Well, there are innumerable posts on here that pretty much take that approach. Everything American is just backward and horrible compared to such enlightened Europeans. It so bad in America compared to Europe that they will almost -- but not quite -- go back to Europe to live in paradise compared to this swamp.

Not familiar with the other brands. But I legit found chocolate flavored formula in France. Okay? Don’t buy into the hype.
Blah blah blah life expectancy in the US is 5 years lower and declining blah blah blah blah but we are so cool aren't we blah blah blah

But it is also terribly overpriced here in the US. A 10 oz box of Hipp costs about $5 or $6 in my home country. Compare that to US prices. It's seriously appalling.
Divide prices by 4 and you get US dollar amounts. I understand shipping to the US is expensive but still...

The question is whether those EU controls are based in science or pseudoscience.
I don’t believe the GMO woo so US formula is fine for my three headed babies and I can put the money I save in their 529s.

Of course not, it's approved by the EU with tighter controls than the FDA, which is ludicrous.

I thought so. Didn't use much formula, but had cases of Hipp and Alete sent for both my kids. Never fed them any American baby food since the EU has much tighter controls than the US. YMMV, of course.
