[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Perhaps it’s “ingredients “ like this:

“More than 80% of urine samples drawn from children and adults in a US health study contained a weedkilling chemical linked to cancer, a finding scientists have called “disturbing” and “concerning”.

The report by a unit of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found that out of 2,310 urine samples, taken from a group of Americans intended to be representative of the US population, 1,885 were laced with detectable traces of glyphosate. This is the active ingredient in herbicides sold around the world, including the widely used Roundup brand. Almost a third of the participants were children ranging from six to 18.”

And this is just one study of one ingredient. Hormones, medications, fertilizers, pollution, different varieties of food sources — all might play some part in what could be significant differences between US and EU foodstuffs, in addition to other lifestyle variables.

Oh yeah.  It must be this.  This is why Americans are fat.  It can’t possibly be the large quantities of fast food, processed snack foods, soda, triple scoops of ice cream,  mass produced low quality chain restaurant foods, and huge portions of all the garbage food they eat.  But they love it and won’t have it any other way.

The egg from a chicken raised in a cage or the non organic broccoli isn’t making anyone obese.  [/quote]

OP here. I’m not trying to lose weight. My weight fluctuates up and down about 20 lbs (more in the US, down outside the US) but I’m tall so that isn’t as dramatic as it would be on a short person.  But it’s really crazy to me how effortlessly I lose weight in Europe even when I eat more. I think there must be something going on.

I think the people pointing to bread may be on to something for me. [/quote]

Stop eating bread in the US and see what happens! [/quote]
