EU probably felt they were justified in their meddling. Meanwhile, we have been eating Danish cinnamon pastries for who knows how long, and by some miracle have not died. And if death by pastry were to become an issue, it would be one [we could solve ourselves](https://www.foedevarestyrelsen.dk/english/Pages/default.aspx https://www.foedevarestyrelsen.dk/english/Pages/default.aspx).
