Very EU of them. Have they regulated the maximum curvature of bananas as well?

What is - regulating minimum criteria of school lunches, or doing it bass-ackward by counting pizza as a vegetable?

No, we rely on the American consumer's use of the capitalistic system for that.

Both, but mainly the latter.

So, 1 plus and 1 minus. Hey, does you poking fun at the EU somehow count as an unspoken admission that the Irish were right?

Minus two really - it's not much minimum standards for school lunches and minimum standard for pretty much anything they can think of. Like bendy bananas

When? If you're talking about the multiple occasions when they told the EU to fuck off (only to be told they got the answer wrong and to vote again), I object to the term "unspoken".

Well I don't know what the EU considers to be standards for school lunches, and I'd appreciate it if you failed to educate me. However, the fact of having such standards of itself is a good thing... at least in the U.S., when it is a standard imposed by a national government within its own nation (unlike, obviously, a standard imposed by a supposed economic partnership with delusions of hegemonic grandeur.)

Fair enough.

...and, to be fair to our mates from across the pond: I don't quite understand the vitriol for Manchester and I don't know what "Moss Side" is, but it still seemed humorous.

I have no clue what I am looking at. It looks like english but yet...

Yes, yes it is.
