Why do meat and dairy products taste better in Canada?

Literally higher standards, as set by the government. I’m Canadian but lived in the US and could hardly stand American food and it’s shite quality. No wonder y’all have a deadly recall every couple weeks.

There are plenty of quality meat and produce in America, but yes our normal stuff is of very poor quality.

I noticed that dairy is expensive in Canada but much better than dairy at home. It must be whatever they feed the cows that makes the difference.

Milk in bags!

R4, my partner says that's only an Ontario thing.

Because of animal cruelty?

Remember Canada is trying to take California’s animal cruelty laws to the Supreme Court in order to avoid the regulations that California imposes to companies that want to sell meat and dairy products in the state.

It is a dangerous proposition to allow a foreign power to strip the sovereignty of state law. It would set a horrible precedent and if you don’t think countries like China and Russia are watching this case and licking their fingers you got another thing coming.

Cows in Canada are primarily grass fed. (I think they are grass fed, then grain finished.) That's why the dairy tastes better too. They also don't get shot up with as many hormones and other shit as American cattle.

Link, R6?

R7 is correct, R6 is either trolling or ignorant or both. In fact, regulations for all food is stricter in Canada. Remember earlier this year when Trump accused Canada of selling animal quality grain for human consumption to the US? Well, he was right but that's because animal quality grain in Canada exceeds American standards for human consumption. As far as dairy goes, it's against the law in Canada to supplement cattle with hormones and certain antibiotics, and the allowed level of mucus in the finished product is lower in Canada than what's allowed in the US.

R4, we had those milk bags back in the nineties in Europe. They never really took off. It's mostly Tetrapak now.

Quebec in particular has taken on California animal protection laws for years, but they have lost every time this goes to the Supreme Court. The last time Canada tried to attack California animal cruelty laws was in 2014, and it cost California $50 million dollars to defend its state law.

Untrue.

R9 , California, one of the largest individual markets in the world, has changed the dairy and meat industry by forcing vendors to comply with its animal cruelty laws since the early 00s. It is a market Canadian vendors cannot fully crack and often have taken the state to the Supre Court. Quebec alone has cost the state upwards of 100mill on legal fees in order to defend California animal cruelty law.

Canada is superior. The End. Fin.

Those millions could have gone to help schools or house the homeless. I thought Canada was supposed to be an ally of the West Coast?

Greed can be an irresistible aphrodisiac dearest R14.

Canadian cows enjoy universal healthcare and legal weed - they don’t suffer from the anxiety that stresses US cows.
