[QUOTE="Brian Kinney, post: 318933, member: 3219"] Of course you can choose... if you can read the fine-print on the products. I look at the products very closely to read what is important to me. Takes a while but it's okay because I'm single an in early-retirement - doesn't stress me, I have enough time and shop early 7-8 in the morning in an empty supermarket. How about people who come after work or parents with kids - how much time do they have to focus on reading the stuff? Consumers have the right to buy decent food without spending half their time reading about risks. This should be clear as clean water from a tap. There are warning signs and shock images on cigarette packs - nicotine and alcohol are sold only to adults. Does anyone believe the corrupt American agriculture lobby groups care about that? Just keep in mind how in other cases their lobby groups were suing for decades to further sell poison (tobacco industry or the opioid crisis which is a result of the wrongdoings from pharma lobbyists). Or if the UK government agrees to sell such food: Will they actually demand that vegetable is sold only to adults and with shocking pictures on it? I don't think they declare the poison as what it is but I'm not the slightest surprised that the unethical American capitalism tries to attack the European market and if I were one of their lobbyists the British market would be my first target too - thanks to the Tories it's easier than selling weed to Snoop Dogg.
