    Not the same a US Francfurter and one from the EU, which has a strict regulations regarding preparation and content. US food in general is one of the most unhealthy of the first world, due to additives banned in the rest of the world, to disguise bad and cheap quality.

      I once read an article about a football club who wanted to make pasta in their colours as merchandise. They weren’t allowed to, because one of the colours were blue and through some regulations, blue is not a “natural” colour that can be achieved with beets for red or spinach for green for example. I thought: oh interesting. And just a bit later i saw that cursed sonic curry that they sell in the us.

        There are also natural blue colors, but the problem isn’t the color, the problem is that in US food the color is artificial, because it’s cheaper than natural colors. If it is unhealthy, the industry give a fuck, important to gain more money. Collateral damages are nice for the friends from the pharma industry.

        Life expectancy in the US is more than 7 years lower than that of other first world countries. Too much stress, anxiety, crappy food with to much shugar and additives, inexistent healthcare. Capitalism kills
