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".

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

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.

In Australia, we either inoculate their very few cage eggs, which are still produced, basically only really for companies, ironically like McDonalds, hungry jacks, and your bigger restaurant catering business. For general public consumption, probably 80 per cent off eggs 🥚 are free range ( chickens not caged in their lifetime) and then off those free range you have completly organic ( no use of any chemicals that are not already present, and no use of drugs or hormones or adivitives) so this gives us the choice of buying for health non caged eggs ( watch a video if they are not all banned seriously! Of how caged birds life is lived that is what causes the need for the chlorine dip !! Seriously to much writing needed to try and even start explaining how awful for the animal but also for the food produced under constant stress, shitting on top of each other in cages no bigger than they are, where after a couple of weeks of life there legs break and they cannot even shift about .....eh yuk just thinking about it... I live in the food bowl of the country with farms bigger than some American states in land size !! For me to be discussed with animal treatment is saying something. 😮 but yes, just to finish this point off, it is now a case of buying for health and/or animal welfare reasons and $ is applied obviously to the less chickens per hectares & level of organic farming involved as obviously the less birds per hectares using age old techniques to kill of pests ( for example you might need an acid to kill of some bacteria, rather than using a spray off some chemical on the bird, you have the costs involved in using something like a for urguments sake a bi product of lemon production to do the same thing but with more labour, more expense usally, with risk of a treatment not working and loosing upto all of that years animals.) Again, like others have said & I think it is a greater point than my friend here from the B****** UK has pointed out about the eggs being left out rather than put in the fridge. This is completely possible to do here in australia, and where I live in Northern Victoria in the summer, most days will sit at 40° -46° degrees centregrate, or around 100 F° - 114 F° this being average with much higher and lower temps thrown in, but with only winter being prominent as below 50° F the rest of the year is considered hot to Britain and some parts of Europe. Of course, you can not leave the eggs out in the sun, I have been able to fry an egg of metal objects left in the sun, though. Stuff it I have already waffled on to much but if anyone makes it this far please give a votes up or reply, as most people don't want to read anything , and would not even read a contract for loan so ... but yeah, if you got this far and you are still with me. I have only just come across this channel whilst watching something else and ofcourse started watching, so I'm 20 videos in and only one comment. I have ended up writing too much as I have found, even as recently as 2 months ago, whilst on holiday and surrounded by Americans on a very high level expensive, very low number of passenger to staff and ship size cruise, as I had said I would never do a cruise as they are a floating vector of illness, as they are all run for Americans so it is all supersize , big buckets of food, served in big bamereies no thanks. But the Americans are so annoying to travel with as they really do have the most warped idea of the reality of the world. There are ofcourse degrees on these things and not all Americans are the same, but with food they wanted the best of the best ingredients but they want large sizes, they want to be over the top fussed over ( they have picked this up from the most annoying travels in the world the highly opinionated, highly wealthy, highly conservative but sexually & behaviourally questionable upper crust British couples or single men). So all of this links into every video I have watched with these creaters, and it is something more Americans need to desperately wake up to , is that America is not the centre of the world and even in countries with no free and open press , have more idea of what is going on outside of there country than Americans do. So I noted this : * all topics of discussion if unfortunately seated with them are Americans centric to the extent that unless you as a "foreigner " are aware of the state politics and the ins and outs of the way people from different states interact with each other, then you are totally and completly lost in the conversation, and allthough on holiday in this case in spain, Portugal, France, Holland and Belgium ( 3 weeks of cruise amongst 2 1/2 months) made those three weeks long as they had done little research into life in any of those countries and don't listen to the advice on behaviour , so if someone in the group was going to do something that would spit in the face of the hospitality of the people of that country it was Americans, as what happens in America should be how it is done everywhere. * Food was a massive one like I said they want the best of the best, but don't have the palet for it, and so you end up with expensive ingredients going into blanded down dishes for there tastes. Don't get me started on steak 😤. Look to much to much written f*ck , so 🤷 summary: the "grown" steak that is being made now and the next big thing to get beef cattle in particular off the paddocks world wide due to the methane produced. I Swear to God I would love to do an experiment to test this, as it is conpletly on world view and how Americans think compared to most other nations. Get 11 people from around the world to try this test tube meat 🍖, and for the 12th person make them American and let them ask a question in whatever order you like, where as most others first thought would be to question the safety , long term and short term safety, the ethics, the direction it might take all food production, the American will always be the one that would ask " So if I have it right and you are growing steak, so you must control its size, shape, texture etc. So does that mean that the super fatty steak I like that at best you can cut to 350 to 500gms, awsome so you can grow me to order a New York Strip steak with all the most tasty bits like fat increased x 5 what an animal would ever produce and you can grow it for me to 2kg but grow it all as a NY steak ?

In Germany we regularly eat raw minced pork meat for breakfast.

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.

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.

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.

Like anywhere else in the world, there are good and bad things about the US, but one thing that I find frustrating when I’m Stateside is how sweet the bread generally is. I can buy brioche or other sweet breads here if that’s what I want, but most breads - even the relatively inexpensive ones - won’t be sweet. In the US, I find the opposite is true. Unless I buy sourdough, purchase from a specialist bakery or make my own, the bread will be very sweet tasting to my European palette. Even if I bake something like shokupan (a Japanese-style slightly sweet enriched sandwich bread), it won’t be nearly as sweet as the majority of loaves I’d purchase from nearby American grocery stores.

On joining the EEC food standards in the UK had to be raised to meet EEC regulations. Sure there was resentment among food manufacturers and processors, farmers and large grocery chains because it was thought that costs to them would increase. Then there was that good old British ailment, xenophobia with so many people (but then still a minority) being particularly resentful at the UK, "...being told what to do by foreigners". Decades of lies told by the Daily Fail, News of the Screws and other rightist rags about the EEC/EU fuelled British exceptionalism and xenophobia to the extent that when presented with "Cameron's Folly" the UK narrowly voted to leave the EU, to this country's great cost. Now it is starting to dawn on some of the slightly more than half of our populace who were benighted enough to vote to leave the EU that the UK is now really small beer in terms of world power and influence and that being outside the EU has led to our position in terms of international trade becoming extremely weak.

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).

I found your question regarding animal hygiene and what the answer is to the problem super intriguing. I think there is no simple answer but a lot hat we as consumers can do. Like eat less or no meat. In my family we have biweekly schedule of meat week, veggie week, fish week, veggie week. Rinse and repeat. And if its meat week, doesn't mean we eat it every day. It means we have one or two meat meals during the week, the rest is, again vegetarian or sometimes vegan. Part of the issue in my eyes is the high demand for meat which incentivises mass production. But there are ofc more layers to it. Low meat prices forcing farmers to cut corners, a lot of food waste through pacakge deals and insane portion sizes. It's complicated.

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.

US Coke is made with High Fructose Corn Syrup. UK Coke is made with beet sugar. The EU has not banned High Fructose Corn Syrup, but it limits how much can be used, so Coke changed it's recipe for the EU. Also the chicken thing, Now the US is a big country, if anyone could do free range chickens, you got the land, more barns less chickens in each for better hygene etc. Then they would not need the chlorine wash. And could be allowed for export.

Ireland in 2020 ruled that the sugar content in Subway bread was too high to be categorised as bread. Subway got slammed in the UK because of the ingredients in their bread. I forget how many years ago, but it might even be more than a decade, it was the level of trans fats added to their bread which came under scrutiny.

I started making my own bread during the pandemic. I went online to find some teachers and Bake with Jack has become my go to for all things bread. Amazingly, home baked bread needs just flour, water, yeast and a little salt (I leave the salt out). You can add other ingredients as your skills improve. My first loaf was a bit heavy but I still ate it. My second loaf was better, and I continued to improve with each loaf. Try it and don’t give up! 👍😃😋😋. Don’t start with sour dough, treat that as an advanced level.

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. It is a lot more expensive but I do try and buy organic products as much as possible.

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.

Carrots do not benefit your eyesight, during the Second World War the Germans could not understand how British pilots could be so accurate in night raids, of course the answer was radar.

Like someone else was saying, its easy to get started with making bread, for a beginner though i would recommend getting some high quality flour, its easier to get a good result when you start out then. The web is your friend in this case there is a billion recipes for bread just pick one that you think looks interesting and start experimenting, you will not regret it. 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.

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 ❤️

Actually carrots contain a lot of Vitamin A which is also known as retinol. Retinol genuinely helps you to see better in dim light.

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. 😅

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.

No raw honey for babies (botulism). Also instead of fruit juices, you should just eat fruits because you get fiber from it. That way the sugar is not as bad. But yeah broccoli is still way healthier than fruits, but not many children like it.
