These things are a part of the standard American diet and I wondered is everyone else feeling like crap? Or am I particularly sensitive to these foods?

Another bash Americans post.

Let’s just cut to the chase & blame Trump.

These are really odd responses. Isn’t MAHA all about eating healthy food.

I am not American, moved to US in late 90s, but still cannot get use to US food. I buy mostly from farmers, we cook 90% at home from scratch.

Nope! I think in moderation they’re a great mental health boost for me. When I treat myself to Doritos I’m instantly in a better mood and feel physically fine.

I very rarely eat fast food. I don't think I've gone to McDonald's in a few years. I think when you start consistently eating better, your body frowns on anything falling too far outside of your new norm.

Another factor that plays into my diet is my obsession with cleanliness. I assume a lot of people don't wash their hands, and they don't cover their mouths and hair. I worry about unclean habits/germs, but I trust myself the most to ensure my food is prepared properly.

So you have a mental disorder.

Oh, come on. The standard American diet deserves bashing. Look around at your fellow Americans. We are not a healthy country.

SYSCO has taken over the restaurnant supply chain. Is why all restaurants that use them taste the same now. Bug slop.

You are going to the wrong restaurants, hon.

Processed food has a huge carbon-footprint.

Yes, but only recently. I'm closing in on 50, and in the last year or two the super greasy/salty/sugary foods that make up the very broad category of "junk food" have started making me feel ill. The first culprit I noticed was takeout Chinese. Used to LOVE a General Tso's chicken on a cold weeknight. Alas.

I've always cooked most of our food from scratch, and none of this "semi homemade" stuff either. But I was never snotty about the occasional convenience meal or junky treat. I'd happily destroy a bag of cheetos. I miss that.

Some of the most unhealthy garbage there is in the fast food world. Full of MSG preservatives toxins and TONS and TONS of sugar. Fat people love them some chinese takeout and it shows.

The entire world isn't healthy anymore. Microplastics, preservatives, over medicated, under nourished, the list goes on.
