Basically for the chlorinated chicken, The EU doesn't want it used as a practice because it allows chicken producers to be lazier with health and safety issues knowing that the chlorine will cover up their mistakes. Not allowing the Chlorine means that the manufacturers have to take more care handling the meat and keep the factory hygienic
Translation, EU red tape that falls onto the customers wallet (and btw, EU are allowed to put chlorine on chickens its just a lower PPM than the US)
@@Writeous0ne Do you really think chicken should be so filthy it has ro be washec with chlorine? The boys joked about kids pissing in the swimming pool, do you think chickens should live in the equivalent of that? We're not talking about the chlorine, we are talking about the conditions these chickens live in. The arguments are similar to those about antbiotic filled animals, yes there's a cocern over over-use of antibiotics, but also the conditions the animals live in pre-slaughter that would require these precautions. See also eggs.
@@Writeous0ne this is the real problem
A study from the University of Southampton found that chlorine could make food-borne pathogens undetectable, giving lower microbial counts in testing, but without actually killing them - so they might remain capable of causing disease.
That’s what I was about to say. The US allows for much poorer hygiene standards for chicken. Because it will be soaked in chlorine.
I would rather my meat be disease free, than soaked in chlorine to try and kill off the diseases and pathogens afterwards.
@@Writeous0ne And food in the UK and EU are STILL cheaper than in the USA ! I will pay the tiny bit extra thanks !
Can be summarised as the USA follows a policy of capitalism first, the health of animals and product consumers second, whilst Europe does the opposite. I'm glad I live in Europe.
I USED TO.........MISS MY HOME FOODS.
final proof for anything is difficult.
USA : allowed until proven unsafe, thus err in favor of companies.
Europe : not allowed until proven safe, thus err in favor of consumers.
i know which of the two methods i prefer ...
this principle also applies in different contexts, eg with the food dyes: in the usa, skittles are considered to be safe unless you eat too many with yellow5, mountain dew is considered to be safe unless you drink too much yellow5, and many other products (each by its own) are also are considered to be safe unless you consume too much of yellow5. now add up how much yellow5 you consume in total when so many products each have it just below the limit that makes it dangerous. and why is it used anyway? because americans want to eat and drink only neon bright food? in europe we can have many of those brands too, but with slightly modified recipes that have less or none of these substances and use somewhat dimmer natural colors instead, like orange/yellow from carrots, or red from beets.
It is a blessing to have the Food Regulations we do have in the European Union 🇪🇺
.
I don't think you are getting the issue with chlorinated chicken. No one is eating it raw, the issue is that the chemical is being added to avoid proper care and hygiene for the chickens.
Exactly
Is it though. Where's the evidence of the lax hygiene. What is obvious is the higher contamination with ecoli etc. Also, not sure where the uproar is over salad in UK, which is also washed in chlorine.
Its all the chemicals added
We have instant mash with no chemicals
We have bread without the chemical they do
Same with all the other &
Who in Britain hasnt eaten a Chicken roasted in the oven .
Never eaten a chlorinated one though
@@shaneord7527 as previously stated, it’s not about the chlorinated water. It’s about the fact that it can be used to hide some of the obvious consequences of the chickens being kept in cramped poor conditions.
@@shaneord7527 only if you buy it at Supermarkets . Not if you get it from local farms/allotments or grow your own
European Skittles aren’t exactly dull in colour without the banned dyes. It shows there’s no need for them.
It's not about sudden death or illness, it's about the accumulative effect over years.
This obscures the harm done and allows the continuation of poor food and drink
Life expectancy in the US is much lower than in Europe
I think you missed the point with the chlorinated chicken. The concern the EU has with chlorine washed chicken isn't the chlorine, or the chicken. If you wash the chicken with a chlorine wash, you can get rid of a lot of nasty bugs, which would be good. But those nasty bugs are largely an effect of poor hygiene and process standards in the production and prep and packaging facilities.
So the point the EU was making was simply if all the facilities are up to a good hygiene standard, chlorine washing is irrelevant because the really nasty bugs aren't there anyway. But if you allow chlorine washing, you risk facilities letting hygiene standards drop to unacceptable levels, relying on the chlorine wash to protect consumers (rather than it just being a safety net). This potentially puts workers at a significant health risk, and then there is a risk of contamination making its way out of the facility on workers and vehicles.
Well said
There are some supermarkets in the UK that sell Ugly / Mishapen vegetables, which are cheaper than the regular. I'll buy these whenever possible and have no issue with them because quite frankly they look like the stuff I grew when I used to grow a lot of vegetables, maybe I was a crap gardener.
But it doesn't matter does it, because they are likely getting chopped or diced anyway. I can't image being put off by the appearance of a fresh vegetable or fruit - it seems so shallow. I'm sure you're a great gardener 🙂
I've seen Edward and his green fingers in his garden - quite the Percy Thrower.
@@cahillgreg oh man that made me spit out my tea 🤣
A wonky natural shaped carrot will taste like a straight carrot.
It pisses me off in Sainsbury's when this regular customer digs through the veg, bruising them while trying to find a nice beautiful clean one.
Jesus woman, get on with it.
It’s no coincidence that the USA has the highest incidence of ADHD in children of anywhere in the world. The link between these food additives and dyes and hyperactivity in kids is very well researched.
many links to obesity too
u also need to take into account the financial incentives for high diagnosis since medication is big business - in the uk meds r free, and big surprise, much less diagnosis and just as much sugary drinks
adhd is one of the most GENETIC mental disorders what the fuck are you smoking
Not just in children It was found that certain E numbers make me very hyperactive, at the time the Drs said I would grown out of it, over 40 years later still waiting to grow out of it. Prime example one box of Orange Jaffa cakes and I'm 125 mph for up to 20 hrs straight , afterwards I will sleep for 12 hours.
@@hamzah5643 I knew someone was going to say this 😉 I think that after accounting for this mitigation the correlation is still statistically significant
Nobody is claiming that these chemicals kill you outright it may take 30 or 40 years before you get the cancer or whatever and by that time it’ll be extremely hard to tease out what was the origin of your illness
We have white bread without that stuff in it and it's much better white bread. The biggest problem with white bread in the states is the amount of sugar. It's so sweet and never as soft.
subway in the UK had to stop calling their bread, bread because of the high level of sugar in it.
Their bread is sweet? wth why?
@@mralireza931 They put loads of sugar in their bread. Upto 6 times the amount found in European bread. I have absolutely no idea why. I think it's more like cake than bread.
@@seanhickling7340 They put sugar in their bread for the same reason they put it in Pepsi, to get them addicted. You will crave more of it and end up eating more. Then there’s the case of big pharma not wanting healthy citizens or the government clear thinking citizens. So add sugar everywhere...
For chlorinated chicken, ask yourself one question. Why does the US need to do this and the EU doesn't? The actual chlorination isn't harmful to human health, but the chicken has been reared in a filthy condition for you to need to do it. Bad for the chicken, bad for the workers, and bad for the consumers if anything gets past the chlorination, like internally. But good for the bank accounts, so wooo go USA! In the UK we might now get cholrinated chicken from the US and the main thing the US have insisted on if it happens is that we arn't going to be able to label the chicken as US originated, because if we did no one would buy it!
I don't buy any food that isn't labelled with the country that produced it.. I try to avoid anything from the USA.
Only ever buy British, always look for the red tractor and Union jack, also RSPCA monitor.
This is correct. Chemical washing is considered a 'processing aid' rather than an ingredient. Therefore, it does not need to be declared on the labelling.
Seeing as how we label the location where the food came from it shouldn't be hard to decipher when it is US chicken and avoid.
However, we shouldn't need to do that and it also begs the question of will we know when it's in pre-made items?
When you say Chlorine washed chicken still tastes like chicken, no it doesn't, it tastes like chlorine washed chicken which is all you have ever had, so you think that's what chicken tastes like.
THAT IS VERY TRUE.....MY MUM GREW ALL HER OWN VEG IN ENGLAND & GOT EGGS & MEAT FROM THE FARM......VERY WELL KEPT ANIMALS TOO. THE FREE RANGE CHICKENS WOULD COME RUNNING OVER TO THE FENCE TO SEE US....REALLY FUNNY!
Try chemical free food and you'll discover how good it really tastes.
The guys need to try organic OK....grow their own
How you going to do that when the rain and the soil is poisness , you would have to grow veg in a greenhouse with clean soil and spring water to have anything chemical free
ABSOLUTELY!
There are plenty of videos on You Tube by Americans living in the UK/EU stating that food is cheaper here than in the US
I'd say that fresh food was much more expensive in the US than in the UK both times I went.
Crap processed things were sometimes cheaper, and it was cheaper to eat at fast food places - but things like fruit and veg, bread, uncaged eggs, unprocessed cheeses, butter, dried rice, pasta etc... were much more expensive.
In my experience, America is generally cheaper on the low end, with UK being cheaper with mid ranged quality produce.
Don’t confuse the e.u with Europe there two completely different things
In the UK, supermarkets are now selling weird looking vegetables that don’t conform to the normal supermarket standards. Now our supermarkets sell, “Wonky veggies”, which are exactly the same as the other veg nutritionally but mis-shaped - and much cheaper.
In Germany, they do it too.
As someone who lived in Europe and the US, the philosophy behind food safety is completely different. In the US all responsibility is on the person who prepares it, while in Europe on the people that produce it. Food poisoning in Europe is almost non existant, and here in Belgium (and Germany, and France) for example we eat raw pork and raw beef... without even thinking about getting sick.
this is one worry i have about the UK leaving the EU. i imagine our food regulations will be as crap as Americas in a bid to get things cheaper, as much as people complained about the EU their regulations were great
The uk hasn’t left Europe we’ve just left the political group we’ll still be protected cuz these things can’t be accessed within the continent
Both cereal and chocolate in America tastes NOTHING like that from England, possibly EU too that it's not even close to being similar. It's odd. There's no reason for the amount of chemicals injected in to the US Diet.
Being a farmers granddaughter and my grandparents farmed way back at the turn of the 20th Century and fought in both World Wars we were taught about food and drink made naturally from the land, which stood me in good stead for over 40 years in a professional kitchen, I can't remember the last time even during the past couple of years with the current pandemic where I've had a takeaway, at a guess it's been around 20 years since I've eaten anything like that, even here in the UK, takeaways or Fish And Chips etc are meant as a treat, yes eat chocolate, cakes,crisps etc in moderation, but I could go on for hours about this subject, 99% of what I eat and drink is what people now call wonky fruit and vegetables, it's what I call what I grew up with called organic before we even had the term, our HRH Prince Charles back around 30 years ago was termed the crazy or mad Prince because he spoke about organic, but again he like many of both his and my generation were just bought up with fresh fruit and vegetables, and eat seasonally, respect the land and eat when you're hungry, just because these fast food and junk is around doesn't mean you have too eat it
All I can say is thank goodness I live in the UK where safety and hygiene standards and strict animal welfare HAS to be met by The Food Standards Agency. That's why we don't need to wash our chicken in chlorinated water, eat growth hormone and antibiotic laced beef and GM fruit and veg as standard produce etc. I get food is expensive but the farms and food companies must be raking in huge profits over there and they could well afford to make food safer there without increasing prices, but sadly they won't because it's all about greed, profits and the bottom line it seems.
Instant mashed potatoes are freely available in the EU and UK. I grew up with the robots in the ad for mash make Smash. It's just without those cancer causing additives (see also a lot of fast food) they may have a shorter shelf life. Doesn't matter to consumers but when your laws are designed to aid manufacturers, of course it's that 10th of a cent that matters.
Part of the problems with gmo food is cross contamination with natural crops which would be irreversible. Also the companies developing gmo food take out copyrights giving them the rights to control the production of that food and set the prices for the seed. That in the long term could allow unscrupulous people to use food supply for political control.
That is exactly why I am against GM crops. Food should be "free" not patented by faceless multinational corporations who want to control when and how we eat.
In the UK we’re even told not to wash chicken. It poses the risk of salmonella spreading around the kitchen. The outside of the chicken is going to reach the highest temperature anyway. (Unless perhaps if cooked in a microwave, but microwaved chicken is just grim..)
The difference between the US and EU/UK regulatory boards is pretty basic. The EU/UK requires that the it is proved as much as possible that something is safe BEFORE it is allowed to be sold. The FDH allows food to be sold then requires it be proved that it is unsafe.
Having worked in the US I would not buy anything coming from the there. Especially chicken. Hygiene standards in their factories are awful to say the least. Why do they have to chlorinate their chicken?......
The chicken thing isn't about the chlorine it's the fact EU treats the chickens whilst their alive which eliminates salmonella and is why eggs don't need to be refrigerated in Europe (and arguably shouldn't be), US treats after death and has a huge salmonella problem in raw eggs as a result of this practice.
British hens & cocks are vaccinated, so no chlorine cleaning required !
Besides chickens being vaccinated, eggs also come with a natural layer of protection to prevent against most bacteria.
Washing it destroys that barrier, which boils down to them having to refrigerate eggs to prevent said bacteria to grow.
Their milk is also fucking weird, it can go weeks without spoiling, which is ubber unnatural
I’m a nurse and used to work on a rehab ward (mostly stroke patients and heart attacks) where we basically helped people learn to walk again after having a stroke or other major health crises. We helped with their neurological changes, for example holding a pen or relearning how to read and speak, and walking and eating again. Most people would remain bedbound or unable to properly communicate or eat even after extensive work. For example many were unable to move their mouth to chew properly, or were unable to swallow food and could only swallow thickened water. Many of these people were living normal healthy lives until their stroke, and ended up with dementia and completely changed lives.
It’s amazing how much food affects recovery from something like this, as well as the likelihood of it happening in the first place. Most of our patients were smokers, heavy drinkers, overweight, and ate a lot of processed foods and sugar. Yes anyone can get unlucky, but taking care of yourself is the best preparation for if you ever do get unlucky.
I do think unhealthy food can be enjoyed in moderation, but I also think people have a kind of “I don’t care, I’ll do what I want” attitude to it. It’s not like people just die a few years earlier. It’s more like, people end up with debilitating health conditions and die very slowly while their families have to care for them like it’s a job. Take care of your body so that you can enjoy a quality of life for as much as possible. Even if two people both die at the same age, one could spend their last 10 years unable to get out of bed or communicate, while the other could spend their last 10 years enjoying life with their family.
Just my opinion on it, I’ve seen some shit. I think you should never cut out the things that make you happy, enjoy cake, enjoy pizza, enjoy a beer. But also look after your body within that, and everything in moderation.
I work in mental health nursing now and sugar spikes certainly affect moods too. I test peoples bloods often and I’m usually able to tell if they had a healthy breakfast or not just by looking at the blood!
Brilliantly put
You can buy instant mash over here. Like all of these foods, they are available, they just don’t have unnecessary additives. The title is a bit misleading.
In the U.K. we never wash our chickens in the U.K. with chlorine.
We never wash our chickens, it even states on the wrapping do not wash chickens.
Instant mash, you might as well eat sawdust. 🤣
Guys - look at the ingredient list for the instant mashed potatoes - it has about 30+ things in there!? If you made it yourself it would maybe read - "Potatoes, salt, butter and cream". It wouldn´t have added sugars and synthetic chemicals. Don´t live in fear - but at least keep you eyes open - The Chemist
Make your own mash potatoes and forego the cancer risk, It's easy, just boil a potatoe in a pan for 20 mins, job done :)
So, guys, you say you understand all this shown here, but that you will essentially continue to eat as you've always done. Then you enter into a philosophical chat about the meaning of life - you live and then you die. Well, yeah, basically, but what you eat, among other things, can cause poor health even at an early age, such as at your age. Believe me, I'm no saint when it comes to what I eat, but I expect to read what is contained in any product through statutory government controls on the process and management of the product.
However, I'm kind of nagging, and your show is to maintain a lighthearteness, which is always a pleasure to watch (except for sports; oh, the horror, the horror!). Robert, 73, UK.
My main objection to GMO foods is that farmers become hostage to the big agro-pharma companies and end up buying their seeds exclusively (and not allowed to use their own) and using massive amounts of pesticides and biocides sold by that same company. And the next door farmer who does not use GMO seeds is sued by the big agro-pharma company because of the inevitable drift of seeds on to their land. And the GMO DNA also crosses into wild plants (wheat to grasses for example) and you now have resistant grasses that can invade your non GMO fields - unless you buy violent weed suppressing chemicals from that big agro-pharma company!
In the UK and EU, companies have to prove that foods and food additives are not going to do you any harm. In the USA, you have to prove that they will do you harm, otherwise you can sell the products. Hence there’s a massive gap between the USA and UK and EU, and why the USA can sell foods and additives that other countries don’t.
When/if you visit the UK and Europe you will be shocked at how different the food is, especially the stuff bought in a supermarket. I have been to the US a few times and was amazed how sweet all of the bread was. The texture was more like cake too. Same for the meat. Cheap supermarket cuts like chicken breast are full of water and shrink a little when cooked but the American stuff literally halved in size! Even things like apples are twice the size of the locally grown fruit we have in UK supermarkets.
On the contrary, there are are lots of independent butchers and bakers making delicious food in the US. Meals out were very nice, if a little sweet and sugary. It is mainly the store bought produce that is the biggest difference.
Thought you might find this UK advert for instant mash amusing - YT vid 'Cadbury's Smash - For mash get smash'. It's an old video, not the best quality but you'll get the idea
At 9.46 ... ur right. In Australia there was a campaign run about bananas. The amount of them thrown away because they arent acceptable shape , size, colour was shown and people were shocked. Its NOT the consumer demanding it (or maybe there are a few but) its the stores quality control who are turning this fruit away. Once this went viral, we demanded odd shaped fruit. Now our food is expected to look a little odd and not the expected shape n size. When u say organic food doesnt look as good... it does, its not grey and ugly, at least not here, its healthy looking food and we are becoming more aware that shiny apples arent as good as the juicy dull ones thru constant campaigning via big supermarket chains.
Notice how there´s no mention of brominated vegetable oil on the label of the Mountain Dew? If the serving size is small enough they don´t have to list certain chemicals.
I wonder how many of these companies have investment tied to health companies?
You may not realise that the best beef you had originally came from the UK. Many years ago Argentina, as well as most other nations, imported Aberdeen Angus cattle from Scotland, as they were the best. So now the Argies and others breed them all the time from our original stock.
I'm from the UK, and in our supermarkets we hava 'world food aisles'. And in the American section, every item has its ingredients info covered with another ingredients sticker. Even individual bars of twinkies and hershey chocolate.
Wow, do people still eat instant mash over there. You used to see it on sale everywhere, but you hardly see it nowadays. Not surprising really, its disgusting 🤢
you seem to be missing the point re chlorinated chicken, it is banned because it allows factories there to be dirty and then compensate with chlorination.
I no longer trust your taste buds ...instant mashed potatoes is the worse 😂😂
It's vile, had it once many years ago and it was like eating wallpaper paste 🤢
Instant mash!! 🤢🤢🤢
Disgusting - and lazy
Instant mash potatoes are the devil's work, I'd rather wait hours until I had time to cook proper mash than eat that stuff. I'd never be so hungry that I couldn't wait the 30 minutes it takes to make proper mash.
If you served instant mash in the U.K, you’d better be wearing a crash helmet.
For Mash... get Smash. I used to love those adverts. The mash - not so much.
The Colorado river serves 35m Americans but no longer reaches its geographical outlet in Mexico. A dam stops it getting there. It’s hydrating cattle along the way that don’t see a blade of grass - unless it’s outside their concrete corrals. And they eat corn.
You should watch U.S. vs U.K. food wars.
As another visual representation of the differences, Google a picture of British Fanta vs US Fanta, it will tell you everything you need to know 😂😂
I’d never eat US chicken due to the chlorine . In Europe we don’t need to as our chicken and eggs are raised in a cleaner environment
As a human woman who had mastitis, we should avoid letting the poor cows getting this if we can 🥰
Other people have already raised the comments about Chicken - so just looking at the instant mash thing. I have a packet next to me of instant mash potato and I looked at the ingredients... 99% Potato flakes, and the other 1% is anti-oxidants. I'm not going to guess exactly which ones, but that's it. Add water, butter, milk. Done.
Also - damn you miss out on so much good meat. And not just different beef, but pork as well.....
The thing is we have instant mash potatoes in Europe and it tastes good, as you say it’s not as good as fresh potatoes.
It’s just that ours don’t have cancer forming chemicals. We have a tub in the cupboard that makes up to 4 pints of mash potato. With a use by date of 2 years. How many years do you need it to last?
Now I’m thinking of all the post apocalyptic movies I’ve seen where people are scavenging tins of food that have been unopened for 20 years. They are all American movies so many you can eat them decades later.
Argentinian steak is awesome! We can’t get it in the UK due to the trade embargo following the Falklands War. I always get it if I’m in Europe tho. The chlorinated chicken tastes way worse than what we have in the UK. Not sure if that’s down to the way it’s produced or the chlorination tbh. And anyone making instant mash on a dinner would be hung drawn and quartered in the UK and Ireland. We take or potatoes very seriously over here!
Plenty of restaurants have Argentinian steaks in the UK. I know because I import 1000's of kilos of Argentine beef every week.
@@lawsonbriggs5416 yes you’re absolutely right in more recent times it’s changed. On supermarket shelves it’s quite rare to see though still. It’s not easy to get apart from in restaurants and artisan butchers tho. Where as in Europe it’s much more accessible.
@@Frank75288 ha ha will have to check that out!
Yes i agree to your point on potatoes 🥔. Instant mash is vile 🤢🤮 shouldn't be called mash cos it's just a gloppy mess
@@lawsonbriggs5416 "Gaucho" if it still exists.. had Argentine Beef.. Either way Uruguayan beef would substitute..
If your chicken farming practises are of a high quality then you shouldnt need to wash in chlorine, and this is the reason for avoiding it , allowing it gives the option for lower quality.
I've always quite liked you two but you're completely missing the point here, if it's carcinogenic then don't sell it. God bless America.
European instant mash is great....and it doesn't have those carcinogens in it
This is why I as a uk citizen don't want a food trade deal with the US, but now have to live with more and more food coming from there 🤷♂️ thanks brexit.
A long time ago before the advent of supermarket here in the UK back in the 1960,s there was a local butcher who kept live chickens in his back yard.
The amount of carcinogens is what jumped out at me! In bread and all sorts, yikes that's awful, wonder what if any difference there is between EU and US with various cancer rates.
When my eldest daughter was young she couldnt have any BLUE food as she was off her head hyper so had to stop her having smarties . And we live in 🇬🇧
You're right about chicken. As long as it's cooked properly, it's okay. We were advised not to wash them prior to cooking as the contaminants can splash all over the place. Just thorough cooking kills all nasties
These guys are taking everything so personally like their culture is under fire. Most amusing.
Not sure if it was meant as a joke when you said the mashed potatoes would not be stored where rats could get to it, but just to be sure.... When they say it shows improved rates of cancer in rats, it's results from animal testing to see if mammals and therefore likely humans as well will have health implications from the chemicals. So when there are improved cancer rates in rats it means that it is likely to cause increased cancer rates in humans.
Think about how much health insurance costs, if they keep giving animals certain growth hormones and adding chemicals to your food then you will need treatment for the cancers etc that they cause, the government and FDA are making sure that you will be a patient with a recurring illness that needs recurring hospital treatments and life long medication which no health insurer will give you cover for, the life expectancy in the US will continue to get lower and at a faster rate too, life will become not worth living eventually.
That's why America allows it , plus they have a lot of people to feed
I grew up hearing about Twinkies on American TV imports and American comics/books. I finally got to eat one in my 30s. Jesus Mary and Joseph - the most vile, artificial, sickly-sweet foodstuff in Christendom.
Nobody with any common sense would eat raw chicken, chlorinated or not.
I know Spencer, you are not very keen on veganism(I saw the t-shirt you were wearing in one of your videos 🤣) but I became vegan years ago because of what this video explains and for other reasons. I was concerned about what I was putting in my body, and I must say, my health has improved since then. And I agree with you, I'd rather eat a tomato that tastes like a tomato but doesn't look perfect, than eating a beautiful tomato that tastes like nothing. If you ever visit Mallorca go to a traditional mallorcan restaurant, away from the tourist areas and order a "Pa amb oli" it is only bread, olive oil, tomato and salt, but if the products are fresh and good, it's super tasty🤤😋
I guess the bottom line is not to eat processed food. Perhaps buy organic produce or shop locally at farmers markets
We still get most of these foodstuffs, they are just not having the banned chemicals e.g. we have passable instant mash brands.
We still have and eat alot of these things 😋
We just have less chemicals in them giving them a better flavour.
Everyone knows fresh of the farm us the best or homemade/grown, but reality is we can't afford to grow or shap these.
Wishing you both a merry Christmas 😁👍🇬🇧

You kinda completely missed the point of the chlorine washed chicken even though you said 'Cause someone pissed in there and that's the chlorine doing it's job' . It's because your chickens live in flith they have to be disinfected so you can eat them. Enjoy your pee a poo marinated KFC.
On the chicken thing and Daniel saying he's never going to eat raw chicken. I think that's something most of us would agree on but it's actually something that can be eaten in Japan. It's not a common thing like sushi or Sashimi but you can get it there. Surprisingly, the locals don't seem to have any adverse effects. Unlike the tourists who chow down on it...
It’s also said that maybe chicken that is past it’s best and beginning to smell and go slimey is washed in chlorine to refresh it
Hence the reference to hygiene practices
I wouldn't worry ...most have just had the 3 dart finish .....mind blowing
The milk thing - For cereal or drinking, get Vanilla milk (Alpro) - I think it's soya, but OMG it's great.
I needed to lose a ton of weight, and sugar was my main downfall so I cut it out. Cereal with no sugar was just awful - Alpro Vanilla milk came to my rescue, and I could eat cereals again.
Oh, and the almond stuff is actually OK if you drink coffee with milk or cream... gives it a hint of nuttiness.
Just keep in mind it tastes good because it contains sugar.
@@MrEsphoenix Well, yeah - but not a lot of it - The kcals in it is around the same as using standard cow juice (around 80-90 kcals for the amount I use) - And I used to add 3 heaped tablespoons of sugar... maybe an extra 250 kcals or so that I've now stopped adding.
Apologies for the boring numbers breakdown.... But when you go on a strict diet, you tend to get to know all this stuff that you'd previously ignored.
I can now look at most foods/meals/etc. and make a decent estimate at the calorie content.
The soy milk and almond milk (especially Alpro) Are almost all water. Its a scam that was uncovered a couple of years ago. Make your own almond milk and taste what actual almond milk tastes like. Its nothing like Alpros white sugar water.
Frozen mashed potato is much better than powdered. The European brands contain just potatoes, maybe butter and/or a little salt. A quick zap in the microwave and you’re done.
Irish beef tastes great too. Our cattle are mainly grass fed so the beef, milk and cheeses are great.
Fresh and Natural is what you mean and need
...always best.
I watch most of his channels, Really good content
Simon Whistler has like 12 CZcams channels and 3 podcasts, I consume so much of his content I feel like I know the guy
As a European, I have to say that it’s not always about health, some of the EU bans are more about politics. Agriculture and food production accounts for over half of EU:s budget in order to protect European farmers. Beef from Uruguay/Argentina f ex. is clearly superior to European beef but import to EU is very restricted anyway, in order to protect EU farmers. And the science is still out on GMO:s, but EU claims it’s bad in order to ban products for protectionist reasons.
You just have to Google recalled food in the US eg veg and meat 😬
Why on Earth would you need to bleach your bread? Why does it have to be bleach white? It’s food.
Did I hear Spencer say that chicken should be cooked (definitely not eaten raw!) and then mention 160ºF? Unless I misheard that is a well low temperature as it should be at 350ºF, no? Mother always told me that meat should be cooked at 180ºC for 20 minutes per pound weight (plus 20 minutes).
I don’t care what the reason is I don’t want their chicken and I don’t want their preserved milk. I don’t want their corn fed everything. Stuff the trade deal . I want better food standards. I would love you guys to taste beautiful bread and grass fed dairy. .
You would think Tea was Banned in America!! lol the best I found was Lipton which in the UK standards its not worth having.
why can't you buy Yorkshire Tea or PG tips, it would really improve my trips across the pond lol
The Same Big Mac in America is double the Calories in the UK would be interesting to see your reaction on US v UK McDonald's or KFC.
Our Boris wants to have a trade agreement with the USA - we don’t want chlorinated chicken. The USA washes salad in chlorinated water, too. We don’t want that either.
The point is that chlorine washing the chicken in the USA allows the producers to have lower standards for food production. It’s not about eating raw chicken.
You have to take care with chicken - we no longer wash chicken under the kitchen tap for fear of spreading the salmonella everywhere in the kitchen. Government advice.
Blackpool has a famous £1 burger that’s featured on tv
it's a vicious circle. Sure it won't change anytime soon because of corporations and the all mighty dollar but stronger regulations like in the EU, give healthier food, the healthier food makes people in general healthier which means less percentage that will get sick or obese, which means less hospital visits, which means less financial debts for the us citizens which is great for the average joe but not the all mighty dollar.
Food is supposed to be fresh and tasty. We have veggies that look wonderful in store but aren't gmo treated. You can buy the less aesthetically pleasing versions if you want to but mostly those are used to either feed the animals or chopped up so you dont see it visually but it's still as healthy as the fresh ones you buy. Our breads are freshly baked in house most of the time at super markets and there's bakeries in town where they still make bread like thousands of years ago... it's supposed to be bad in 2 days time, the same with milk. It's supposed to go off after it's opened a few days.
Why is it acceptable that a percentage of the population dies due to these added chemicals or highly influenced by these chemicals, to appease the 1 percent and the all mighty dollar?
How can you be so busy that you can't cook and mash potatoes?
Even in the UK there are different laws on farming in each nation....e.g. England allows GM crops but in Scotland they are illegal. When I buy meat I look for a Saltire as I know the animals have had zero GM crops involved. There are lots of other examples... Excluding ADA makes ZERO difference to White read....the UK is mostly bread as white as snow and ADA is still banned. They just have to move to another additive.
Make the most of non-GM crops in Scotland. The UK Government, through their shitty post-Brexit Internal Market Act, are slowly unpicking the regulations that prevent GM crops being grown in Scotland.
The mashed potatoes thing can't have been everywhere in the EU as even when the UK was still in the EU we had both SMASH and IDAHOAN instant mash at the very least. And still do, certainly here in Scotland.
fyi what you call white bread is not even considered to be a real bread in europe - it's toast bread, used exclusively for toasts (if normal bread is not available). As for instant mash potatoes are not even a thing in Poland (one of the most potatoes loving country)
we have white bread here but no ada
"My mashed potato will have big grey lumps in" ;)
Milk it’s supposed to go off after a couple of days it is here in the UK. Because we don’t have preservatives because why would you want to put preservatives in such a natural unspoiled food
