Can you give me an example of a specific country where the quick and easy foods are healthy? [/quote]

Sure. In France I can stop by a coffee shop/cafe and get a croissant and a yogurt. It’s going to be healthy, not some sugar infused substance with a shelf life of 60 days.

In France I can also stop by a shop or cafe and get a sandwich for lunch.  It’s not going to be like a questionable  Subway sandwich with sugar filled bread and cold, sad toppings that look like they had been sitting there for days.  It will be made fresh with good quality bread, meat and cheese and vegetables.

Ok, but the real issue is that your French sandwich isn't going to be some foot long behemoth stuffed with meat and cheese.  It will be probably a 4-5 inch sandwich.  Yes the French sandwich will be fresher with better ingredients, but a 12 inch high quality french sandwich will make you fat too.  Self life is not really the issue.  American portion sizes are ridiculously large [/quote]

Not just the portion size. I firmly believe the quality of food affects how it will be processed, stored in our body, effect hormone levels, etc.  It’s both - size and quality.[/quote]

Calories in, calories out. If what you care about is the number on the scale, that's all that matters. You can subsist on nothing but burgers and fries and if you keep your portions small enough, you'll lose weight. The problem is that American portions are massive, so your serving of fries will have as many calories as you need in a day. [/quote]
