Who’s saying US meat is “sub standard” though?

Different farming methods to the EU doesn’t automatically mean bad.
If anything you’d think chlorine washed chicken would be safer than just water washed chicken?

As for growth hormone,Is there any evidence that it gets passed on to humans through consumption and if so that it’s in any way harmful?

Maybe the US’ farming techniques are actually ahead of the curve?

Maybe all countries will adopt these practices soon enough anyway?

Alot of this stuff to me seems like project fear 3.0 tbh.
