No thanks to your farmerican ways

So, should we be worried about chlorine-washed chickens coming into our shops from the US after Brexit? Hmm. Let’s think... Are we happy for Walter from Wyoming to keep his chooks knee deep in chicken sh*t because he knows the bacteria will all be sorted later with a dousing of Domestos?

And are we relaxed about our kids eating mash and ice-cream laced with petrol-based additives to make them last longer – the way they are in the States?

Or are we A-okay with our beef and pork being washed in lactic acid – again so poor habits in the way animals are kept are less of a priority?

How about our sausages being pumped full of hormones to make them look a bit more super-sized?

Oh, and let’s not forget that we’d also be eating American cannibal animals which are allowed to feed on other dead creatures. Yum. An American farmer was on the radio today saying: “We’re not asking the Brits to eat anything we wouldn’t eat ourselves.” His line of argument was broadly: “We eat this stuff and we’re all right.”

A claim which can be shot down in just two words: Donald Trump.
