Food prices vary significantly between countries due to various factors. A Romanian woman in the US highlighted the price differences, noting that a liter of milk costs much less in the US compared to Romania. She shared her shopping experience in North Carolina, where she found milk, eggs, flour, and meat at lower prices than in Romania. However, a 2% tax is added at checkout. The differences in pricing stem from the US's industrialized food system, which focuses on volume and cost reduction, while the EU emphasizes sustainability and strict quality standards. Additionally, US food often comes in larger packages, reducing costs, whereas EU products are typically smaller and fresher, leading to higher logistics costs.
