Massive amounts of sugar are beeing added to all sorts of consumables these days because it sells well. (not only in the usa btw,also in europe where we pretty much have similar brands and products. This isnt meant as a joke about obesitas just to be clear and before people misunderstand my comment,i dont joke about such things. It is meant as a serious remark about food these days) Not so much because it is what the people want but because most people make their choice subconscious and then become semi adicted to the product. | ||

Then I think it's probably unfair to call it garbage to compared to US produced pork. Adherence to said standards be as it may, it very much seemed like a thinly veiled jab to me. | ||

You might be interested to learn China has actually been outsourcing pork production to the US in part due to the more lax regulations here. How lax regulation made it cheaper for China to outsource pork production – and all of its environmental and human costs – to the U.S. www.rollingstone.com | ||

"You can't call it garbage because they have food standards that nobody gives a shit about" doesn't work as an argument. | ||

Semi-addicted is generous, I guess it’s just less noticeable than other substances. Iirc part of it is (in the US context anyway) that corn subsidies really incentivised whacking corn starch in all sorts of goods that you don’t see elsewhere. | ||

Well, it's better to know said regulations first to know whether or not they're being adhered to, don't you think? Point anyway was to find out reports on whether or not imported Chinese pork in fact does have any discrepancies/is below US standards. I was curious if there was any evidence to support that claim | ||

PA isn't over until they send electors that will definitely vote for Biden (assuming he has more votes). If Trump can keep them from completely finalizing the vote with a Biden lead (like all the legal/bureaucratic dotting of i's and crossing of t's) he can lobby the legislature (Republican) to send electors loyal to him. | ||

Tons of votes have been counted quickly,not only election day votes but also a large part of the mail in and drop in votes. Yet counting the last 5% in the most critical states has to take forever and it takes longer then counting the first 95% of the votes. It no doubt has its valid reasons but its a bit frustrating indeed. | ||

I know its possible, but I really don't think that happens. There would be blood in the streets, a lot of it if that happened | ||
