Why don’t Americans give a f*** about what they eat?

On the contrary, when I go out for dinner in France the food will be healthy.

When I grab a sandwich in France it will be healthy and not made out of highly processed bread with a ton of sugar in it.

84% of people with pre diabetes don’t know about it.


Hey, great. I’m still not one of them.

Own your crappy food choices, OP, instead of blaming “America”.


According to you millions of Americans just make poor choices and millions of Italians and French just make better choices, but it has nothing to do with choices at their disposal? Please…


No, I don’t see that statement anywhere in my posts. Individuals make choices, including you, OP. You chose to eat poorly for 15 years despite apparently coming from a country of origin with superior eating habits. Why is that?


This is such a typical American post:
“Corporations sell and market crappy food, and lobby the government to create “food pyramids” that highlight foods that are bad for you. Yet it’s ALL YOUR FAULT fat person! It’s your bad individual choices. And no, I don’t see the billionaire in the corner profiting from my obesity and laughing at me.”

(The post also has a little salting of xenophobia too, putting down other countries. Also par for the course for the average American freedumb type.


Lol what?? So it’s perfectly acceptable for OP to blame everyone else for her choices and take zero responsibility? Oook. And really? Xenophobia? What I see is OP, a foreigner, making a lot of ignorant accusations at “Americans”. Not the other way around.


I feel like that PP is probably OP.

Much like OP, you seem to be out of touch with logic.

Give it a rest, OP. You can’t just eat whatever you want in France and magically stay thin.

Yeah, I made bad choices. When I moved here I didn’t know that the food could be “bad”. In my country you gained weight if you ate too many sweets. I didn’t know that restaurant food could be processed junk filled with chemicals. They didn’t put chemicals in food in my country. I didn’t know food in USA was a minefield and you have to watch every step.

My friend’s daughter, 11, almost died last summer from undiagnosed diabetes. No one even considered it, the girl is thin as a model and ate a normal American kid diet.

Most of pre diabetics don’t even know they have it unless you check for it specifically.

You’ve been so brainwashed by “freedumb” propaganda from the American press that you don’t even have any idea what is being talked about, do you?
So sad.

Go live in another country for a year.

I have lived in several other countries. For more than a year. But thanks for trying. The “American press” isn’t making you fat. Try again. I think you’re just not very bright, OP.

If you are truly surrounded by unhealthy foods with no healthy options within driving distance then you really should move. None of my friends or acquaintances in the dmv area have these problems. We know how to find healthy food whether we are eating out or at home. This is a problem with a solution.

Have you been outside dmv? Have you been South or Midwest?

Why do you think while you’re living in Europe you don’t get weight and make “right” choices but in America all of a sudden you’re making “bad” choices?

It doesn’t occur to you it has something to do with the choices?

This is a weird stereotype that there’s just no healthy food in the south or Midwest.

Op, you have to exercise and make better food choices. People around you will eat poorly and not exercise. You must look out for your own health and nutrition. Don’t let your diabetes progress.

No, no it’s not. Drive yourself to the nearest grocery store, buy fresh fruits and vegetables and lean proteins, drive back home and cook them yourself. Do not go to Taco Bell or McDonald’s or Starbucks on the way home. Et voila.



That’s it. I can only eat healthy if I cook myself at home. Once I go outside I’m surrounded by shitty food.

I have to prepare DC’s lunch because school lunches are not healthy. I’m staying in a hotel that is not cheap and has multiple restaurants and the food is crap. When I go out for dinner 80-90% of restaurant food is not healthy. If I’m driving and I need to stop for lunch there are no healthy choices. When DC goes to a party the food will be crap.

You see my point?


Why are you expecting to eat healthy restaurant food? That’s one of the fundamental food issues in this country. People want to eat convenience food or restaurant food instead of cooking. That automatically ups the salt, fat and sugar intake. Most restaurants do offer something healthy on the menu, but who wants to order steamed vegetables when you could have French fries?

Have you been to small towns in the Midwest or South? Healthy living is not an option
