>Europe takes a “precautionary principle” approach towards food additives that are potentially risky. They ban or add warning labels to these additives for their citizens. The U.S. takes the opposite approach. It does not remove additives from our food supply until they have been proven dangerous – which can take a very long time and a lot of red tape.

>European Union officials, European ministers and Commissioner (Tonio) Borg set up an urgent meeting in Brussels on 13 February 2013 on how to contain the horse meat scandal that exposed flaws in European control systems on food safety, and to formulate an action plan.[98] Following the meeting, EU agriculture ministers announced a three-month programme of DNA testing of processed meat across the European Union.[99] The plan calls for 2,500 random tests on processed food for horse DNA and 4,000 for phenylbutazone (bute), beginning in March 2013, with initial results announced on 15 April 2013. It is unclear why the testing could not start immediately as most of the evidence is still present

>Is it really that hard for the amerimutt nigger-brain to imagine real ingredients in food?
It's a toss-up, honestly. A lot of Americans are stupid enough to think that the government is looking out for their best interests and wouldn't allow anything unhealthy to be sold in stores in the first place, despite the obvious evidence to the contrary. The rest of us range from people who just don't buy into the bullshit and home-cook anything would be significantly healthier to the far extreme of raw kale-eating vegan hippies.

It's also worth noting that unlike a lot of places where you may have multi-generational mortgage-free homes, most Americans are culturally obligated to live alone and outside of their means, and can't afford the time or the money to prepare good food.

>Smoked, cured horse meat is widely available as acold cutunder the namehamburgerkött(literallyhamburgermeat). It tends to be very thinly sliced and fairly salty, slightly reminiscent of deli-style ham and, as a packaged meat, may list horsemeat (ashästkött) as its primary ingredient.[101]Several varieties of smoked sausage made from horse meat, includingGustafskorv, are also quite popular, especially in the province ofDalarna, where they are produced.[102]Gustafskorv, similar to salami ormetworst, may substitiute for those meats in sandwiches.

>I wouldn't doubt they have a social media team.
Yeah, but you actually need to measure what you're doing and report on results. I've never worked in marketing but I've seen the social media teams you're probably thinking of (every business large enough to have one does) and none of them would include 4chan in what they cover.
Most of what they do is going on sites where people complain like Yelp and make shitty attempts to calm those people down. Or you have the twitter / facebook stuff like with the Wendy's social media team where they try to cultivate a cool and funny image.
4chan wouldn't make any sense because it's pro-anonymous by design with constantly disappearing content, and even if all those things didn't apply you still wouldn't want to show up at the big meeting with your company's VPs to present a powerpoint on all the 4chan posts you've been making. What happens when the people in your meeting pull up 4chan and see that autist from last night's threads at the top of the catalog feature a smiley face emoji with a cock and testicles above an enormously wide open asshole dumping green shit everywhere? What happens when they see all the posts of people calling each other nigger and faggot and posting gore and gay porn in the timeframes before someone deletes them?
>>12480938
>You will see the exact verbatim arguments and ad hominem arguments in a lot of the threads
The same anons post the same things multiple times in multiple places. That's autism, not social media marketing. You also have slightly less autistic anons who start posting repetitively because they know people like you will read into it as a marketing campaign and get upset over it, like with all the Jollibee threads.
