There's also plenty of 'fake' food. Cheese in particular really stands out. Personally I wouldn't categorise the vast majority of what is sold there as such as cheese.

The really weird part is they seem much more obsessed with health and fitness than we are.
Herd mentality, advertising, low wagers, little time, etc. You can go into a small store and there probably aren’t more than 5 decent items to eat.

But when it’s all said and done it is possible to eat well, you have to be a little more picky and take a little more time.

Exactly. Yeah, of course it's possible to eat well in the US. But it does take a bit more time and patience. That's why I think it's generally easier to have a healthy diet over here. We often try to blame people for being overweight, but the reality is that it is harder in some societies.

It is mainly poorer people that are obese
Plenty of rich people are fat. Just look at US politics. Like it or not obesity is a huge problem in our country, especially among children. It’s one of those issues that passes socioeconomic barriers mostly due to how much control certain lobbies have over our food industry.

That said all nations have issues.

True but percentage wise, poorer people are at higher risk of obesity

My personal rule, is if I can find anything good to eat then I wait to eat.

My apologies. I didn't know at the time that, being white, I am not your type you want to "colonize"
I am on a campaign to take the word "colonize" back.

As in "I just ate 3 grande chimichangas at that fake Mexican restaurant, and now I want to colonize your carpet. :pado:"

Well, Obviously it's much easier to eat and live healthy when you have more money. You can still eat garbage only if you want though, that's up to you. With poorer people however, cheap (unhealthy) instant food is just too convenient for your unemployed/minimum wage mother of 4, and whilst it might still be possible to eat healthy, it's ultimately a lot harder to pull off.

Yeah. Your rich president isn't fat as fuck. :baus:
Just sit back for a while and close your eyes. Try to think back to when Obama was president. Imagine for a minute that he is still president today.

Then imagine Obama would write a tweet such as this one:


What would your reaction be?

Out of curiosity, do Europeans "lift" generally? All the tourists here always seem so lean and small. If not, I'm sure this factors in as well.
European workouts consist of lifting espresso and glasses of wine/beer to their luscious soft lips while the other hand is lightly benching a cigarette.

Lol, you’re confusing fat with alpha and muscular
