Don’t forget in USA when you eat in a restaurant you would be expected to pay a 20-30% tip. The waiters in UK get a living wage.

UK has universal health care so it's in their best interest to keep people healthy. USA health care is a business and it's in their best interest to keep people unhealthy as bad health is good business.

IIRC that horse meat scandal was imported meat, even the companies importing it, bought it in good faith that it was beef.

Greggs does baked goods. Wetherspoons is a pub chain.

Horsemeat is unusual in the UK but more common in France.

11:00 It’s pretty easy to see why food is more expensive at restaurants in the UK. They have to pay their employees a fair wage that allows them to live like human beings. In the U.S., customers have to pay for employees’ wages by tipping.

So the US wins on portion sizes - what a joke! 'Not only do we try to poison you but we give you more of that crap for your money'. I'd say that's a bit like Donny Dipshit saying 'we beat Iran bigly'. 🤣🤣🤣

The restaurant prices - FFS! You pay $3 per hour -

@plisskensghost2951 3 days ago

We don't have the crazy tipping culture you guys have in the US, most waiters/waitresses get paid a decent living wage here so we don't have to give a substantial tip to make up for the poor wages.

So the higher prices in the restaurants are reflected in the higher wages.

14:39 it was horse DNA. They didn’t make burgers from horse and say it was beef. This DNA was there because they used some of the same equipment to produce beef products for the uk and horse products for France. The French eat horse.

If America is the greatest country in the world then why do 1 in 8 Americans rely on food stamps?

Greggs is a Bakery.
There are more Greggs Bakeries in the UK than McDonalds.

@Jeni10 3 days ago

Gregg’s is a British bakery with many branches, but it’s not a fast food chain. They sell bread, cakes, pies and other baked goods, just like a normal bakery.

@lesleycartledge422 2 days ago

Greggs is a sandwiches and cakes shop.

They're a bit harsh on the variety section for the UK, as we have a lot more independent take-away's etc here per square mile than the USA would.

What you also remember is that the same companies who make things for other countries as well there are two different recipes. Tango is a prime example European Tango contains orange juice, but the USA version states on the bottle does not contain orange juice also the sugar content is nearly double for the USA version.

11:17 restaurants have to pay the staff a living wage so they dont have to rely on tips and if they get a tip its a bonus for good service and generally 10%

@jamesrowe3606 3 days ago (edited)

Bias would be redundant. The facts are enough. The main fact is that in Europe, an ingredient isn't allowed unless it's proven to be safe. In the USA everything is allowed unless it's proven to be unsafe. To put that simply, Europe puts people before profit and the USA puts profit before people. If course that's what you get with a largely unregulated capitalist economy and the issues with that go so much deeper than food quality.
