Honestly I think most American food is horrendous.

Don't get me wrong, I like stuff like burgers or ribs or steaks as much as anyone. And I think a lot of American beers are just fine if you want something cool during the summer. But overall the quality is really lacking. And I think it has a lot to do with the way food is produced and the ingredients American chefs are provided with. We drink way too much coke as well, but at least there's actual sugar in the coke we drink. We overproduce meat and we overproduce cheese, but at least we eat actual meat and actual cheese.

That's not really true. That would be smearing your opponent, which isn't nice, but it isn't meddling. Trying to stop votes from being counted is nothing short of dictatorial though and tells you all you need to know about Trump.
american beers shit all over the rest of the world. We have too many breweries now.

and for food, if you’re in a large city, you’ll find very good selection. In the burbs or rural areas is where there it becomes more difficult to find the good shit

Just like the same foundation was laid with Russiagate and Trump is a white supremacist every day since the previous election. That is election meddling in my book as well.
The Mueller report was diff than the Barr "report."

It wasn't about whether Trump is white supremacist but him failing to disavow them (easiest task) but instead emboldening them and seeking their support.

It's because many are conditioned to eat garbage processed foods and don't want to pay extra for organic, non-GMO, even locally sourced produce and protein. Instead of going to a farmer's market, some would rather go to Costco. Hence why everyone is fat. This, along with the stranglehold big pharma has over the populace, are why we're just a sick nation. But notice how none of these things are discussed in any debate. Obesity and legal drug use are much larger issues than other matters, yet it's never discussed.

But he has in the past. I don't know how many times he needs to do it. He should just hold a press conference every day saying he condemns the KKK at this point.

And majority think the more salt and sugar, the better something tastes.

True in the UK too. Assuming not true in general in Europe.

This is like saying bc you stopped yourself from running over someone on purpose in the past, it's OK to run over people on purpose now repeatedly.

Yeah, I agree. Well, it's discussed, but way too little. They are both problems that can be tackled (a lot of countries are far better off in this regard) and very little is offered in terms of how candidates, and their parties, want to resolve these issues.

Dude, no. Just no. I'm sure there are a few beers in America that are great, but it's hundreds of years of tradition in Belgium and you just don't get the same result by copy pasting something.

Always wanted to visit there because it seems "cool." How do Georgians feel about American visitors?
I've never felt so welcomed as in Georgia, and I've traveled quite a lot. Granted, Ukrainians and Georgians share a similar story, but the love guests, even LOVE guests. But prepare for some weeks-long drinking and eating marathons.

It's because both parties bought and paid for. Simple as that.

That sounds great to me. Been wanting to go there ever since Anthony Bourdain did a show in Tbilisi. RIP.

Belgium makes amazing beer but it’s not nearly as diverse or tasty as American craft beers

I also notice how "average" restaurants in Europe are generally much better than "average" restaurants in the US. When you walk around Paris or Barcelona, walk into random places, you'll generally be at least satisfied with your plate. You can't really do that here unless you're in certain cities or areas, but I'm a food snob according to other Americans.
nah, mid level restaurants here are just not the same as in other places. The difference can be huge at times, with exception of course

yeah but the US has so many more breweries, the sheer volume results in more variety and therefore better beer
And less history.

In the end it comes down to taste, but it's no coincidence that the biggest beer company in the world is Belgian-American and based in Belgium.
