  1.  @jimb9063  I don't think standards will drop in Europe, there would be too much resistance to it from the people, food intake is far more of a big deal in Europe then it is in North America, so even thought corporations and some governments might want to lower standards, they will likely have a much bigger fight on their hands from the public if they tried. Even the UK when we left the EU with Brexit, I've not seen any indications of lowering food standards, and if there are any hints of that, it's usually all over the press, which kicks up a fuss with the public. Longer term, you can never be too sure, people need eternal vigilance to keep governments and corporations in check, otherwise they would lower standards if we let them, just like the American people have allowed them to lower standards to almost dangerous levels in the US.

  2. I usually drink enough water that when I go to the toilet, I'm usually peeing water out, in summer I probably drink about 50% more than I do in winter and never had any issues with dehydration, but there might be other factors why Americans drink more, it could be the food they are eating, it could even be the water is different there, could be lifestyle, but I doubt that one as Europeans tend to be more active than Americans, and as for the weather, that really does depend in what region in Europe or America you are in, but we do get a lot of humidity in some parts of Europe that makes it feel much hotter than the temperature would suggest. Anyway, on average, Europeans tend to eat healthier than Americans, a lot of healthy food usually has more water in them, which might suggest needing to drink less water compared to what Americans need.

  3.  @Ikkeligeglad  Probably why Musk is moving his operations out of California and into Texas because of lower standards there, which we in the EU should be grateful that many standards are set to a high level at the EU level whiles allowing members to have higher standards if they want but not lower. In the US, you get a sense that each US state sets its own standard, sounds good on paper but in reality, it allows corporations to play them off each other with the aim of lowering standards and the federal government in the US is kinda useless for setting any standards and because of that, corporations will get pulled towards the states that are more profitable to them, in other words, to hell with standards, workers rights and quality, it's all about the profit, and because the federal government isn't willing to set high standards, it leaves it up to the states to do it, but corporations play them off each other like Musk is doing.

  4. I suspect it's all the sugar in the food and drinks that's the cause, it usually makes you want to drink more. Also, Europeans tend to be more active than Americans and usually eat natural, fresher, healthy food which contains more water in it than junk food
