Europe doesn't want American slop because the US' rate of food poisoning is obscenely higher than it is in Europe. 14.6% of USians get food poisoning per year while in the UK it's 1.4% and in the rest of Europe it's comparable.

Keep that shit as far away from me as possible please and thank you.

It's a really illuminating statistic. Some of it is education, which is better here too, but a lot is regulations.

Jesus, who's bringing the numbers so far up? I should have had food poisoning, well, a lot more than the one time I've had it. Is there a group of people who leave egg salad on the counter overnight despite multiple bad reactions to that?

Or wait, do all those pukey days as a kid count even if they were never officially diagnosed?

They use models for estimates that include those yes. The CDC does it in the US, whereas the UK uses something called the FDEM model. They're comparable though.

My coworker got food poisoning at work the other day. Was puking everywhere, spat out his dentures, covered in sweat. Wild stuff.

I want the food to kill me. Drown me in the slop.
