Guys I would like to ask you how do you deal with the shite you are served in USA? I am planning to go on a trip around the USA after uni, but I am litteraly scared to eat anything there that was not grown on a home farm. See here in Europe the european gov. regulates the cleanliness of food, e.g. protocol about cabbage produce has more words than holy bible :D :D

What exactly are you afraid of?

GMO´s, Additives, chemicals that should not be in food, fertilizers used on crops. You can almost call me a food conspiracy guy :D

There are plenty of grocery stores that sell organic produce, as well as health food stores. If you go during summer and fall months, most respectable towns and cities have farmer's markets where a lot of smaller sustainable/non-gmo farmers sell their produce directly.
Are you traveling around and concerned about food? Look into the WWOOF program. I've done volunteering with it before and it's pretty sweet. You work a few hours on an organic farm per day in exchange for food and boarding. It's a very inexpensive way to travel.

Avoid bread in the US. One of the biggest shocks is that Europeans still make their own bread. Even little restaurants and cafe's. In the US most restaurants and cafe's order bread or make it from a pre-mix. Bread here is absolute shit, full of unnecessary added sugars, fillers, HFCS, and a bunch of bullshit.

The negative effects of these things are VASTLY over-exaggerated for profit. Using fear to sell food labeled "organic, natural, GMO free, etc. etc." for twice the price is BIG business in the US.
Just avoid things with lots of added sugar and you'll be fine.

What do you have against GMO's? Generally we rinse our food here.

I worked on an organic farm. The labeling is no joke. It's expensive, requires yearly inspections, and legally you cannot call your food organic or label it as so unless approved by the government. You can get into huge legal trouble if you do.
"Organic" and "Non-GMO" claims HAVE to be tested and verified.
"Natural" is a buzzword. Very very very very little limits are in place for "natural" claims.
