Marina Schwarz + 1,576 October 9, 2018 Insect-filled chocolates, rat hair noodles, and maggoty orange juice: The reality of a Brexit trade deal with Trump Well, Americans, what have you got to say for yourselves? (It does my heart good to see how difficult it has become to distinguish satire headlines from real ones. It's entertaining, to say the least.) 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John Gammage + 19 October 9, 2018 As a Brit who has adopted the USA as his home none of this surprises me. Many EU regulations drove us bonkers over there with their unrealistically high requirements. Do you believe that the human race got to where it is today without eating some of the above unmentionables? Heck, some are even regarded as delicacies in other parts of the World. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marina Schwarz + 1,576 October 10, 2018 (edited) Since when is Business Insider the new Newsthump? I didn't think it was. And I actually see nothing wrong with having maximum allowable anything. Does anyone kid themselves you can completely prevent insect or rat parts from entering some foods? Please. Also, the whine about meat rotting at British ports after Brexit was decidedly non-satirical. Rodent's right, it's the DRAMA that sells, so let's have it as loud and ridiculous as we can. And the anti-brexiteers considered themselves the voice of reason. Edited October 10, 2018 by Marina Schwarz 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
