So why aren't the Americans showing us how clean their farms are, instead of going on about this vinegar strawman?

How is it a strawman? Chemical washing is a sensible thing to do.

You know I live in the mid-west and I have seen some iffy chicken farms and some really clean ones. I have also been to Europe (mainland, Britain, and Ireland) and have seen the same. The thing is you simply can not inspect everything all the time and guarantee the entire supply chain will be free from issues...but you can put mitigations in place that can help.

Because the media who shows people things gains far more from manufacturing crisis and various trade wars then telling the other side of the story.
