It is so much easier to criticize than to open your eyes. American's are obese on purpose. Bologna is cheap and not food, Velveeta cheese is cheap and not food, pasta is cheap and is empty carbs, Twinkies, little debbies, cakes, pies are all cheap and can fill your hunger when you can't afford anything else. Cereal is sugar and addictive to the little ones. Frozen dinners save time but are high in calories, fat, salt and chemicals and very low on nutrition. You see, your body craves nutrition, if it does not get it, you want to eat, eat, eat. It is always a Rich Man's trick.
It is all an elaborate plan for profits by food manufacturers and pharmas. It began in the hood and is now spreading all over the nation. Processed foods are killing people. Drugs treat the symptoms and do not cure or prevent disease.
Do you have any idea how much of the food you eat every day is processed? for real? Do you know how much food you consume is created in a lab? You see, what was once convenience food (which was decent) has been slowly modified into chemicals to trick your taste buds. They have been modified with added lab generated sugar to addict you to the product. Yes addiction. You can do your own research to find out how sick you are going to become if you allow this slight of hand to trick you into eating their products.
Most of America's products are banned in Europe..... for a reason. One of the worst foods? PIZZA And America runs on pizza. Yum, FAT, SODIUM, CARBS AND BHA (causes cancer).
I know the food is real because I cook it with my hands. Sometimes I killed the food myself. Life, feeds on life, feeds on life, feeds on life.
You are one the smart ones
Do you have any sales data to support your claim that Americans buy proportionally more processed foods than other nationalities?
Mexico is the fattest country, for starters
Have you ever been a cashier at Wally mart, Kroger's, Costco or Whole Foods? That's all the data you need. Carts filled to the top with convenient processed foods.
Your response speaks to part of the problem: most Americans don't know what is healthy. Fat is fine. You should eat fat, but near zero sugar/carbs. Carbs and sugar are the major causes of obesity in the US. Go back to the 1920s and the US diet was 50~100g of carbs (sugar and starch, excluding fiber) each day. Today it's 400g ~ 500g. Most "low fat" foods just add more sugar to compensate for the taste.
Salt also isn't bad for you. Most of the studies showing it leads to heart disease or high blood pressure are pretty flawed. Same with Cholesterol. Over 3/4ths of humans self regulate cholesterol. If you eat a ton more, your body just gets rid of it. If you don't eat enough, it will make more from other nutrients. The reason we see Cholesterol is arteries is because sugar causes glysification (when you cook bacon; you know how it turns brown? Sugar does that in your arteries). Cholesterol is used to fix the damage. You constantly inflame the blood vessels and the cholesterol just builds up and builds up in the wall lining until it breaks and causes a heart attack.
Big media demonized Adkins and other low carb people in the 2000s. We're seeing Keto diets making a come back. Those diets provide us intake that's closer to what America had before the 1980s, which was way less sugar and way more meat and veggies.
You are 100% correct. Education and knowledge are key. Truth matters. But there is a horrible agenda a foot and the American people are allowing themselves to be hoodwinked (fooled) and it is going to cost them dearly. Their behavior is being severely altered by the unethical marketing of food. False or misleading claims on products, selling harmful products, unfair target marketing of children and unfair prices: are all part of the unethical-marketing strategy that is happening just for profits and most likely other nefarious purposes.

well bleached chicken is, because that's a bit gross, but yes, you don't see any obviously American products over here.
The first thing I wanted to try when I went to America was a 'corndog', because they appeared to be popular over there? We've nothing like it here, but I hope you guys don't eat too many of those things... o.O
bacon, pancakes and maple syrup was great though, I couldn't find anyone selling cherry pie
Cherry pie is likely the easiest to make, especially if you use nasty canned cherries and premade piecrust.

There's an odd appeal to bad food? like I know what a nice French apple tart is like, but a pop tart has a superficial appeal too, and both reactions coexist in my head
I eat cherry pie almost every day, but they are not always in season
