Phytonutrients, it was fucking autocorrect’s fault.
But no, GMO has a lot to do with it. I know supermarkets were shady about this before, but the same applies to GMO, and it extends all the way up the supply chain.
Monsanto engineers their crops to maximize profit. That means high-yielding plants with giant fruits. It minimizes low nutritional density because the plants have to distribute the same amount of nutrients over more crop. And it makes the taste and texture worse.
I remember when asparagus was around 5mm in diameter, and tender. Now it’s more like 10mm, and stringier than celery. It’s like the whole stalk is made of that inedible part of the greenbean
Damn, you can’t seem to get a sentence out without ending it with condescending name-calling. I can only assume you’re compensating for your lack of a solid argument.
Chlorinated chicken isn’t the only thing wrong with US food, and also it’s not just the chlorinated baths that are bad but the standard practices and neglect that those chlorine baths permit.
But if the EU truly thought US food production was fine, then it wouldn’t ban their imports based on inadequate safety standards.
Also, if you’re so in touch with “the facts,” then would you mind sharing a source for that little statistic about third-place? According to whom? Who conducted the study?

Aldi’s in Chicago has wonderfully thin and crisp asparagus almost all the time. Don’t ask me how, I just buy and eat it.
Probably cause it’s grown in Europe where they actually regulate their food production…
The US also regulates its food production, sweetie .
Barely. There’s a reason Europe won’t import most of it.
No, not “barely”, sparky. And that reason is mostly out of a desire to maintain their own food industry, which is their right.
It also has a lot to do with american-produced food not meeting European food safety standards.
If you’ve never heard of chicken chlorine bath “poop soup” then I suggest you read a little more. And that’s not the worst of it.
Those food safety standards aren’t what you think they are, spud.
I’m more familiar with chlorine washed chicken than you are, kiddo. Even the EU’s own research shows that it’s fine.
Since you’re not in contact with facts, here’s another one for you. The US ranks third in the world for food quality and safety.
