There's also the matter of domestic law - as UK law is aligned with EU law American food standards are such (based on "demonstrate the harm" rather than "demonstrate that there is no harm") that if we left the law unchanged all American food arriving at our shores would be ceased and destroyed.
The FTA with the US therefore requires our own laws to be changed to follow those of America- and we don't have a say in that by the way, it's a legal requirement - and we find ourselves trying to ride two horses at once.
Like most superficially simple "lets just do this!" suggestions made in the whole Brexit process I'm afraid that it starts to fall apart when you look at the detail that underpins all "it's simple, we'll just" type ideas.
