Sorry but we in Europe don’t want chicken raised up in filth so that it must be chlorinated and even then still has much higher levels of salmonela, beef with hormones affecting the growth of young people (and making the meat shit) or chemicals allowed into public use under the principle of “it can be sold until proven bad” rather than the principle “it has to be proven not bad before it can be sold”.

In other words, we’re fine with our higher life expectancy and better health outcomes and don’t want to suffer the consequences of shit American-style “regulation”.

Dropping European trade borders would be horrible, especially with America: stuff isn’t more expensive to produce in Europe because Europeans are shit at growing/making them, they’re more expensive to produce here because we actually have consumer protection standards which have costs to be obbeyed rather than the Free For All of America (and to a lesser extent of most other Anglo-Saxon countries) were pretty much everything goes for maximum profits for corporates even at the cost of fucking everybody else.
