[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Poor quality processed foods that are literally at every corner + super sized portions+inactivity

But Americans want this. People get bent out of shape if they go out to eat and the portions aren’t huge.  They feel cheated and complain. So…restaurants use cheaper crap so they can give the masses the super portions they demand

This is an unfair assessment. I would love smaller portions of higher quality food but honestly I mostly see those at the fancy/weird restaurants. I have no interest in most of the fancy/weird recipes and would prefer higher quality smaller portion “normal” food. Alas, it isn’t to be. [/quote]
DP. I disagree with your opinion and agree with the above pp. My FIL just about loses his mind if he gets a smaller portion. He stopped going to that Black Eyed Pea BCS; they made portions slightly smaller. He goes on and on about this is even a sandwich if he doesn't get a foot long. He goes nuts if his cruise deserts are less sweet and rants about them catering to the Europe crowd. He is a fairly good representative of his generation here. My mom weighs less than he does, but he considers himself normal weight(just a sextuplets belly, nothing more than that!) My mom is in Europe, and I am European; DH and I are the only slim ones in our generation in his family.[/quote]
