Certainly.

You can have my red dye #40 when you pry it from my cold, self-induced, dead hands.

Places such as the UK have banned all sorts of additives, including food dyes and their food mostly sucks. Lacks flavor, lacks texture. Their lack of cooking techniques (boil most things) does not help. Even their fast food is mostly reheated from frozen. Freezing is how they stabilize food storage instead of preservatives.

I haven't done much traveling to Europe, but visited Italy a couple years ago, and the food there was pretty good.

I felt much less ****ty after eating there than I do here.

Honest question, can you name a single thing this administration does that you agree with?

Don't you think its a little strange that you literally disagree with everything? Thats not a naturally derived world view. Thats propaganda.

let's try to stay on topic here, this thread is not about me. But if the mods will excuse a slight discursion: I like that he isn't currently planning expanded gun control (although the Trumpians floated it recently, banning trans people from owning guns).

Italian and Greek food use more spices and more varied cooking techniques and is much better than UK food.

Salt and pepper is spicy to them. Nor do they like sugar very much, irrespective of source, refined or raw. Putting a can of Heinz beans on top of toast is about as adventurous food wise that they get. Very few friend foods if any. Meat proteins are very limited to chicken, beef, pork, occasionally lamb or mutton. The only seafood they get is cod or haddock in fish and chips. (One of the few things fried.)

They also have an obsession with diabetes from eating anything sweet or clogged arteries from meat and fried foods. Nor do they eat a lot fruits nor vegetables other than plain baked potatoes with maybe some margarine on them but never loaded with bacon, cheese or sour cream.

To say Brits have a very limited palate is an understatement.

I have a feeling the UK will get more exposure to spice and middle eastern cuisine soon enough!

I'm guessing that at a time when inflation has already wrecked people financially, they found out that it would cause prices to go up.

And they decided not to cause prices to go up.

Ok man. I just think its funny that we have gone from "RFK is an idiot and all his ideas are stupid" to "oh my God corruption" when he changes his mind.

To be fair, most of the people on this thread authentically wanted RFK to be successful. You just weren't one of them.

I don't think he changed his mind unless he is 100% grifting. I think he believes a lot of the non-scientific nonsense he has publicly espoused. Grant you, he may be 100% grifting.

I think he has been forced to abandon many of the legs of his MAHA stool because of Trump. And Trump's reason is cash-money.

This summer we stayed a couple days in Athens, boarded the Star Flyer with 2-stops in Greece, 3 stops in Croatia ended with 3 days in Venice, then a train to Milan for 3 days.
The food was great, I lost 15 lbs. because the food satiated me, so I wasn't hungry for snacks every night.
This isn't scientific evidence but only anecdotal, but I am rooting for Kennedy to help and see no need for red#40 or many of the artificial colors.

Like I said, the Italians and Greeks know how to use spices and fresh ingredients since they have longer growing seasons than the UK has. Plus the Italians and Greeks cook a lot of seafood and fish. Much more varied diet which is healthier.

I must say some of the best seafood and Lamb I ever eaten was in Greece especially inland. Just don't ask for ketchup with their potatoes that they serve with every meal it seems.

LOL. Little need for condiments when they can cook savory food without them.

Contrast that to the UK where extra sauces are needed to add some type of flavor.

Occams Razor and common sense within the context of the current "affordability" talking points that your own party launched and that the media has latched onto would tell you that what SunrayAg posted just above you is far more likely the truth.

Your ability to critically think about anything is so corrupted by your TDS that you can't make any coherent points.

Again this is why you never see RFK wearing shorts in public. Cause he's taking it in the shorts behind closed doors, vis--vis the absolute gutting of MAHA.

MORE PESTICIDES, MORE HERBICIDES, MORE ARTIFICIAL COLORS....AND YOU WILL LIKE IT!!!!

Wait I thought you weren't against glyphosate?

I feel like the only thing Trump is delivering on that he also campaigned on is stopping and reversing illegal immigration, but I'm OK with that.

Trump has nuked like 350,000 Federal government jobs, the most in history. The NGOs are no longer being funded. DOGE was the team that shined a light on it.

We win some, we lose some. If Trump truly were a dictator as lefties claim, you'd get your wish.

Spent two weeks in France during the holidays. The food all over France was preservative free. We even took the grands to McDonald's where they proclaimed that it tasted much better there than back here. The French fries in Europe only contain potatoes, salt and dextrose.
