mouth of everybody and is considered to be the truth.
