Well no, you can't trust the US for food safety. I live here and am starting to doubt it myself.
Places that are not the usa have known this for decades. Ever wonder why nobody outside the usa buys your milk ? The meat is, uh, something. The list goes on.
Yeah, I spent 20 years living outside the US. The ignorance, even the "good" people, about the rest of the world has been painful to me for most of my adult life. It's been really weird hearing all this rah-rah USA! USA! shit every time I moved back and just experiencing a place getting shittier every time. I've had way too many fellow Americans ask, "If it's so bad here, where else in the world is as good?" That type of ignorance. Most of us can't even imagine the idea of there being better countries. Propaganda is a hell of a drug.
I was once in the middle of nowhere in Switzerland. Like some of the most idyllic and remote places in the country. i went to a gas station with a little shop. Even the gas station shop was 70% goods from around the place. There was only me and a big camper. There was an older guy in there, the camper guy. He looked at me and said: hah, fuck the yankees. I was like: excuse me? He pointed at my hat, and i said i don't care about baseball, or football(?) it's a fashion accessory. He kept on ranbling about the last season. Then he was asking the cashier for random things like coca cola and slim jims or whatever. The older cashier was just shrugging at him, because all she spoke was dialect. I told him that they don't have anything like that here, and people, especially older people don't speak english here. He was very angry and stomped out like a little child. I met some very nice (almost too nice) americans, but that's what people think when they think about your average murican.
Exactly this. US citizens can't trust them.
I mean could you ever? I have a canadien friend who sometimes travels the us and we always joke about the differences between his canadian, my european and then the american food. The weirdest thing was when he bought spinach and send me a picture and said: doesn't that look awefully green to you? And it was almost plastic looking. He said he had some green shits the next day. Also americans are the inverntors of fucking people over with food declarations. We once talked about how much i liked cap'n crunch as a child and that it doesn't exist here for like 20 years. Suddenly i got a package with two packs of cap'n crunch in the mail. It wasn't the ones that we had, it was very berry and something else. The postage alone was i think 50 dollars, and i felt horrible because that shit was inedible. I'm not even jokeing, it was one of the grossest things i ever ate, it tasted at the same time like cardboard and diabetes.
It's candy. People eat fucking candy for breakfast. It's disgusting.
But it's not even good candy. How do you fuck up sugary cereals. I never threw away cereals.
