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

Naw. But it is glaringly obvious you've never tasted truly good food. That's why you think Disney has good food. Idk what to call people who think Disney has good food. Junk food addict seems reasonable, though. Maybe consider why you feel the need to defend the vile food of multibillion dollar entertainment juggernauts? It's certainly not logical behavior.

Again, I am not the Disney poster. But clearly you have nothing else to cling to, so you keep bringing it up. I’m sorry you misinterpreted the thread so badly that it needed to be explained to you like a toddler…that must sting a bit.

Your beef is with people like OP who have money and education yet unrepentingly shovel junk food into their bodies and then wait for the government to save them from their choices. I will continue to eat healthy food as I always have, instead of junk. Have a great day 🙏

I know who I think is dim in this thread, and it's not OP. But 🙏 to you too, because God knows you need it.

Sounds like your kid wanted a Frappuccino, which is basically a milkshake. You can easily order plain coffee or an americano in Starbucks with no sweetener. Did you really not know that sugary drinks have a lot of sugar?

Why would a person think a coffee drink = sugary drink. Only in America. Kids don’t know this. They also think chocolate milk at schools is healthy. The sugar, additives, preservatives get concealed in food and drinks in America.

You are dead wrong. There is actually a bakery across from my home (here in Western Europe!) that sells plenty of sweetened coffee drinks. They are treats. They are high calorie. My kid understands that they are not good for him, and usually he chooses cappuccino on his way out. But we taught him to make that choice.

OP, you sound so stupid as you keep insisting that there are no easy junk food options in Europe. Just stop it. There are fat people here because they make poor food choices, just as there are fat people in the US.

And OP STILL refuses to tell us which country she is from.

I don’t even think it matters! She clearly is determined to never take responsibility for her choices…it feels so much better to deflect and say that her diagnosis is because of big, bad America instead of owning up to her personal decisions.

Yeah, I’m at a hotel with $300-$400 rate and multiple restaurants. The food here is mostly crap (I finally did find a decent Italian restaurant last night). They don have nutrition facts so I have no idea what I’m eating.

So if I can’t find healthy food in this setting what hope so you have for low income people?

I guess I should drive to farmer’s market and cook something up in my room.

There’s really not a single salad on the menu? Or grilled meat with steamed vegetables? Usually the options are there, but they don’t taste as good so people don’t order them.

This is true but you’ll likely get some bagged iceberg lettuce and dried out grilled chicken with some diced cucumbers and likely no homemade dressing, so you’ll need to ask for the sad Heinz vinegar and oil

Don’t you think if our country had a better work/life balance people would eat better? A lot of the really unhealthy food is convenience food. People have dual working parent families, almost everyone I know works more than 40 hours a week, and vacation days are abysmal. Lots of companies you only start at 10 days for the year, if you have the sort of job where you get paid vacation at all.

It’s legitimately hard to cook healthy food when our American culture is so focused on work being primary in life. Food isn’t the only area that suffers, but it’s definitely a byproduct.

DP. The PPs would consider that "good food," having never actually experienced actual good food before.

How would you know what food the PPs eat, or consider good?

Why would anyone take responsibility for someone else’s mistakes? I don’t do this in real life, why would I do it for someone like OP who blames everyone and everything other than themselves for all the crap food they eat?

Why would I take responsibility for someone else’s obesity? I know personal accountability is a foreign concept for you, but maybe put down all that junk food and eat something healthy instead of raging at people on DCUM because of your own crappy choices?

Multiple of them have talked about how good large hotel food is, or Disney food. That's all I need to know.

I don’t know, but I think PPs point was, if you happen to be in a chain hotel, rural area, etc. and the restaurant options are sparse, you are likely going to end up at a place that has 90% “unhealthy” items and fried food. So your choice ends up being wings done well or a salad done terribly.

A huge hotel in Nashville with over a dozen restaurants and healthy room service options is not some backwards rural shithole. OP is being completely disingenuous, as anyone can tell by Googling the hotel she mentioned, and looking at the breakfast menus. All the fresh fruit and yogurt and egg whites available kinda take the wind out of her whole narrative.

You as a nation, as a country, as society, as a culture is unhealthy and fat. Reality check.
