[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]-Our flour is highly processed.  
-Our pasta is also highly processed, not made of the same durum wheat as Italian pasta. 
-Our soil is extremely depleted of nutrients. 
-There's hidden sugars in everything

This except I’m not knowledgeable about the soil issue.

I used to think the fervor about non gmo but as stupid but honestly now I think there may be something to it. And I agree we have more added sugars.

I also always lose weight in Europe. And stuff like pizza that makes me feel gross and bloated here doesn’t do the same here.[/quote]

OP here. The pizza thing is noticeable for me. When I am there, I eat the Italian-style personal pizza, where you get one personal pizza. That’s a huge amount of pizza! I usually leave a slice or two, and can’t finish, but still, it’s a lot. Here, I feel gross and bloated after just one slice, and I rarely eat pizza as a result. I can’t help but wonder if there is something different in the pizza ingredients. [/quote]

We generally have more cheese on our pizza here.  On everything, actually. It may be the lactose.[/quote]
Not just more cheese but more sugar. The crust is sweet, the sauce is sweet, the toppings are sweet (pineapple…yuck). We just eat too much damn sugar in this country! (And yes, I know lactose is also a sugar). [/quote]

Well skip the d*amn pizza and eat the pineapple!   Pizza is gross.  At least put some paper towels on top of the pizza and take the grease off of it. Really, people, take responsibility for your eating habits![/quote]
