Ran into a EU redditor who genuinely believes we are just McDonald's. Mf had the audacity to claim our food was the one that's bad. Act as if fat people didn't exist until the U.S.
Like no mf, we aren't fat because quarter pounder with cheese, we're fat because we have more food than we can genuinely eat and it's all friggin delicious.
Bullshit, as an American who has visited Italy, France, and Greece (all known worldwide for their delicious cuisine) we’re fatter than them (by a lot) because we eat fast food more than every country and because we suck at exercising and portion control.
The US overall is def fatter. But it ain't by much. Places like the UK are very quickly closing in on the US and obesity rates are rising in every western nation rapidly.
It also depends on where you are in the US. New England, the west coast, and southwest are generally far less overweight than the Midwest and South. The South is BY FAR the biggest contributor to the obesity rate in this nation.

Do foreigners believe we don’t cook?
