what's funny is we're stopping it's use. very few processors here use chlorine as part of the chilling process. Even then, it's extremely dilute. We now mostly use a diluted peracetic acid (It's vinegar- acetic acid- and hydrogen peroxide.)

edit to clarify: When butchering animals, you want to get the temperature down as quickly as possible after you kill the animal. This keeps the bacteria lower, and reduces the chance of spoilage while increasing it's life. To do that, chicken are chilled in a cold water bath, to which they add the acid (or chlorine.) to reduce it as much as possible, which expends it's shelf life tremendously.

The EU has questions about Chlorine's safety; but more importantly.... they view the use of additives as a way to mask hygiene problems. It's a concern that the poultry is not up to par, and the wash is there to hide the fact or make up for it.

The USA has always handled deals more by bullying than by reciprocation, but Trump has made this worse because at least you'd get a stable arrangement out of it in the past. It's clear to other countries now that if you give him anything he'll just rip up the deal next week and demand more.

The president is a convicted rapist. Any further questions?

This is why Trump is such a shit businessman and failed at EVERY thing he's done. The ONLY reason he became the President is because someone else put him on TV.

Dude doesn't have a clue how to successfully make a deal.

No, he think that if you have power in a relationship, you get to dictate the terms of it. Without realizing the other party can just step away.

Art of the Deal

"You're not holding any cards."

The dealer deals the deal.

And the (white) house (ballroom) always wins.

They need to get out and vote first before they have a chance at doing anything decent.

Start the cabbage clock

They’re already pushing Australia to drop our PBS because their pharmaceutical companies don’t like not being able to rip us off.

Honestly the world might be better off if it goes through a self cleanout.
