Never had a cavity without using flouride paste for years either
And yeah our water is more or less safe from this, but we do have some metal-related controversies last I heard
Food is thankfully tested thoroughly, I can't imagine how trashy fast food in the US must be
We've got our fair share of metal controversies too. They've been talking about putting lithium in the water to "combat quarantine depression" in my county. I really wonder if rainwater would be better to drink at this point.
American food, in itself is great. I love a big nice burger, apple pie is perfection, french fries are great, yankee beverage is my go to summer drink, fried chicken is magic, barbecue ribs are just wonderful. I've heard that our serving sizes are a bit of a shock to those uninitiated in american cuisine. The infamous eating culture is rooted in an excess of food, along with times of hunger and mixed with a great working man's appetite, going back many generations. It's the greasy, convenient fast food mcdonalds culture that ruined the food scene in this country. Instead of hardy meals, they serve people literal cardboard and flavoring in order to squeeze every ounce of profit they they can.
The convenient food now is packed with preservatives, sugar, salt and soy, then cooked in soy oil. Most of which you find at the grocer is the same way. The key is to make it yourself from raw produce or find a restaurant that appreciates a natural diet. If you can find natural american cuisine, made the way it was made before the fast food boom, it's the best eating in the world, although I may be a bit biased!
Oh I do enjoy a large meal at certain days, I was referring to supermarkets and the soy thing.
I wonder what exactly is behind the inclusion of soy in almost everything, originally I thought it was because it's cheaper and easier to grow in the colder climates but then they put soy-related ingredients where they don't belong. Is it to make food addictive? Hormones? (I doubt that sometimes because afaik only the bean part has these but then again, I want to believe these stupid energy protein bars secretly promote estrogen)
