[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am surprised how much resistance there is on this thread to the idea American food is less healthy.   Shopping at a British grocery store it is clear the portion sizes are much smaller.  Meat packages are smaller.  Much smaller than here.  You can buy junk at fast food places but there are also healthier, smaller portion options that includes a large portion of tasty veggies.  You don’t have to search for that option.  In Spain a hotel breakfast buffet includes vegetables and fruit and fish.  For breakfast.  There is a very very small cereal option off to the side for Americans who can’t live without there aren’t significant carb choices.  Our food options are incredibly unhealthy.  And our portion sizes are huge.  It is a generalization, yes.  You can bake your own chicken and bread.  It shouldn’t be so hard to find good options when you don’t have time to make everything from scratch.  Grabbed a container of chicken salad as a weekend lunch for me and kids recently.  It had added honey.  The store actually sweetens chicken salad.  [/quote]
Agreed. So much of our food has added sugar. I buy an organic whole grain bread for breakfast thinking it’s super healthy. I just looked at the ingredients (which I hadn’t done before because I wrongly assumed it was healthy) and lo and behold it has “organic cane sugar”. Why does bread need added sugar?! It’s ridiculous and just one of many, many, many examples. [/quote]
