I am far from alone - the reaction is more common than you may think and quite serious, you don't want to have it if you're going to have to drive or go to work or anything like that, and for some people it may even be dangerous. It really made me quite ill and I doubt I'm at the extreme end of the range.
It my opinion it should not be sold without clear health warnings on, in the same way as any product containing nuts. Just because most people aren't allergic to nuts that is no reason to justify endangering those who are, and the same is true of modified soil fungus sold as food.

The UK''s main trade issue with the EU has always been the impossible nature of trading services without significant physical presence. I can't shop around the EU for insurance cover or a savings product in the same way as I can buy a German car or French wine. It is not a good deal for the UK and a very good one for the continent.
[W]e have made it very clear to countries that we would like to see a transition of their agreements to a UK agreement at the point that we leave the EU. So far, we have not yet had a country that did not want to do that.

that's just an example of tiny weak countries succeeding in getting lots of deals with major G20 economies (which was your yardstick). repeatedly we are told that "tiny UK can't possibly do the deals that clever, big EU can"
Then I listed 6 other countries with the same or more deals than the EU, in particular South Korea has 7
It's a G20 state (your test criteria), and has 7 FTAs with other G20 states, so tell me again that the EU has an outstanding record in creating FTAs
Set aside the current negotiating difficulties and consider how will things look in 5 years time.
Looking forward I cannot see a valid argument that we would be better off inside the EU and would bet there will be some serious concerns for countries still in.
Nissan are lined up to replace the German supply of cars to the UK market. Any hit to the German economy will destabilise the EU.

But if you move out, you are not expected to continue to pay for upkeep of a flat that you no longer live in.
Sod's law says that I had to marry a vegetarian, who loves the stuff. In an ironic twist, we have to quarantine her food to protect me from it.
Can all you Quorn complainers get a room?
I'm very sorry you have allergy problems but let's not blame it on Michel Barnier or the EU.
Meanwhile we are turning away potential trading partners because we don't have the time or resources to negotiate a trade deal with them!
