โ€œThey are using fake science and unsubstantiated claims to not take our products,โ€ Rollins said, adding that itโ€™s not just about high tariffs, but also how American food products are treated overseas.

โ€œOh sorry, we canโ€™t take your beef since 2002 because you use a certain type of feed. Thatโ€™s just absolute bull.โ€

Oh, boo hoo. Maybe try having better standards and regulations, you fucking cultist. You could entice potential buyers with products they want instead of acting like they owe you their trade.

For clarity, I am American.

Its not the EU's job to buy your products. The reason doesn't matter. If they don't want your shit they won't buy your shit.

Be better. Make a product people want at a price they're willing to pay. Stop whining.

Also maybe don't alienate the entire world then get mad that nobody will talk to you on the playground.

You rolled in this shit. Now you can either clean it up or accept the consequences.

Yup, sell what your customer wants, study the market, and make the product they want.

it does not have to do with science. It could be due to religion they don't want your products like beef or pork or non halal stuff.

So we had fake news, now we get fake science. What's next, fake arguments?

We produce the safest, the most secure, the best food in the world,โ€ she said.

Ha...hahha...hahahahahahahahhaha. I needed a good chuckle.

But seriously, I've been inside the manufacturing plants in the US. I can promise you this is a false statement. And that was before the FDA and USDA were gutted!

In the end the EU can do what they like for any reason or no reason

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Yeah, like why would the EU feel the need to invent some reason for not buying US products, other than the legit reason, the tariffs?

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Good luck Rollin's, if the shit food enters the EU, it will rot on the shelves. Nobody in Europe wants to eat GMO BS.
