Summary
Donald Trump warned the UK must accept chlorinated US chicken imports if it wants relief from new 10% tariffs on British exports.
The U.K. has long reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining high food standards, with polling showing 80% of Britons oppose a ch imports.
Critics argue chlorinated chicken stems from poorer production hygiene, with studies showing high bacteria rates in US chicken.
Farming advocates warn a US trade deal with lower standards would be “devastating for British farming.”
It’s the best chlorinated chicken in the world, believe me, so beautiful…
A friend of mine worked as a butcher for Stop & Shop for a while. He had so many horrible stories of boot-shaped bruises on the chickens, overly saline-injected breasts gushing puddles on the block, partially cooked chicken from the heat shrink and labeling process, and more I can’t even remember right now. Our food supply chain is vile, and this was back in ~2000.
“So beautiful. So white and pure.”
Id like to know more about the chlorine part. What have I been eating?
Chlorine, growth hormones, and a looot of antibiotics.
Yay freedom!
