Neatly illustrates the problem with #r4today - it's not an isolated incident, but a daily occurrence. Somebody will come on (usually pro-Brexit) and lie, lie, lie, until the airwaves crackle. But are they held to account? Are they ever! Facts, unlike opinions, don't have 2 sides.
The height of Nelson's column doesn't change based on your political leanings, neither does the chemical composition of water. The reality around us is filled with things that should be beyond doubt. And decades of stats tell us that US food is less safe - period, end of story.
Thing is, what the politicians don't say (because it's so politically toxic) is that it's the poorest who will suffer most. So long as food *labelling* laws are strong, those with means will be able to avoid US products. Those who can't will be forced to face the consequences.
