Are you kidding me? I am not a sick person, but I get inflammation if I don't watch what I put in my mouth.
Few of those Doritos chips and my poop smells like motor oil the next morning. Try it.
My stomach is also in knots with almost any carbs and sugar. Not the case at all in EU.
If I don't go mostly organic or vegetarian now, I will have some serious health problems as I get older.

I bought eggs recently in that country I work in, won't say where as not to be recognized, and the yolk was so orange it was almost red. That is because they were not fed corn. They probably ate bugs and veggies. It is a completely different taste. These eggs are not from a highly developed country.

Look up how McDonalds sprays their potatoes crops.

Unlikely op, unlikely. Food is huge business and there is so much crap put in our food. Just look up McDonald's fries.
Organic is a myth, and a scam for us to pay more for the same exact food. We are also eating veggies that are tasteless as in order for them to have a long shelf life, they have bred out the taste in favor of shelf life.
This happens everywhere.
Mom's or whole foods is a scam too, you know our soil is all the same, right? You know your pasture raised meat might be from several different countries and different animals mixed together.
Now could legislation forbid use of harmful chemicals in our food? Yes, they could, that part could be solved, but it will not be solved.
I work overseas, and, as an example, Coke Zero here tastes horrific, over there it tastes great. There is some weird after taste here.
Here Coca Cola has more ingredients then in the country I work in.

The best you can do, is to cook the food yourself, buy meat, potatoes and don't buy into the organic myth. Potatoes from one field, next to the other field are all the same, organic uses other chemicals that are not any better than non organic ones. What goes into the ground comes down into the ground, that is so basic. The very conception of organic produce was a scam in the late 1990s.
Do you know what organic plums are? They are the same plums as non organic, they are all sprayed with the same chemicals, only the organic ones are not sprayed for 5 days before being picked (shook off the tree). That is the only difference because all the chemicals are considered washed by then. This is not something I invented, this is the German standard for organic produce. My cousin's friend has a plum orchard in Europe and sells all of them to German company. They have drones above to insure he does not spray them prior to harvest.
Only suckers shop at Whole foods, only suckers do not understand that most avocado oil, is not avocado oil at all.
Should we have to look at the labels and be detectives when grocery shopping? No, we should not, but business runs the country and addictive ingredients are good business.

Meat quality is abysmal. Chemicals and harmful additives are everywhere.

Does anyone else feel like our food is poisoning us?

Stop eating meat, grow your own vegetables, raise chickens

You're buying at the wrong places then. We buy from farmer's markets, where you see the same farmer every week. It costs a lot though.

For example for our turkey at Thanksgiving, it came from a farmer outside of Baltimore. You could pick up at the market or directly from his farm.
