Raggytash.
Ok. America has problems.
I'm sure you remember fairly recent cases of UK supermarket suppliers re-labelling food which was past its sell by dates and reintroducing it into stock.
Also the scandal of beef sourced from elsewhere in the EU which included a proportion of horse meat.
I'm not claiming the Americans are blameless, but if you look closer to home you'll find problems as well.
The problem of one country being able to easily offload dodgy goods onto another country is made easier by a 'common market'. Even so I didn't object to us joining a 'common market', but I never wanted that to be the means of moving toward a super-state.
