i’d argue not inherently the thing, but this is more a big vs small business argument
all “american pizza” in canada would be a big chain, which tend to cost cut every tiny bit which leads more salt, fat, and sugar to balance out cheap, bland ingredients
when you buy canadian pizza, it’s more likely to be from a small business, or at least idk from the outside canada seems to be less of a profit-driven hedge-fund hellscape
this is the way it is in australia: we have some US brands that are absolute garbage tier, and our local brands tend to focus on quality, ingredients, “gourmet” etc
Yes well most of those fears were based in a distinct lack of application of the precautionary principle in the way the industry was being run and regulated, as well as misdirection when representing the methods being used. So there was no way for citizens to know whether things were safe or not, other than an appeal to authority, but driven by shareholder interests.
So I don’t blame people for worrying, though I was always more concerned about the biopiracy and other corporate shenanigans.
And we’ll all live longer and healthier lives for it.
You think so? What’s the difference between a Canadian or American pizza?

Non GMO ingredients
Nothing is really inherently wrong with GMO last I checked, has any new science come out showing there is?
Mostly just the impact of intellectual property abuse on your food sovereignty, not so much any direct effect on your biochemistry.
Ah right, there’s that. Though the question was about physical health I thought.
