[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is definitely the snacking, the added sugar in American food, and the drinks. I lived in Europe for 5 years, and honestly couldn't believe the people weren't fatter - the food seemed so unhealthy - you literally cannot find any unsugared, un-chocolate cereals (apart from muesli), so many pastries, so much bread, butter, ham, cheese... But! other posters are spot on that there's just no normalized snacking or people walking around with giant sodas or sugared coffee drinks. The other crazy thing is that in my experience, Europeans don't exercise intently like Americans do (my sample size is Americans that do exercise, not those that don't). [/quote] It's the additives in American food and lack of portion control. I'm an immigrant and was shocked when a teenage guest took 4 slices of pizza on his first helping. Didnt care about leaving enough for other people, including us hosts. Wouldn't happen in other cultures.[/quote]
