This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:

- Anon is often depressed.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Anyone who looks at the U.S. and thinks it's a fucked up country because of the food just isn't paying attention.
It may not be the only issue but it is definitely on the list.
Agreed to both of these points, though as an American I will say there are healthier options, it's just that they make those cost twice as much as the cheaper, unhealthy options.
Go to a Mexican restaurant. Fajitas are $25 or more. It's just vegetables with some meat. I can make that at home for like $3. We don't eat out much.
Agreed. It's just not where I'd start changing things.
I dunno. As the saying goes,"You are what you eat." And our elected "leader" advocates the leading producer of junk food.
Maybe if the American populace had actual nutrients in their bodies instead of butter and lard, we'd be able to critically think for once
Butter and lard aren't the problems with the American diet.
It's almost impossible to find anything still made with lard anymore.
Try high fructose corn syrup
Anyone who (likely) intentionally writes the word "snicker" wrong to include a slur doesn't think the actual bad stuff in America is bad.
Snigger is just a variant form more common in the UK, where snicker is the preferred one in the US. Though I wouldn't put it past a 4chan user, it's also a perfectly normal word they may have learned being taught and exposed to UK variants of English.
That's so weird, I've literally never seen that form used even by people from the UK.
I guess it's plausible that they'd just write it like that, I guess.
The secret third option is that they know that it's a way of spelling it and prefer to use it because hehe n word.
I thought, and a quick Google confirms, that it is used in the Harry Potter series a few times. Obviously, you might not have read them, but for people in my cohort, that was likely our largest exposure point to British culture.

Real
The food stands out. Like Australia has too many fat people too, but our restaurants don't cater to them like America's - don't try to feed everyone a meal suited to a 200kg man trying for 300.
Most of the food comes from fast food along stroads. It is a core part of the problem. The education system is probably the root, but I wouldn't expect a tourist to understand that.
