    I hear the FDA actually controls American food in a much healthier way than European even though the opposite is commonly thought.

    What do you mean by this? Because when I look at lists of banned substances and why, or pesticide limits, the EC seems much stricter than the FDA.

      I don’t know enough to speak effectively to the overall point, but the banned food additive list and is only a microscopic portion of what food regulators do

        Lol, Europe spanks us on both those fronts.

        Where are you getting your information on that? Last time I checked there’s a whole lot of meats the EU won’t allow to be imported from the U.S., due to the additives and antibiotics used. This is particularly relevant to pork.
