They can send as many chlorinated chickens here as they like, it won't bother me I don't eat chicken
I am sure leaving the EU will not rob us all of our powers of reasoning and ability to make choices.
We set many of the standards that were adopted by the EU, I have no reason to believe our standards will fall when we leave.

The USA are insistent upon agricultural products being part of the deal.
We will not be forced to eat their stuff at gunpoint, but it will be in the food chain here, in meals out, processed foods, ready meals etc.

More people should do the same, if fewer ate processed rubbish and ready meals we wouldn't have an obesity problem.

Leaving the EU means being less fussy on trade deals so standards are bound to slip. It takes years to negotiate good deals. We don't have that luxury.

Your constant threats and warnings don't affect me in the slightest, nor anyone else with their head screwed on.

If more people got off their mobile phones and TVs and learnt to shop and cook properly the population would be a lot healthier.

Maybe along with decent food, we can ditch all the inferior electrical items imposed by the Eurotwats.
