Why demand the right to get ripped off and made sick?

"It's not fair! The EU has much higher standards for food than the USA and that's why most countries don't want US food produce!" Aww...In general the EU sets rules to protect its civilians while the USA sets rules to protect its politicians' sponsors. 

It's why the stuff that Americans call 'bread' would be found in the candy section at European supermarkets. If the shelf life of bread is four weeks, it's not bread but candy. 


Only 0.00001% of all US beef could be sold in the EU. Most US farmers stuff their livestock full of hormones. Leading to huge healthcare concerns and the wry fact that worldwide in our modern days more people die from being obese - and related diseases - than from malnutriton.

Do you think a government should protect citizens or should rules be in place to mostly protect the profits of 'the elite' like Big Oil, Big Pharma and Big Agro, the main sponsors of most US politicians?

Interesting fact: in civilised countries a politician who takes money from a company that directly benefits from the lawmaker's decisions is considered corrupt. Isn't conflict of interests against the law in the USA?
