Lower quality of same food brands in Eastern Europe

Eastern europeans produce less economically so they deserve less. Fuck the equality shit.

Anybody has an opinion about that?

This is known since always.
We have a shop in my city with the same products you see in an avarage shop, but from Germany.
My mom always bought from this shop. For example, the washing pouder have a better quality.

i said it before sometimes prices are even higher in CzechR than in Germany.

The transport cost, and Germany is a bigger and richer market. When you have more people buying your food and more frequently, you can make lower prices.
When you buy can of Cola is mor expensive than buying a box of Cola. That's how capitalism works

Sarcasm or trolling?

When I was in Hungary, they told me exactly this. So I'm pretty sure it's true.

I don't know if food in our supermarkets is of worse quality than in Czech Rep. (I know that Czechs like to accuse us of exporting garbage food to their country, but I don't know how true it is), but it's true that some of Western products - like Jacobs coffee - are made of different ingredients depending to which country they go. Jacobs made for German market is better than Jacobs made for Polish market.

This is sick.

because that coffee was made in the Czech Republic, same with washing powders, if I remember Ariel for example

You are partially right - but I don't have sympathies for that flagellant approach. You can't know what would WEs allowed on this field because they never were in this situation. Remember their countries are full of immigrants and they allow it...

I dont know how the situation in Bulgaria is, I can speak only for my country. It is not true people are not angry about eg this food situation. We've known about it for several years and I can see that people's preferences are changing day by day. Czech people definitely prefer Czech products (many non-Czech food companies try to deceive consumers that their goods are of Czech origin). Many local food markets are founded. I guess it has a lot to do with the fact a new generation (people who werent raised during communism) have grown.

I am an optimists in that. Post-communist countries need time, that's right, but it already took 30 years. I guess most EE countries are stronger and more self-confident now.

You are too western for the slavic standards.

And I'm rather pessimistic in general. 30 years more wouldn't be enough if you ask me. But anyway, I don't eat any kind of preprocessed food anymore. I've been running on rice, vegetables and a bit of meat for an year now and it feels great.

Come on that argument is ridiculous. Any consumer wants food of lower quality. Btw. it is not only food this also applies to drugstore goods.
And of course people have choice not to buy it but here goes about the principle - it seems that people at least from Czech republic/Slovakia/Hungary (these three countries are usually taken as one market for international companies) are taken as lower people. An Austrian kid gets better quality Milka chocolate than a Hungarian kid. It's insulting and humiliating.

That's the EU. It's an economic union that facilitates the Germans, Dutch etc sell their crap.
Here, for example one 'reform' they wanted to pass a few years ago was about changing the definition of 'fresh milk'. Just to facilitate Dutch exports.

Apparently someone repayed tit for tat and exported lower quality of same cows to Western Europe (?):
