    The Lords will vote today on amendments to the new Agriculture Bill to protect food standards and animal welfare in a trade deal post-Brexit. There's been very little coverage of this in the news - not many people know what US level food standards will really mean.

    There are some more links at this Reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/unitedkingdom/comments/hmt77p/_/

    And, for balance, this is how the Government themselves frame it: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/agriculture-bill-to-boost-environment-and-food-production

      We have pink slime here in the US. Please don't vote for our food standards. Trips in/through Europe are a treat because your food is so good.
