I saw a TikTok video comparing the ingredient labels on major packaged foods from the 90s that are still around now (Doritos, Cheetos, rice crispy treats, etc.) and there really are way more strange chemicals and additives now. Even in the 90s, the food labels were mostly normal common ingredients and didn't have 20+ total ingredients... It's funny/sad/surreal how little our government does to protect its citizens health. I also saw another video where someone was talking about how pasta water made from US manufactured pasta had a high concentration of pesticides. I definitely prefer to buy DOP goods over anything in the US because I trust the EU way more than US regulators on food safety.
