Motivational Rant – American vs. European Food Standards (BIG DIFFERENCE)

I know that food manufacturing companies actually send different recipes to Europe.

They make it one way for us and another way for them because their standards are higher, and so they will not import much of our crap.

Lets start with ketchup…

European version:
Tomatoes
Vinegar or spirit vinegar
Sugar
Salt
Spice
Herb extracts

Our version:
Tomato concentrate
Distilled vinegar
High fructose corn syrup
Corn syrup
Salt
Spice
Onion Powder
Natural Flavoring

Why do we need this extra corn syrup?
Why do we feed our cows corn?

There stomachs aren’t meant to digest corn, they are meant to digest grass.

What does corn do?

It makes them fat! Corn is toxic and so get rid of it.

They give corn to cows to make them fat.

Do you want to be fat? NO! So don’t eat corn or corn-related products.

They will hide it on anything because they are so cheap.

The FoodBabe that I have been following for quite some time did a post where she talked about all the different ingredients.

Let’s do quaker oats…

European version:
Wholegrain rolled oats
Sugar
Freeze dried raspberry pieces
Freeze dried strawberry pieces
Natural Flavouring

Our version:
Whole grain rolled oats
Sugar
Creaming agent (Maltodextrin, Sunflower and Palm Oils, Whey, Sodium Caseinate)
Flavored and colored fruit pieces
(Dehydrated Apples [treated with sodium sulfite], Artificial strawberry, Citric Acid, Red 40).
Salt
Guar gum
Artificial flavor
Citric acid
Niacinamide
Reduced iron
Pyridoxine
Hydrochloride
Riboflavin
Thiamin Monitrate
Folic acid

How about mountain dew?

European version:
Carbonated Water
Sugar
Citric Acid
Ascorbic Acid
Caffeine
Flavourings
Potassium Sorbate
Gum Arabic
Colour (Beta Carotene)

Our version:
Carbonated Water
High Fructose
Corn Syrup
Concentrated Orange Juice
Citric Acid
Natural Flavor
Sodium Benzoate
Caffeine
Sodium Citrate
Erythorbic Acid
Gum Arabic
Calcium Disodium EDTA
Brominated Vegetable Oil
Yellow 5

ALL of these are garbage!

GET ZEVIA INSTEAD!!!

Now, why are they doing this? Because it is cheaper to make.

You guys need to be your best advocate.

In the U.S we are able to inject our cows with either 6 or 7 hormones, that is why young girls get their periods and developed breast way too early because of the hormones.

But Europe won’t import our meat because of that the same reason.

These companies have food “scientists” to create addictive flavors so that you eat them and crave more. It is both a brain thing and a blood sugar rollercoaster thing.

Your brain wants more so that is why it is addictive.

Why are they giving Europeans better food that they give ourselves when in fact It’s made from here.

Don’t you have to deserve a higher quality product?

Pay attention and read your labels! Whole foods are always best!

Be discerning because you are your best advocate.
