I don't want to eat American meat

You don't want to eat it? Then don't buy it. No-one is going to force you.
Let us just take care to monitor what is being fed to school children. The cheapest might be the option there.

Don't buy it. Supermarkets will stock what people buy.

"I don't want to eat American meat"

Don't then. Choose meat from elsewhere. Customer power.

My son buys grass fed or organic meat in the USA. It is VERY expensive compared to their "ordinary" meat. The premium is much, much more than here.

What you may not know is that the "cheap" meat is what Americans mostly eat- The American grass fed is exported to countries with strict regulations- We import grass fed from Australia- It can also be purchased from local farmers when available-

We need to support our own farmers and stop importing so much food.
As I understand it there are no national laws in USA regarding food and animal safety each state has its own ideas. Disaster waiting to happen whilst our own hard working farmers go under. Definitely time to back Britain Blinko

You are right Bathsheba - that is something else discussed. We need to be "led by science" apparently.

I listened to "farming today" maybe a week ago talking about this. The US line is that we have been "denied choice" because of UK/EU food regulation which has different (actually better) standards and rules and now we can have more choice and cheaper meat.

Yes, those who can afford to will buy better quality but many will be forced to eat this poor-welfare product because it will inevitably be cheapest. I just hope our farmers aren't forced to compromise standards to stay in business.

Truly awful.

Chicken a-la-bleach----oooh lovely.

What's wrong with Australian ? If it has to be imported.

This is why Trump was so keen on Brexit---trade deals with the USA. A big mistake.

And it's not even going to help by going vegetarian, because no doubt all their GM crops will be imported here too

I definitely would take every precaution against eating American meat. It's high time for another Let's All Back Britain campaign. Where are the women from Dagenham when you need em?

While the Covid virus, Brexit, crowded beaches etc get the newspaper headlines, it makes wonder what backdoor deals are being done without us knowing.

We have fantastic meat in our own country, our farmers are second to none. Presumably it will be cheap meat imported, what we need to learn is good food is expensive. We all need to learn to buy better and eat less.

It seems extraordinary when we have a fundamental lesson to be learned in self-sufficiency as a nation going on around us all the time.
