Come to the US to get sick, go to Europe and get well. What’s the difference? Over 1,000 chemicals we allow in our foods that are illegal in Europe.
John Mellencamp Reveals What Happened When His European Friend Ate American Food for the First Time.
Mellencamp’s story echoes what millions of Europeans notice when they eat out, legendary singer and songwriter.
Mellencamp’s story echoed what millions of Europeans notice when they eat our food for the first time — they get sick “just from eating.”
JOHN MELLENCAMP: “I had a friend come here from Europe who had not ever been to the United States and got sick — just from eating.”
The opposite also seems to be true. When Americans travel to Europe for extended periods of time, they somehow end up getting in great shape with ease.
Last year, billionaire entrepreneur Chamath Palihapitiya told Joe Rogan that whenever he travels to Italy, he gets in the “best shape” of his life while doing “less.”
“My muscle mass stays the same. My fat percentage goes down. I look healthier, and I feel really great.
“And all I do is I just eat what’s in front of me,” he said.
This phenomenon of Americans suddenly getting healthier when they leave the country led Rogan and Chamath to conclude “it has to be” the food supply dragging Americans down.
What most people don’t know is that the American food supply has been tainted with over 1,000 toxic ingredients that are banned across Europe.
This is why there are literally 11 ingredients in McDonald’s French fries in the United States when there are only 3 in the UK.”
