as long as you test properly

I suspect you need some perspective on this because you're mistakenly assuming it's something like the UK government which has at least been forced into concessions by communists and the european labour movements led by communists of the past.

1 in 6 americans, 16.67%, get food poisoning per year.

1 in 28, 3.6%, get food poisoning per year in the UK

America is not fucking testing anything mate. Their food hygiene is absolutely atrocious and they're making it even worse. Your mistake here is thinking that the american state functions to do literally anything positive for the people, it does not. It functions to maximise profit for the financial class and minimise resistance by use of culture war, brutal violence and incarceration.

Wait food poisoning isn't a regular thing in other countries???

It is not. I can't say exactly why that is (probably several reasons), but the US has significantly higher rates of food poisoning compared to other western countries.

This is not a defence of other western countries obviously, merely highlighting that the US is in a league of its own when it comes to being uniquely awful at anything involving regulation.

I am nearly 50 and have never met or heard of anyone getting food poisoning except in American media.
