The government have said we won't have hormone fed beef or chlorine washed chicken coming here.
Having watched recent events in the US, I think it confirms you are what you eat!
Trump has obviously eaten it Al his life! 😂
Our INFORMED choice. Just greed to give animals hormones. Why don’t organic cattle need them? Not to mention what they have done to soil that grows the grass they feed on …..
One of the reasons the Roman Empire collapsed was because of lead in their pipes. Wondering if the US is starting to fail because of the `quality` of its food.
Trump did complain that Europe needs to lower its standards so US food products could be consumed here. Not a word that US could higher their standards. Au contraire, they are gutting food security agencies.
Undermines our own farmers who produce to a higher standard & will not be able to compete on price & would be what ends up in all processed food (because cheaper) meaning people end up with no choice.
We should be supporting better farming & health standards, not engaging in a race to the bottom.
My second para answers that.
Plus my follow on tweet.
And there is already ‘choice’, but the current minimum standard is better. And there is absolutely no ‘choice’ for the less fortunate in society - they always have the bottom, because that’s all they can afford.
It’s also another wedge in inequality in society - the fortunate/wealthy will be able to pay the extra avoid this crap, the less fortunate in society won’t.
Currently that is not a situation that exists (yes there’s ‘premium cuts’ etc. but the min & general standard of beef is still ‘good’)
How do we know the long term effects n the health of children brought up on this?
We have been promised it isn't coming here, but that's only until a possible change of government.
Farage will welcome it.
Glad you will sell your hormone filled meat to UK so we don't have to discuss any of that shit here in EU and we can go on with our very good regulation about food. Everyone's happy this way.

British farmers should also have a choice of whether to stick with premium, go cheap or have a range of products.

Plenty of nations don’t want hormone beef, nor do they want chlorinated chicken or American candy with its endless list of additives.
