Just returned from two weeks in Europe. My gut health has magically improved, and I certainly indulged in anything I wanted to eat. Most of everything was fresh and locally grown. It was magnificent!
Our US government is slowly killing us.
Who prevents you to buy locally grown food in US? We only buy from local farms, including meat and dairy. I am European who live in Northern Virginia and there are plenty of good healthy food choices here. Additionally, we grow our vegetables and herbs during summer. I am 45 and I weight 49 kg.
You’re in America now, speak American.

Portion sizes were normal, lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, and food was free of chemicals and additives. I felt full faster and healthier as food was natural and unprocessed.
Everyone is thin in Asia.

They are just as fat as we are! What are you talking about? To be statistically significant there needs to be >5% difference.

Wrong, poutine is popular across the entire country. It’s delicious and we love it!
DCUM has spoken. Poutine is not popular in Canada. This area is full of experts regarding international affairs.
I’m in western canada and poutine is my favourite food mmmmmm
I am from Quebec and I am not a poutine fan.
I had an American friend who ordered “poutain” once, and I almost died laughing. I had to teach her the proper way to say it.
Wow it doesn’t take much to make you laugh. Wait until you learn all the things the Quebecois mispronounce.
Do you even know what it means? Google it.
