EU red tape.

Which the UK got rid of recently because "muh sovereignty" aka they want to sell out more prized companies, faster to China and they want bigger profit margins. To shove this down their public's throat they keep banging on about "fish and chips" and "full English breakfast" being "real English" garbage, but never mention the quality know-how they want to sell at premium prices (Quicke's, Stichelton, Jersey dry-aged beef, aged malt vinegar, Pippin's apples).

It’s mostly down to different regulations regarding food labels. The US is stricter than the EU in this regard, meaning labels on american foodstuffs have to break down the ingredients to an almost molecular level, whilst european foodstuffs can get by with abstractions like “sweeteners, various spices, food colouring” and so on.

The real question is why are yuropoors so obsessed with america?

I mean you can close your eyes and find inconsequential things they don't control, while mocking the very notion as ridiculous and dismiss it to your own detriment (unless of course, you yourself are Jewish). It doesn't make it any less true. The exceptionally rich corporate and banking class control most Western governments, and an astounding plurality of those in power are either Jewish, married to Jews, crypto-Jews (Jesuits, Masons, etc.) or married to crypto-Jews, with very few exceptions and of those few exceptions they are mostly goys who are blackmailed, bribed or threatened.

>The UK has harsh laws on using any sort of preservatives, including well-known harmless ones because of legislation in the early 90s that protected British farmers from cheaper, longer-lasting, and honestly more flavourful EU products using preservatives under the guise of being "for the nation's health."

Yeah it's pretty crazy Sprite here (not in the uk but outside of the US) has no sugar in it compared to the US. I looked at the ingredients and I was like what 12 grams of sugar per can (compared to the like 40 grams you normally see), and I thought I was crazy for never noticing it before when I lived in america. But I looked it up and it turns out american sprite has the normal ~40 grams of sugar, while outside has sprite with less sugar. Pretty nice ei don't have to feel guilty anymore.
