This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Is it the no colors or preservatives bit?
I kinda wonder if it's the only one omitted because the non-english places also wouldn't have foods that use artificial colors or preservatives.
At least in germany its prohibited to use them for specific foods. And its not allowed to advertise with things that are required by law. So advertising 'no colors and preservatives' wouldn't be allowed for some products.
You are correct. Not sure about the reasoning though.
Now googling if english speakers perceive colors and use preservatives differently.
This is true. Once I moved to the francosphere, I could only perceive colours and preservatives that are present, so there is no reason to tell me about colours and preservatives that are not present.
It's takes 4-6 months to adjust.
Thank you. As soon as I went to Google I got distracted and ended up wasting my time on something else. Following internetiquette I'll regard what you wrote as universal fact and won't look back on the matter.
