a burrito usually have a lot of ingredients

>>14346592
>scrambled eggs
>water
>cheddar cheese
>green chiles
>food starch
>cheese sauce
>tortilla
>water
>vegetable shortening
Sounds perfectly normal to me.

I know I'm replying to a bait post, I think it's kinda neat that USA has to disclose the ingredients' ingredients within processed foods like cheese. But of course, it scares brainlets and yuropoors who somehow think THEIR food is different because their consumer protection is less transparent.

It's not horrible, but it's not good either.

>>14347130
what's less than good about any of those

>>14346592
This is truth in labeling. Yes.
It has a lot of filling, and each one is enriched, stabilized, plus thickeners and each part needing a cooking oil and/or dehydrated to remove moisture content. You'd sue them when molten pepper juice and superheated steam squirted out. Oh well. It's good for a while/long shelf life life, but you could batch cook it too, from scratch it! Wrap well, freeze it, and have it last a couple of weeks only, to be safe. Microwave 50% power or bake tightly in foil, finishing at a bit of browning. Innovation!

I wouldn't want either of those in a cheese sauce.

>Dough Conditioner
This is the only one I'm unfamiliar with.

Aside from those it all seems fine. A lot of thickeners, binders, fillers, and preservatives though. I guess that's necessary if you want a ready to eat filling that doesn't separate. I imagine it would be a lot simpler if you just had packages of eggs, sausage, cheese, peppers, seasoning. How much extra effort is that?

This. USA is extremely anal about this. Other countries have the same ingredeints but they're allowed to not discole the ingrediens witint the ingredients

>who somehow think THEIR food is different

This is literally the problem, the average Europoor is brainwashed by socialist gimmicks like healthcare and education to the point that they truly believe their governments aren’t exploiting them equally or more than the US does to its citizens.

>>14348152
They also complain about things like American prices not including sales tax, but fail to realize that we do it for the purposes of transparency. Including sales tax into all prices simply makes you less aware of how much tax you're paying. It leads to myths like the idea that the average American pays more in taxes than the average European despite European income and sales taxes being monumentally higher than those in America. They're so ignorant to so many things going on around them thanks to their government literally hiding shit from them right under their noses and yet they try to act superior about it all.

>>14347889

I sure hope you survived that stroke

>>14348182
I wrote a post and literally had to delete the entire thing because it got spam filtered relentlessly, and I have literally no fucking idea why.
I think many Europeans are hypocrites and love to criticize Americans for the exact same behaviors they exhibit in order to cope with their dystopian societies, because it allows them to believe there’s always somewhere worse. In the same vein, Americans idolize Europeans despite the fact that their “cultured and sophisticated” existence is marked by all of the same cultural problems we have, and many of them are even worse because of how much they are exploited just as you said. Then again, the idolizing is probably just a (((Hollywood))) move in order to push America to the same dystopian government-types that led to Europe being so fucked.

>>14346592
>Is this normal?
No.

It looks like someone copypasted the ingredients list for each component of the burrito and slapped them all together. Many ingredients are listed multiple times. Hell, the "contains 2% or less of the following" phrase occurs twice.

>>14346592
CLIF protein cookies have more.

>>14346670
>neat that USA has to disclose the ingredients' ingredients within processed foods like cheese. But of course, it scares brainlets and yuropoors who somehow think THEIR food is different

singapoor here. we import our food from all over the world. we had ingredients list for most products fordecdes now! 1000 percent certain there are ingredients listings on both muricunt and yuropoors products. even pure refined salt gets an ingredients section on the packaging... it just says "salt".

>>14348358

It's okay soiboi, if you're worried about your low-t levels just go to Alex Jones website and purchase Super Male Vitality and drink that up. Maybe while you're at it buy some Alpha Power to become a big strong ALPHA male and Brain Force Plus so you can stop being a fucking braindead retard who thinks soy is some new invention and has been plaguing modern society because of government conspiracies.

holy fuck, go work out you fat fuck you have man boobs because you sit online and jerk off all day, not because of soy.

>>14348358
No one cares about singapoor

I fry eggs in butter, I make scrambled eggs with no oil or butter.

>>14348580
>he uses teflon to scramble eggs
and we're worse off than we started

>>14348626
If you keep the eggs moving and don't overcook them they won't stick even to a stainless steel pan.

>>14346592
It's american

>>14348636
yes they will
hell, they'll stick to teflon most of the time. you might as well scramble it in the microwave if you're that afraid of a lil butter

>>14348708
It sounds like you overcook your scrambled eggs, honestly. I'm not afraid of oil or butter, I just find it unnecessary for scrambled eggs.

>>14348747
anon your stove isn't special, you don't have some magical technique
there's a reason dupont has made such a killing off nonstick pans, and this is that reason. cooking eggs on steel sucks.

>>14346670
>>14346592
The only time you should be worried is when it says "Made in China" the country where counterfeit eggs is actually a thing.

>>14348861
>anon your stove isn't special, you don't have some magical technique
I agree, I'm not doing anything other than just cooking scrambled eggs the normal way. But it involves moving the eggs around so much that they never have a chance to stick in any significant way and they don't lose enough of their water content to burn onto the surface or anything. A fried egg or omelette will absolutely stick, though, and that's why I always cook those with butter.

>>14346592
>>14347795
This is why I grow my own food & vegetables, that way I know exactly what I'll be eating, and it won't be filled with all this chemical bullshit filler

>>14346670
why would they use sodium metabisulfite in dough? do they use it to halt fermentation when making big batches in a factory?

>>14348982
no you don't, you have no clue what chemicals and scary names make up the natural products you grow. Remember, everything you eat is made entirely of chemicals

>>14348934
What do you mean? Gypsum and soybeans are totally nutritionally equivalent to eggs.

>>14349040
I was gonna comment that flour tortillas are not usually fermented, but that ingredients label contains yeast so I guess those are. Weird.
But no, sodium metabisulfite is a reducing agent, aka a dough relaxer. It makes it easier to stretch out. So it makes weakens the gluten structure and makes it easier to stretch out to a thin tortilla.

no. take an organic flour tortilla. grill it till its hot and a little crunchy. make some scrambled eggs with egg salt and pepper and a little cheese. pour into tortilla. there you have it. how hard is that? you dont need hash browns, sausage, etc. too much work. maybe a slice of bacon for flavor and crunch. god people are lazy

>>14346592
no prob

>>14346676
enjoy your low levels of ATP

everyone knows this
why do you people get triggered by people who don't want their food made in a chemist's laboratory?

>>14352986
>everyone knows this
apparently not
Even if some people know it at some level it clearly doesn't cross their mind when seeing specific things broke down into components but not seeming the same for natural products

>>14352992
god damn i typed all this and it's not spam

>>14353038
the only difference is transparency, you see all the components and it scares you, with re ingredients you don't know the names of the chemicals involved so you don't think about it

>>14346592
Made in the USA

>>14346670
Ingredients of ingredients must be included in EU
But we don't like to put half the chemistry lab in our food so there is no need for all of that shit

>>14353070
there is a lot more leeway to hide stuff on EU labels

>>14353059
i mean if you want to import processed seaweed from a third world country and put it in your ice cream that's fine but i don't know why you have a sense of superiority about it is all

>>14353086
>i don't know why you have a sense of superiority about it is all
what are you talking about? No one ever said it is better, people are just telling you to calm down because its fine

>>14353142
the reply chain is specifically about being triggered at people avoiding chemical food additives

>>14353148
yes, no one is saying chemical additives are better inherently (though they obviously are in many situations), people are saying they are fine and its dumb to specifically get mad at them for sounding scary while not recognizing how scary the names of many naturally occurring chemicals in your food are

>>14353158
and i'm saying it's dumb to think that scary names and everything is chemicals is why people avoid these products in the first place

>>14353169
its absolutely the primary reason, just look at the fucking OP, thats what this thread is about

sure mate

>>14353247
the EU regulates food labeling, so while it is made of constituent countries in a sense, the EU itself is really in charge
Of course there are countries outside the EU that are technically in or partially in Europe but obviously those are not what we are talking about, no one here cares about fucking Moldova's food labeling laws

>>14346670

Enjoy your “””sovereign””” European “””nation””” while it still lasts, you poor brainwashed soul.

>>14353650
This. Europoors love to point out that their continent has many different nations, meanwhile they’re all getting cucked by the EU and forced to adapt to a “European lifestyle” whether the country accepts it or not.
But then, hypocritically as possible (because europoors are the biggest hypocrites) they’ll make the assumption that California, New York, Texas, and maybe Florida make up the entire US while ignoring all of the other states like Nevada, Arizona, New Hampshire, montana, etc.
