yes, EU trade rules have totally distorted the market in favor of high value durable export goods, like cheese and canned goods... i mean, idk what to say, half the catfood is actually gravy slathered over TVP, and the cats hate it, of course, because it's not fucking meat... UHT milk everywhere, half the shops don't even stock fresh pasteurised milk

it's one of the things that makes me want to go to the high country east of the rockies in a bad way
