Canadian A&W.

They "separated" in 1972, and the difference between Canadian and American restaurants is night and day.

Eating almost ANY fast food in Canada for the first time is definitely an eye-opener as an American.

[u/Krelkal → u/RadasNoir]

Canada has stricter regulations on certain staples like beef, poultry, grains, and dairy. The minimum quality ends up being higher than the US (and fast food places always go for the minimum) but it's also more expensive.

One of the tensions in the trade war is that the US wants Canada to loosen our food standards to allow cheap American products to flood the market.

Fuck the big corporations and the USA man.

Canadas meat production uses the same kind of factory farming as the US does. With concentrated feedlots and battery cages. These farms are owned by large corporations, and small scale farming has significantly declined over the decades.

Yeah that's not what they're saying.

They're saying the beef needs to be of higher quality, not that the farms need to be organic and free-range.

[u/crek42 → u/alexthedungeonmaster]

What is “higher quality”? The US has multiple gradings of quality — inspected by the federal government.

And yes I absolutely think factory farmed meat is inherently shit quality. Anyone would agree with that.

[u/alexthedungeonmaster → u/crek42]

That meat grading system is used the world over, and some factory farmed meat is of high-grade, that's the whole point.

So not everyone would agree with you because that would mean at least the grader does not.
