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

That would be a problem if kids lived at the hotel. But they don’t.

So? What do you feed them at home?

Maybe parent your kids, spend time with them, take them out with you for a nice meal instead of farming them off to the hotel "kids night." What do you expect?

1. Restaurant food is not much better (see menu above)
2. I can buy my child breakfast, lunch a dinner at $30-$50 a meal, but why should this be a price to pay for trying to eat healthy? Why do I have to go extra miles? Why can’t the hotel and restaurants serve healthy options like they’re serving pizza?

NP. If they did serve healthy stuff, you’d still pig out on the junky crap, because that’s the type of person you are. Just own it.

No, you, Americans, pig out and it shows. We, Europeans, care about our food and so we are infuriated by the choices.

You are in a resort. Everything is expensive. You don’t want to pay resort price for heathy food get an Airbnb and shop at the local market for your meals.

I’m in Florida now, at a beach resort. There are two restaurant in the hotel. Kids eat free. Here is the kids menu:
- cheese pizza with fries
- cheeseburger with fries
- mac and cheese with fries
- grilled cheese with fries
- fried chicken with fries

Salads cost $12-$14 and then you have to purchase a separate entree if you want some protein.

Yup, and the salad will be tasteless, limp, and nutritionally devoid if you buy it.

Of course you are right, OP, but you will get the reactionary "git yer hands off my tasteless junk food" crowd all upset now.

You keep posting this. Do you not understand that you’re describing OP?

I'm not the only one who has used this phrase. It has resonated because it's accurate.

And no, I am not describing OP. I am talking about all the reactionaries on this thread who are unaware of what healthy food availability looks and tastes like and who are utterly behind the times as far as public health and obesity go. You are parroting nonsense that was debunked 20 years ago.

I wish for your sake you might understand what truly healthy food tastes like some day, rather than trying to maintain the illusion that general American food options aren't horrid.

Not PP, but CICO nonsense. You think as long as you eat only 1200 calories of fries and pizza you’ll be healthy? That happens to be the pitch that crap food industry is making too - “it’s OK to eat donuts/pizza/mac & cheese in moderation.” News flash - no, it’s not. It’s bad for your health.

Yeah…so, again, where in my comment did I say that? Still waiting.

Just wow at some of the ignorance in this thread.

A lot of mental gymnastics done here to justify how crappy the government and food regulations are.

You know, you do have the ability to regulate what you eat/dont eat without the government.

But, you elect the government, to serve you? As do I? Right? So, how come officials that I elected are not serving my best interests? Some democracy! How are you ok with being sold crap?
Bcs you don't have a government that works for you! That is how. You live in some feudal capitalism where you are a pig being fed slop! And you are so stupid, you are ok with it!

[Anonymous]

Because they are too stupid? Well, some of them, as proven by this thread!
Too much fat and not enough oxygen in the brains to make them think... hey, this is not ok!
Some, not all! But, many here clearly have no capacity to actually think!
