The Industrial Revolution was a British phenomenon.
Random list of countries that have invented the most in history
quote:
1. England
To the surprise of no one, the UK has been unanimously voted by the holy voices of the internet the number one among the countries that have invented the most things in all human history- which tells me one thing: the internet doesn’t know what a country is. Also, it’s cheating, unnecessarily too. Even though the whole of Great Britain –also not a country- has fathomed over 50% of the world’s inventions throughout history, England on its own as a country is still the undoubted champion.
You and I could probably spend days googling England’s greatest inventions, and still have a way to go, so I’ll just round up a few of the most interesting here:
Reflecting telescope, seed drill, marine chronometer, spinning frame, toothbrush, soda water, hydraulic press, steam engine, glider, tension-spoked wheel, tin can, modern fire extinguisher, electric motor, waterproof material, passenger railway, lawnmower, photography, electric telegraph, chocolate bar, hypodermic syringe, synthetic dye, Bessemer process, linoleum, sewage system, modern torpedo, telephone, light bulb, steam turbine, safety bicycle, pneumatic tire, thermos flask, electric vacuum cleaner, disc brakes, stainless steel, military tank, television, cats eye, jet engine, electronic programmable computer, hovercraft, automatic kettle, float glass, hip replacement, carbon fiber, collapsible baby buggy, ATM, World Wide Web (not to be confused with the internet), wind-up radio, steri-spray.
Last but not least, like I mentioned earlier England also invented the United States of America, but when it comes to clowns I think they did way-a better job with Monty Python!

Many additives and preservatives used in the US are banned in Europe.
Like which ones? I hear this shite all the time and the majority of it is false. UK uses different names for the same ingredients like HFCS in the US is called Glucose/Fructose syrup in EU

Food in the US is made to be survive on a truck and on shelf.
So Europe's grocery stores have unprocessed food all over the shelves?

Whatever bread you are buying - if it is sliced bread - by necessity is filled with preservatives and additives to keep it from spoiling immediately.
Again that's just the bread you buy. You are buying the wrong bread. There are plenty of alternatives in the US. You said alot without saying anything. Great post

Corn gets a bad rap
As it should... Even though all sugar is bad for you and most people would benefit by limiting it's intake .. But ,if you're gonna eat it why chose to eat the super processed version...

If everyone made healthy decisions then we wouldn't be having this discussion in the first place
Right and im not arguing that and that's not the point. The point is both countries have shite food and good food. The consumer makes that choice.
There are many things that are banned in the US that are not in EU.
There are actually more banned food dyes in the US then in EU. Partially
hydrogenated oils are FULLY banned in the US but not EU.

Potassium Bromate is the US is limited to 75mg per kg of flour during baking it's broken down to Bromide which is a harmless form of the oxidizer. Bromate can still remain but is reduced to 20 ppb which is 1000 times lower than the amount that has been shown in studies to harm rodents. Dose means something

The problem I have here is that we’re using a very unreliable and tyrannically apt government to correct human behavior rather than appealing to people themselves to make better choices for themselves
Of course this is correct.
Every time we expect the government to fix a problem it has no business at all being involved in it becomes a Faustian Bargain and what we get is nowhere near what we give up.

Health insurance should be a hedge against your own health.
What we have now isn't really health insurance. It's a health care co-op.
Actual insurance protects against rare events that are very unlikely to happen to the vast majority of policy holders. All but a very few people pay in significantly more than they'll ever get back out in coverage in that model.
A diabetic, for example, will need care and medication for the rest of his/her life. Guaranteed.
It's like forcing an auto insurance company to give coverage to a stunt driver who is contractually obligated to wreck his car once a year every year.
It's actually pretty insane.
A big part of the problem for me is that I resent people acting like health care is a right and that the country has an obligation to see to it that everyone gets it.

Unbleached flour is pretty much available at every grocery store unless you go to some ghetto Sav-a-lot. King Arthur unbleached all purpose flour is $5/bag at Walmart...
