Theres a very long list of US products that cannot be sold in the EU thanks to EU regulations. Since the favorite pastime of the Trump regime and every US oligarch is now to demonize EU regulations, I thought it would be very much worth going through some of those products.🧵
US Instant Mashed Potatoes
Stuffed with enough BHA and BHT preservatives to give the product an expiration date of absolutely never, the EU decided to outright ban the product, depriving Europeans from what is otherwise a cheap and convenient way to encourage hairloss.

US Pork
Because American pigs are often fed large amounts of ractopamine, a drug that does wonders in increasing muscle growth in pigs and cancer in humans, the EU has deemed the product unsafe and banned it, seemingly without much concern for the profits of US oligarchs.

US Artificial Blueberries
Banned in the EU but found in nearly every US product claiming to have actual blueberries in it, the fake blueberries get their blue from a totally safe and tasty petroleum derived dye, one highly recommended for those looking to grow a third arm.

US Rice
Thanks to US companies occasionally spraying a totally safe arsenic based pesticide on their rice paddies, somewhat inexplicably, the European Union decided to put US rice on its watchlist, requiring it to be tested for arsenic before being sold to Europeans.

US Chicken Meat
The American habbit of bathing chicken meat in chlorine, a very safe and cheap practice legal in the US, led the European Union to ban US chicken meat and treat it basically like a chemical weapon that has a high likelyhood of helping one develop superpowers.

US Frozen Dinners
Containing a totally safe chemical also widely used to bleach plastic, the wide variety of US frozen dinners have been deemed as unsafe for human and animal consumption in the EU, a widely unpopular move among Europeans looking for a quick way to get cancer.

US Chocolate Milk
Following several studies that have found the product to really help in never seeing what life beyond 50 looks like, or at least not remembering it for long given it seems to also cause Alzheimer's, the EU banned this otherwise delicious US product.

US Maraschino cherries
Pretty much America's favorite cocktail garnish, deemed safe by the US despite containing a red dye linked to everything from allergies to dementia, most of the EU banned the consumption of these cherries, forcing Europeans to eat actual cheeries.

US Apples
Known to otherwise keep the doctors away, thanks to the diphenylamine they are sprayed with, regular consumption of US apples is a great way to make sure you will end up seeing multiple confused doctors and has been banned from sale in the European Union.

The list is so long, it can only take a team effort to complete it, so do feel free to contribute, fellow Europeans!
To be fair, whatever scrutiny the US government lacks in regulating food that may or may not turn you into a mutant ninja turtle, it more than makes up for by having its Secretary of Pestilence discredit lifesaving vaccines.
