The 29th of March cannot come Fast Enough. We need to be rid of this venomous little man TUSK and Truly we have seen the mask slip from the face of the EU. No Longer will they appear to be a benign bureaucracy that is servant to democracy and respects the Will of it's People but rather an angry cabal of autocrats who only supports Democracy as far as it's electorate support.

Remainers need to Ask Themselves if this is what they truly Voted for? It is really Charming as who came to Polands aid in 1939? Great Britain did and THIS is the respect we receive from a Polish president.

It's an amazing clash of cultures and philosophies:

quote:

British supermarkets don't refrigerate eggs. It's not unusual to find stacks of egg cartons sitting alongside canned beans, boxes of dry cake mix, or other traditionally nonperishable foods.

This is unlike the US, where eggs are found in the refrigerated dairy aisle with the butter, cheeses, and milk.

The difference is linked to the way that eggs are farmed and processed in the US compared with in the UK and other European nations.

In the US, the Department of Agriculture (USDA) requires that eggs destined for supermarket shelves - called graded eggs - are washed and sprayed with a chemical sanitiser before they are sold to the public to reduce the risk of salmonella infection.

In the UK, Grade A hen eggs may not be washed because the process is thought to "aid the transfer of harmful bacteria like salmonella from the outside to the inside of the egg," according to the Food Safety Authority of Ireland. Forbes contributor Nadia Arumugam has previously noted that USDA graded eggs could not be legally sold in the UK (and the other way around) because of these different preparation methods.

probably. i'd imagine EU standards for raising lifestock would indeed increase the risk if the eggs were washed whereas American production methods are so indescribably terrible that the risk is lower if the eggs are washed

If your egg came from a hen that had a name, was well cared for, and relatively well off then the European beliefs about eggs are correct. What do you think the odds are that's where the eggs you're eating came from? The EU has a higher rate of salmonella than the US because of a fantasy version of where food comes from. The data I found to back this up is old as hell and if someone has better please post.

Basically though, if your layers exist in chicken-hell which is where the eggs we eat in America come from you need to wash them. Most of the eggs you eat elsewhere also come from chicken-hell but the manufacturers pretend they don't.

The European method tends to lead to eggs having a longer shelf life and lower risk of salmonella poisoning since all chickens have to be vaccinated. The downside is that all are chickens are now autistic.

The issue is further complicated by this:

quote:

The Right Refrigeration Methods

After an egg is refrigerated, it must be kept at that temperature.�"A cold egg left out at room temperature can sweat, facilitating the growth of bacteria that could contaminate the egg,"�according to the United Egg Producers association.�"Refrigerated eggs should not be left out more than two hours."
That's why the Centers For Disease Control and Prevention recommends that US consumers keep eggs refrigerated at temperatures of 40 degrees F - to prevent illness from bacteria. "In the EU it is generally suggested that eggs are stored at an ambient temperature of around 17 to 23 degrees C (62 to 73 degrees F)," Fielder says.

But there's another reason the UK is not as concerned about washing eggs as the US: Salmonella is not as big of a health concern in Britain. Egg farmers began vaccinating their hens in 1997, after thousands of people were sickened by the bacteria.
Although vaccination has been linked to a�rapid decline of salmonella cases in the UK, US regulators have still not mandated immunisations, although�many of today's eggs producers do vaccinate their hens. In 2010, the FDA said it would not legally require the vaccination of hens because "there was not enough evidence to conclude that vaccinating hens against salmonella would prevent people from getting sick,"�The New York Times reported. Farmers also complained that it would be expensive. Instead, the FDA controls the threat of salmonella through regular testing, refrigeration standards, and strict sanitary codes in hen houses and processing areas, The Times said.

Salmonella is the most common cause of food poisoning in the US,�according to the US Food and Drug Administration�(FDA). The organisation estimates that more than�140,000�people get sick each year from eating eggs contaminated with the bacteria, which triggers non-life-threatening (though unpleasant) symptoms like diarrhoea, cramps, and vomiting.

So as you can see, just eggs have issues that involve vaccination standards, chemical treatment standards, temperature control (and thus also complicating the method transportation).

Now imagine that the UK wants to import American eggs, what a clusterfuck that would be, and how many different regulations and production processes would have to be changed before importing can begin.

Now imagine that's also the case for every other food product.

Also now it's april 1st and the UK is already running out of eggs. What do you do???

Brexit is everything. It covers seven tenths of the terrestrial globe. Its breath is pure and healthy. It is an immense desert, where man is never lonely, for he feels life stirring on all sides. Brexit is only the embodiment of a supernatural and wonderful existence. It is nothing but love and emotion, it is the living infinite.

it is seriously difficult to oversell how awful US egg farms are, and the treatment of the workers on them. they make hog CAFOs and slaughterhouses seem downright pleasant.
