Hi. If you liked this video then you should watch a KZbin video called "Food in America compared to the UK - why is it so different" by Dr Livingood. Though he only goes through six different food products in the video he puts the ingredients lists for the same product in both countries side by side so you can immediately see the differences. I think you would find the video both informative and shocking.

[@kramalbion]

To put it very simply, in the US they can put what they want into your food until it’s proven to be dangerous. In the Uk and Europe they can NOT put anything into food until it’s proven to be safe.

[@Anson_AKB]

yes, and it is also a problem when a single food is allowed some dangerous ingredients because they are not "too dangerous" as long as you only eat a little of one such food. but when the same chemicals (like yellow5) are in many different foods, it adds up and the total amount is no longer "not too dangerous", eg add the limits of skittles, mtdew and debbie to get to triple those "safe limits".

"In the UK and Europe"... The UK _is_ in Europe. You could just say "In Europe". Saying "In the UK and Europe" is like saying "In Japan and Asia" or "In Madagascar and Africa". Just because they're islands doesn't make them less, they're still part of the continent.

But I've never heard anyone say that, or act like those countries isn't in Europe.

in the uk chickens are innoculated against salmonella the cost to the farmer is 12 pence per chicken giving you safe meat and safe eggs

[@user-iy3ry2hi6t]

Could I mention eggs. In the US it is mandatory for all eggs to be subjected to a washing and sanitising procedure. This makes the eggs nice and shiny on the outside. BUT, what this procedure does is to remove the ‘cuticle’ which is the natural layer on the outside of the shell. This cuticle is natures way of protecting the egg from harmful bacteria getting inside through the pores in the shell. This is why US stores have to sell them from refrigerated cabinets and why the customer has to keep them in the refrigerator at home. This process is banned in UK, the EU and many other countries, so eggs are displayed on ordinary open shelves and do not have to be refrigerated, unless you want to keep them for an extended period.

[@jennyj0007]

[@simbella99]

As for Coca-Cola in the EU, it's worth mentioning that they are not allowed to sell it if it contains corn suryp. It must be sugar!

Yeast needs the sugar in order to ferment, which makes bread dough rise and beers use a lot of yeast too which turns the sugars into alcohol.

[@susanhill2110]

We have skittles but ours have natural colourings. Even if you make your own bread it’s the flour that’s bleached. Our eggs don’t need to be refrigerated because we don’t bleach them so they still have their natural coating which protects against salmonella and we don’t bleach our chicken either, cooking chicken properly will kill the bacteria so there is no need to bleach them. Your bread has so much sugar it’s actually classed as a dessert and your McDonalds fries have 14 different ingredients where as ours only have 3.

It's really frightening what the US consumer is being told on a daily basis. The worst thing is that not everyone knows what is contained in their (perhaps daily) purchases. Because not everyone informs themselves about it or knows what is in it. And the food industry sells it all every day without any scruples in the supermarkets. American citizens are really walking a very dangerous line, and they are taking the hit. And another point, in no other country in the world are there as many fat and overweight people as in the USA, caused by these chemicals and harmful additives.

Here is something you may not know. When you see, Grass Fed Beef, doesn't mean it spent its life eating Grass. Cattle only have to eat grass for two months to be called Grass Fed. That means it may have been eating corn and other grains for fourteen months and the last two eating Grass. Also, take a look at Wonder Bread next time you're in the store. 11% of the loaf is in fact sugar. In the UK, the standard is between 1-2% of natural sugars, not added sugar.

[@Spikebhaal]

[@oktrevor2010]

Many of the American products sold in the UK have different ingredients to the US. Chickens in the UK are some of the safest anywhere in the world due to the increased diligence of the farmers. This also applies to all the other livestock produced.

There is food coloring in Swiss rolls because they basically have no color without the food coloring. The brown color is a mix of yellow, red and blue food dye because there's no chocolate in it to make it brown. It's chocolate flavored :)

Your food isn't just full of stuff, but man it's expensive. My local supermarket, I can get fresh baked bread for 70p... about 85c 6 free range eggs for 80p... less than a dollar Mince beef is one third of the price in the USA.

[@klaus2t703]

Orange juice: In Germany when you see a bottle which says "Orangensaft" then it is 100% orange juice without additional sugar or other ingredients. When there are other ingredients than it must not be named "Orangensaft". It may be named "Orangennektar", "Orangen Fruchtsaftgetränk" or similar which translates to "orange nectar", "orange fruit juice drink". This way it is obvious what is pure orange juice and what is "modified". The same applies to other fruits. Hand crafted bread rolls are just made of a handful ingredients: water, flour, yeast, salt ... no sugar needed. And that´s what - for me - good food stands for. Less but all natural ingredients .. while the taste is improved naturally, for example by using selected flour and let the dough rise for 12 hours or more. Our local bakery does it this way. (surely not every bakery) That´s not hearsay. I did electrical stuff at the bakery and saw how they prepared the dough in afternoon to be baked the next day. For sure we use lots of ingredients to make things taste "better". Like pure vanilla, natural cinnamon, natural herbs .. and so on. Again: not every food is made this way, for sure there are "cheap", industrial products of any kind. Raw food: Sushi consists of raw fish. There are delicious raw marinated fish dishes. Tatar is raw meat, raw eggs are often used in the original dessert “Tirami su”. Original "Emmentaler" cheese is made from unheated milk. All very tasty. I eat them every now and then.

[@daniel-leejones8396]

In the US, if you prove that it's unsafe then we won't allow it , the UK and EU, unless you can prove it is safe, then it's not allowed.

[@june4976]

In Germany, we have a dish called Mettbrötchen. It's basically a bread roll with raw minced and seasoned pork on it, often topped with raw onions or scallions. And it is perfectly safe to eat, as long as you consume the Mett on the day you buy it, because there are a lot of regulations and inspections in place. It's not about being raw, it's about control and safety, which can be achieved.

[@craighughes4906]

US farming has been trying to get it's agriculture products into the EU for decades the issue is you don't produce anything natural even milk the cows are genetically designed to produce more product to the detriment of walking. Beef is packed full of growth hormone eggs are washed & stored in fridges because the reduced ability of the shell to resist bacteria. Bread has been around for thousands of yrs a simple concept a staple product for billions of people yet someone has an idea will make it last longer make it look whiter & softer oh who cares if it tastes like sh!t only in America thank god.

[@unclegreybeard3969]

[@GRAHAM2109]

In the UK they introduced white skittles.

[@JaniceHope]

In Germany we regularly eat raw minced pork meat for breakfast. And we can do that without danger because regulations around selling that type of raw meat are extremely strict and can only be sold on the day it's made. So delicious!! Never had a problem ever after eating that type of meat! Also when I was in the US... California to be precise I constantly had the taste of chlorine in my mouth... from the meat and to water which was the worst offender. Beverages, mostly soft drinks with all that unnecessarily ice thrown in made me incredibly thirsty. Only after buying 100% juice that taste was gone. Anything that touched water tasted like chlorine. Also baking your own bread will only protected you from some of the additives since some are going directly into the flour and the grain used is also very different.

[@AutoAlligator]

The cost of food/groceries is simply obscene in the US. All European countries have much better value for money with groceries. The food is fresh, clean and for meat-eaters the animals are treated way better than in the US.

One of the most common questions I read from Americans is why we don’t refrigerate our eggs in 🇬🇧…in the US, the eggs are washed after they’ve been laid…the chemical washing actually washes off the natural protective coating making them susceptible to bacteria. We do not, allowing us to store them at an ambient temperature. If you refrigerate eggs and then keep taking them out of the fridge, you also run the risk of condensation forming on the outer shell which in turn can penetrate the shell and contaminate the egg.

[@baramuth71]

nope, the condom water does not matter. If the eggs are unwashed, condensation does not cause anything. This is due to the difference in temperature between the refrigerator and the outside temperature, but has no effect on the eggs.

My personal recommendation to start with is to try making some ciabatta bread for sandwich, its very easy to get a good result and you only need good flour prefered with over 12% protein 15% if you can find it a little yeast and some salt thats it, there are some tricks involved connected with how you handle the dough and bake the bread but you can find that in all recipes online.

Hi. Nothing is easier than making your own bread. 1 kilogram of all-purpose flour, 20 grams of fine table salt, in a separate bowl mix 13 grams of dehydrated yeast with 500 cc of warm water. Pour it into the flour, add a couple of tablespoons of corn oil. and knead until you obtain a smooth dough (10 minutes of kneading). Let it rise for 50 minutes covered so that it does not lose moisture and in a warm place. Then it is divided into buns of approximately 800 grams. Shape it or put it in a mold and let it rise for another 45 minutes. Baked at medium temperature 170 C°. for about 40 to 50 minutes and that's it. homemade bread without preservatives. and it is not necessary to add sugar. whole wheat bread is the same recipe but with 20 gr. of yeast. It is a life change. Oh, and to make pizza it is the same recipe, only it is divided into 400 gram buns, stretched, shaped and tomato is added, it is pre-cooked in the oven for 15 minutes and then the topping is added. You can do it.💪

If you can get first break wheat, on non improved bread flour. Go for it. My finnish ancestors made loaves of hard bread called Jot, with flour, either white or wholemeal. Using only water. Get a bowl, put in the flour and start with less water, add just enough to bring the flour together. Lay on a flat tray, with some bake paper. Try to form a rough loaf shape. About 4 inches high, flatten the ends, tying to keep the "loaf" high down the middle. Bake until the outside is golden. Cut slices and butter one at a time, not so good using 2 for a sandwitch, open sangas are more practical here. Put a clean tea-towel around your loaf, or keep it in an air-tight tin after it's cold. You can also do a fruit loaf, just put a cake portion of dried fruit in your small packet of flour. Break up the fruit and cover it with flour first, then add water. Try to poke fruit inside of the loaf, so it burns less. Bake as before, slice and butter... you may like this toasted. The uk and aus have made self-raising flour since forever, it has bicarb soda or baking powder in it. That can make your Jot a bit lighter? If you really want to make bread, you can buy a bread maker. Commercial Bakers told me to eat day old bread, there is a natural chemical in it which goes away after 1 day. You can have some hot, just don't have fresh stuff exclusively. You may become gluten intolerant. All the best. My aunt uses toast which she rubs garlic into for sore throats, butter makes it taste a bit better, but 1-a- day makes my colds much less horrible in 3 days. Those that carry on about cows and flatulence, think about what cows eat, they eat grass, ok. What happens to people who eat vegetables only? They get strong flatulence. So would you rather the cows with it, or the people? 6 of 1 and half-a-dozen of the other. Personally I get too weak from not eating meat. I have a long list of things I'm food intolerant to, that are supposed to be good for you, starting with onion=migraines, and cabbage=bad wind and stomach aches. It's personal choice, do what works for you. Just try to limit the additives, and have other foods in moderation. Grate your own cheese, they put something in to keep grated cheese in separate bits. Your cheese can be hard to melt, particularly parmesan, the fda lets them put shaved wood in it.

GMO causes concern in Europe because it is felt that we don't know yet the real outcomes from growing GMO crops. For example, they can be modified to increase the yield or the amount of a specific mineral or vitamin but it is not really known how that affects other creatures. Would a more nutritious crop make any insects that eat it bigger, stronger and more resilient too? We have a TV doctor here (UK) who just tells everyone that when you are shopping, you should look at the ingredient list of each product and if it has an ingredient that you don't have in your kitchen, avoid it.

The thing I love about living in the UK is the food quality, it is illegal to put anything fake in food unless you put it on the package that it is inside the product. And because we the consumer wouldn't buy those products the companies are Proud to put 100% Approved on their labels. Chicken which is caged is banned so Farmers are Proud to put Free Range on the packages. I recently went to Miami and between me, my cousin and our nephew we didn't enjoy most places we ate

See if you can find an old documentary called “Hamburger” - it was a revelation to me!

In the 1980s/90s I worked in a job where a team of us had to visit the New York office every 3 months for a week. Fed up with the illness rates after our return the Board switched it over so the NY team had to come to us and bring their computers with them. Extreme? Maybe but none of them got sick after a week staying near Windsor .

Some of the solutions is to cook from scratch, grow some things yourself,and forage somethings in nature.But it's not always easy.

Do you know where that carrots are good for your eyesight thing comes from? In World War 2, there was an overabundance of carrots from people growing their own vegetables, and the government played on the success of 1 particular night pilot and his number of victories. This was actually due to onboard radar, but it was secret, so they did something totally silly and said it was due to the vitamins in carrots and said this pilot ate lots of carrots... 😂 And that's where it comes from. Also... the Germans heard about it and began giving their pilots carrots 😂😂😂😂😂 ❤ from Northeast England ❤️

[@Spiklething]

Actually carrots contain a lot of Vitamin A which is also known as retinol. Retinol genuinely helps you to see better in dim light. So they weren’t doing something silly by saying carrots help you see in the dark. It’s 100% true. That’s why saying the pilots were eating carrots fooled the Germans, because it made sense

[@oopsdidItypethatoutloud]

@Spiklething Yes, they do... but nowhere near enough to give some extraordinary night vision. It was just a way of conning the Germans so we could keep our technology secret. ❤️ from Northeast England ❤️

US coke can't be sold in the EU since the sweetener is corn syrup. Corn syrup is basically in almost everything in the US, since it's cheap. There are a few side effects, though. And thus EU coke and other US beverages from Coca Cola or Pepsi is made with sugar (usually from sugar beets).

Cuba cola is a swedish brand, you can even see swedish text on the bottles in the video. I have no idea if it is really sold in cuba or not, but it is not from there.

1. Adding even vitamins to foods can make some people overload on vitamins and too many vitamins are as bad as too few. 2. You'd like our Mountain Dew. 3.GMOs are bad because they also pollinate other farmers fields replacing other crops and then causing the 'manufacturer' to sue farmers because their pollen dropped on their land. In several cases GMOs have killed off local healthy food. GMOs are your choice but Monsanto and Beyer don't want you to have a choice. They WANT to control your diet and trademark your food.

[@Spiklething]

It’s mainly vitamin A and vitamin d you need to be careful of. They are the only fat soluble vitamins so the only ones the body can store. So you can die from too much Vitamin A or D. A useless piece of information is that if you eat a polar bears liver it will kill you because it contains a toxic amount of Vitamin A and D. The rest of the vitamins are water soluble, so they just get flushed out of the body, much harder to take too much But there are reasons vitamin tablets come with daily recommended amounts

[@suicidalbanananana]

Another fun one about "Special K" is that they chuck some iron filings in the cornflakes-maker-machine 🤷‍♂ It doesn't actually get absorbed by your body like the molecular level healthy kind of iron we find in meats etc, instead it just goes through your system, but it lets them list higher iron contents on the box... 🤣 Thankfully its known to be a harmless scam tactic & it's not a safety hazard, so it's mostly just funny

[@Sethmacd0]

Australia hasn't banned it fully but highly discourages Yellow American Cheese from being consumed there because of what is used as a colorant, Annatto. It's linked to bursts of anger and hyperactivity in children and adults.

As a beekeeper local unfiltered honey from the ‘cappings’ has the most local pollen - I had many people who suffered from Hay fever who would buy Honey from the cappings every January to start a built up a resistance to pollen. PS watching a meat reclamation machine make sausages or burgers is enough to put you off them for life.

[@krisstone3991]

Most of all those are band in the UK but not Coca-Cola ,but Coca-Cola bottled water is band, because its filtered tap water . In the UK all bottled water has to be 100% mineral water 👍✌

American bread also isn't allowed to be sold here in the UK and EU unless (if a specific bread product actually is ever allowed), unless it's classified as desert, because American bread has so much sugar in it it's not actually thought of as bread here. Also the answer is to treat chickens and other animals more humanely, make their living conditions better and cleaner, then you won't need to bathe the shit covered cuts of meat and eggs with chlorine.

[@jietoh0072]

red meat? Check color of EU meat vs US . I choose EU every time. The reason eu loves fresh meat . The us loves packed meat . There is a video about it eu meat vs us.

Making bread is super easy. You just need some bread flour, a bit of yeast, and some water. Mix it all together, let it sit for a few hours (or halve the yeast and let it sit overnight), and then bake it. 🍞🥐🥖

[@raycardy4843]

Yep - just need to make sure that the flour you use is not full of additives! If you have a source of organic or farm-milled flour, that would be best!

[@ThornyLittleFlower]

A great way to delve into bread baking is to make your own pizza dough. 🍞 The process is the same, except you can pretty much roll it straight out five to ten minutes after mixing it. ⏱️ Put all the stuff you like on a pizza and bake it. 🍕 I work in a secondary school kitchen in England, and we make 60 large pizzas from scratch every single day. As well as fresh vegetables, pies, chicken tikka wraps, baguettes, and sandwiches. Lots of chips, 🍟 roast potatoes, so many potatoes 🤦‍♀️ ... shortbread, flapjacks, apple crumbles, cakes, and a ton of custard. All cooked fresh in the school. The menu works on a three-week rotation.

[@NickiSixx1]

We don’t have those Debbie rolls in Sweden either, Sweden is like Norway when it comes to what’s ok or not

[@Shukuyou]

Oh, you want to learn how to make your own bread? Here's an easy recepie for you: 2 cups of roomtempered water 3 cups of flour 1 oz of yeast 1 teaspoon of salt Mix water and yeast. Add the flour and salt. Mix until the dough is smooth. Let the dough rest under a light blanket for 1 hour, or in the fridge over the night (if you want fresh bread in the morning). Once rested, turn the oven on to 450 F (225 C) and portion out the dough to fist size buns on a baking sheet. Once the oven is hot, bake for 10-15 minutes. Done.

[@AgonizingDemise]

You don't have to keep your own chickens, but you can buy from good (organic) sources rather than the cheapest shit in the supermarket where you know the animals suffered and the chemicals are everywhere. Also, food colloring is added because consumers buy it more. Would you buy grey ham? probably not cause it looks old and bad. But you buy pink ham. Ham isn't originally pink, it's grey. It is heavily collored so it gets bought more.

[@suzannebaxter2888]

I'm English and the easiest way to know if your bread has something else added is it's shelf life date. I learned how to make bread from my mom and grandmother. Making bread is easier than making pastry, once you have mastered it you will NEVER buy shop bread again. My siblings were diagnosed with Coeliac which is not as many believe linked to gluten. The bread back then had to be given in a prescription and no word of a lie it took on the consistency of a hockey puck out of eight kids only two of us didn't get it. People are persuaded to use something with good propaganda advertisement. If I have run out of bread I will never ever buy it from a supermarket I buy it from a local bakery that I know what they put in it. I grow my own veg or I acquire it from my local farmer same goes for my eggs. The UK has some of the most strictest food laws going. They will shut you down.

[@rachelpenny5165]

I used to make my own bread years ago. But now I have an intolerance to wheat so I haven't found a decent gluten-free loaf recipe yet. I am still looking for one and even have a second hand bread machine which works well.

[@imajinallthepurple]

Three things (no. 2 isn't strictly related to this video but to food choices in general): 1) As a children's nutritionist: *Do NOT give honey to kids under the age of 1!* Honey may contain the bacteria Clostridium Botulinum that causes *fatal* botulism in infants because their system is not yet ready to fight it. So please expose them to pollen etc. in other ways. 2) The term "light". All it means is that it's lighter on fat than the standard product from that specific company. The normal product from one brand may be even lighter on fat than the light product from another brand so read the labels. 3) Standard US sliced white bread contains approximately six times as much sugar as the EU equivalent so it's no wonder if you think it tastes sweet. 😅

The dose makes the poison

[@Alakablam]

I remember Subway in the Ireland isnt't allowed to call their bread "bread" because there is so much sugar in it, the supreme court ruled it basically falls under the cake category. And the GMO bit, it has less to do with specific dangers to the human body, and more with the effect on the species of plant in the long run, as in changing DNA and enhancing certain qualities will probably unintentionally also increase certain vulnerabilities from certain bugs/weather/diseases etc. potentially destroying a whole species in one go, and saying Oops! won't fix that.
