@Mastokarl @johnnyryan Yes, UK is worse. In UK you'll never avoid US products no matter how hard you try.
There's an excellent [and mind blowing] book on the scale of US takeover of all aspects of UK society, including everything you can buy in Britain, all our public services, etc. It also compares US takeover of UK with Germany and EU countries. "Vassal State: How America Runs Britain by Angus Hanton"
