Your links, which I am not going to look it if you keep doing X as source. There is probably a little truth in them but not that Fauci shit. I have no idea how much they get in Federal funding to torture and experiment on animals but it wont be trillions. Private companies will spend as much if not more and that is from the premiums etc they bleed from the american tax payer and why USA 1 asprin costs $100 and Insulin a couple of million - that shit is free here, and all over Europe or it wont cost you more than £100 a year for as many pills as the doctors prescribe you.
Not concerned then about American farming practices and welfare of those animals then? Where you pack a million chickens into a very small chicken squalor house. Cattle and so on. Then you pump them full of their own shit, antibiotic's, experimental growth serum then bathe them in chlorine? Does that work for the bird flu, Mad Cow etc?
Few people are aware of this hereYes, bagged salads and ready-to-eat salads in the UK are often washed with chlorine-containing water. This is a common practice to help ensure food safety and hygiene, especially for pre-packaged salads. The chlorine-treated water is used as a rinsing aid during the washing process.
When discussing future UK trade deals, it's not long before someone raises the issue of chlorine-washed chicken. We eat salad washed in chlorine, and our drinking water is chlorine-treated, so why are we averse to chlorine-washed chicken?
The practice of washing chicken carcasses in a chlorine solution has been banned in the UK and EU since 1997, but it's still permitted in the US.
Here we explain the difference between our salad being washed in chlorine and our chicken being treated the same way.

Salad leaves can pick up bacteria such as salmonella, norovirus and E coli from soil.
In bagged salads labelled as pre-washed or ready to eat, the leaves have to be treated to remove the bacteria and ensure they're safe to eat.
The leaves can't be heated or frozen as this would ruin them, which is why they're washed.
Sometimes they're washed with water, or water containing fruit acid, but often they're washed with a chlorine solution.
The chlorine levels in the solution are carefully monitored, and the leaves are subsequently rinsed with water.
The Committee on Toxicity, a government department, carried out tests of chlorine-washed bagged salads and detected chlorine levels that were lower than those found in drinking water.
However, if you prefer, you can always re-wash the leaves at home. Unlike the USA our tap water isnt toxic sludge. But everyone here will wash even lose carrots etc under tap water before they chop use them and i take it the American's do the same or is it bottled water because your tap water isnt very good in many areas?
The purpose of chlorine-washing chicken at the end of the production line is to kill bacteria such as campylobacter, salmonella and E coli, which can cause food poisoning.
To minimise bacterial contamination and the risk of food poisoning, farmers in the UK and EU legally have to follow high welfare and production standards throughout the system, as opposed to relying on a single decontamination stage.
This is known as a farm-to-fork approach and includes minimum allowances for space, light and ventilation in chicken housing, giving birds space to move and behave normally.
Chicken houses must also be cleaned thoroughly and the litter replaced between flocks.
But in the US, similar laws or regulations don't exist.
Chickens can be reared in cramped housing, with little light and ventilation. Chicken houses don't have to be cleaned between flocks, and might only be cleaned and litter replaced once or twice a year.
These conditions increase the risk of disease and bacterial cross-contamination.
Yet despite chlorine-washing, US chicken doesn't contain lower levels of bacteria than UK chicken.
Research by the US consumer organisation Consumer Reports in 2014 showed that 97% of 300 chicken breasts tested contained harmful bacteria, including campylobacter, salmonella, E coli and enterococcus.
Our concerns about chlorine-washed chicken are less around the actual use of chlorine, but more that these washes are used to clean up poor welfare and hygiene practices throughout the system.
Which? research shows 95% of people think it's important that the UK maintains existing food standards in future trade deals.
And 74% object to importing food produced using lower standards, such as chlorine-washed chicken, hormone-treated beef or food produced with banned pesticides.
Proponents of chlorine-washed chicken argue that it should be up to individuals to choose whether they want to eat it or not.
However, under current rules it doesn't have to be labelled or declared on packaging, so consumers won't know if they're eating it.
This is because chlorine washes are classed as processing aids, not ingredients.
Even if current laws are changed so that chlorine-washed chicken has to be labelled, this won't capture food in the catering sector.
Don't the American's eat dogs or beagles, or did trump and his loons make that shit up?
American farming is done on a squalid industrial scale for a couple of cents in extra profit. Not all farms do this, but even those ones few have documentation or traceability. oh Trump Project 2025 Dodges sacked most of those inspectors and checkers and regs too, that is to benefit the companies who run animals farms and pet cemeteries for the american consumer so they can make a few more cents per 1000
