Didn't the US government just vote yes to allow more additives regardless of status?
FDA Allows additives until proven bad,
EU bans additives until proven good. Big difference. Why do Americans accept being guineapigs for Big Food?

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Does "being devoted" mean being blind if the object of your devotion does really, really bad things? And jumping all over people who DO see those things and happen to point them out?

Obviously. In the US you live to work and the person with the most things and money when they die wins. In Europe and most parts of the world you work to live and prioritize time with family and friends. It helps that we have laws here about work hours, mandated paid vacation/parental leave etc

They need a few poor states where they can have their voter base and some successful states they can point to and claim that they're bad for "everyday" people. That way they can keep the pretend differences between people without dealing with the real ones
