Even the soda pops in Europe are better than in the USA. My friends in Germany say they cannot stand to drink cola beverages in the USA because they can taste the chlorine in the water we use to make the drink. Well, guess what, so can I! It's especially noticeable on your very first soda when you get to Europe, and of course on your very first one when you get back to the USA.
What about the fact that we use High Fructose Corn Syrup instead of Sucrose (table sugar or just sugar) in candies and sodas?
End the embargo on Cuba and stop subsidizing corn and see what happens to our food.
