re: American diet as compared to other countries

They forgot the McDonald'

speaking of which its like night and day in Europe compared to the US.

Its a yes an no. They still eat fresher foods over here but their fattys give ours a run for the money. They are still probably more overall active than americans but are fat by mainland Europe standards.

Idk, the Brits I know eat cheese meet slop for like every damn meal. I lived with a Brit who would go through a TUB of butter in a week! Disgusting.

They also might be more day-to-day active in a sense of walking, but the fitness craze hasn't hit there yet.

Somebody clearly had an agenda on this one.
They put the pizzas in front of the Americans to make them look fat and hide the Canadians pizza. They display the beer in front of Germany but the USA and others have it in the back.
They sort and stack neatly for some countries and not for others. They put all the healthy stuff for Italians in front and the bad stuff in back.

And holy frick that Mexican family really drinks 12 2 liter cokes in a week?!?



Eta: I'd also argue that those frozen pizzas Canada and Germany has are worse for you than the ones the Americans have

I can only speak on Germany but American frozen pizza is much worse for you.

Yea it has. They are probably more geared to the aesthetics though. There is no shortage of gyms over here.

Interesting. I was there 10 years ago, and currently live in Australia with tons of Brits but they're older.

Maybe they're younger culture is better, but their 30-40 year-old culture is fvcking sloppy as frick!

I'm in Italy right now and I have to call BS on that pic. I'm not seeing any pasta, cheese, pizza, or Gelatto. We go out to eat and order one pasta dish each and a bottle of wine and we are full. These people order like 3 courses every meal. Lucky for them they do A LOT of walking and the food is more natural so they are in much better shape than Americans.

i've heard it described as a tale of 2 Fs

they have many fewer FIT people, but have many fewer FAT people

i don't think there has been any scientific evidence that the "shite" in chicken even matters

all of that food mythology is a big example of the liberal anti-science movement

The prepared BS foods is what gets you. No wonder people can't afford their grocery bills. How about cooking and saving an arse load of cash?

How bout some fruits and vegetables not in a can America?

I would have laughed of there were a Chihuahua on the Mexico familia's la mesa.

Putting on the dog again Mom?
