they do that because 'allegedly' they are'nt no where clean enough in their processing it seems , its a right turn off tbh.

 

[Briar]

On seeing this you can understand why people would advocate becoming vegetarian!
Hopefully makes the case with joe public to by locally produced food.

 

[Bobthebuilder]

Not just meat tho, huge levels of pesticides in fruit n veg as well

 

[Buggerallbandwidth]

Buy UK and buy local if you can. Traceability will be vital and we need to shout from the rooftops about the high standards of UK produced meat.

The size of those USA beef lots is mind boggling. Whats wrong with pastures and grass? Carbon capture too. We have to find our voice.

I speak to a few sprayer drivers in mid America and it’s clean off the amount of things they use that have been banned here for years! Trifluralin and Atrazine in enormous quantities of IBC’s. They buy tankers of glyphosate at a time

[Chae1]

Are lots of Americans dieing from eating meat and vegetables grown using these practices?

 

[le bon paysan]

To be fair, the journalist was very good. It was as pro UK farmer as anything I've seen on Channel 4 .
Hope John Snow watched it!

not dieing exactly but he said they get the shits quite often

An awful lot get sick. Far more in % than UK/ EU consumers. As you can die from e coli it would be fair to say more would die from antibiotic resistant contaminated food in the US than here.
