Like my American expat friends? Or my online American friends? They all tell me the same

So how to get the correct view? If eating there (all across the US) isn’t good enough apparently.

Sadly Africa isn’t great everywhere due to conflicts, but it sure is an amazing and beautiful continent with amazing people. I’ve been to many places along the east coast. Next year I’m going to south Africa.

Fair, but so far the European influences in American cuisine that I’ve seen have been greatly Americanized, meaning the balance is out and the fats and sugars are in. For example, any Italian style food in America would give any Italian a heart attack. Both from the shock and fats. And even if there’s a healthy dish, the ingredients are still very unhealthy. Capitalism prioritized profits over heath safety, plus those “healthy” fresh ingredients are insanely expensive compared to a burger from McDonald’s. So many don’t have the choice to buy fresh. Of course not every ingredient is unhealthy, there is also a lot of import and organic. But that’s even more expensive. So there is an option to consume healthy, it’s just not an option to most due to cost.

you probably have never seen real American food
Objection: speculation.
Yes I have. I’ve seen local dishes from several locations in the US, however I wasn’t impressed. It generally consisted of too much meat and far to few vegetables. It’s far from a healthy balanced diet. There are too many sugars and fats in most dishes. Even when ordering dinner often there’s sugar in it. There’s even sugar injected into supermarket meats. What the actual fuck. I’ve also had the pleasure (not really) to have meals on US war ships on too many occasions. Including the USS Enterprise. Yes, the one from Top Gun, now decommissioned.
I’ve also seen reports on the food safety regulations, or lack thereof. This is the reason why many American food isn’t allowed in Europe. It doesn’t even come close to meet our minimum standards. I’ve seen reports on the issue of real food like fruits and vegetables (still not meeting European standards in most cases though) being extremily expensive while fast food is relatively cheap, forcing people living in poverty, which is a massive part of the American population, to eat chemical waste causing loads of health issues. You know, the stuff you need heath care insurance for, which they can’t pay for either.
In your picture is herring with pickles and onions. It’s healthy, but I don’t like it. The Dutch cuisine used to be Bourgondisch but since the second world war it became very plain as people had to make healthy food fast and simple with whatever was available, to rebuild the country. Our rich cuisine never returned. However, these days you can order food originated from all over the world. Yet again, going for Americans style food, it’s very much not healthy at all.

Well, seeing the chemical waste people eat in the US, I do think they hate real food. Also in my culture (Dutch) food isn’t as important as it is in Italy for example. We eat rather healthy, but the best quality food we produce we export because we love money more than food apparently. For the best quality food produced in the Netherlands you need to go to a supermarket in France. It’s stupid.

Yet this is based on the assumption there were more options, plus the total should still not exceed 100%
- Comment on 102% 3 days ago:
Ok, fair enough, yet again you can’t divide the group into smaller groups and by rounding up ending up with a larger group. Percent means per 100. It can never end up being more than 100, except for Trump who is going to reduce medicine prices 1200%. I mean, Americans use weird measurements already, their education system is already fucked and getting worse, I can understand they fail at primary school level math. But this is a British news paper.

Don’t be so corny
- Comment on 102% 3 days ago:
So there were other options you mean? Like 0.5% couldn’t read, 0.5% drew a picture of a gun instead of answering, etc?
- Comment on 102% 3 days ago:
All those Americans willing to sacrifice countless lives, including children, all to keep the second amendment to be able to rise up against their government if needed… Well, how about now? This is your time to show your bullshit argument was something you meant.
- Comment on 102% 3 days ago:
What rounding algorithm was used?
A wrong one clearly haha
- Comment on 102% 3 days ago:
39.5 + 0.5
=40, not 41
55.5 + 0.5
=56, not 57
Its only possible if you round up 40.1 to 41, which is also bad math. When there are 3 variables properly rounded up, you can only have 3x0.5 added.

Too deep in, have to stick with it now. Too ashamed to openly admit they were both too dumb and ignorant to believe his lies, so they just continue doing it while pointing fingers at others. When you blame others for everything bad you did or are, all they can only reply with “no you!” which is a weak response. It’s hiding by pointing fingers at others. Shame others to hide your shame.

It’s amazing to see all the effort we all put in perfecting technology to long-term store our porn. 360TB? I’d like to order 2 please.
- Comment on Eat more fibre or something 4 days ago:
I think it’s just proper English spelling. In Brittain it’s also fibre. I don’t know about other English speaking countries though. But it’s easy to assume it’s just the US Americans who can’t spell and messed it all up.
- Comment on Eat more fibre or something 4 days ago:
Wtf is your diet if it’s a struggle? Just don’t eat garbage. And like the title says, eat enough fibers (with liquids). If you’re shitting bricks you’re doing something wrong.

Well, there isn’t an ‘é’ at the end of Chipotle so I assume you pronounce it like Aristotle instead of like Nestlé.
- Comment on Always wear protection, folks 1 week ago:
I go to a metal workplace to work on projects. There’s a guy there, he’s so “cool”, he doesn’t wear ear protection even when hitting metal with a hammer or while grinding, and he doesn’t wear a welding helmet. “I’m not a pussy”. He’s actively blinding and deafening himself, because he thinks it’s cool. What a dumb idiot.

I’d go for shrooms if I were you. You can dose it nicely, so start mild for the first time. DMT is end game when it comes to tripping. But whatever you do, study it so you know what to do, what to take and how much and what to expect. And especially: what not to do. It’s super nice, but you should do it responsibly otherwise it can be really bad. If you want advice on anything, feel free to dm me

- Comment on This, a pen, and coffee 1 week ago:
It’s the drug your brain constantly makes, but is immediately broken down. As soon as you have a near death experience, adrenaline is being released into your bloodstream and is broken down instead of the DMT, releasing the DMT into your brain, giving you the trip of your life just before you die (protection mechanism). This is why you have people say after a near death experience they saw a tunnel with light near the end, saw their entire life pass bye, have out of body experiences, etc.
There’s a plant based variant as well, but you need to mix it with other stuff to prevent it from being broken down by your stomach. It’s called Ayahuasca. The effect takes much longer as it goes through your digestive system while regular synthetic DMT goes over your lungs.
There’s also an animal form which is produced by a toad, called 5MEO-DMT which is insanely strong. You can torture the toad and lick it from its back or you can smoke the synthetically made form. But I’d start with regular DMT, 5MEO even tamed Mike Tyson.
It’s nasty (like burned plastic in your lungs), but these days you can get vapes which makes it much easier to take as it has much less taste and to dose.
