  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 would be fine, I wish they/d go back to that. Correlation ain’t causation but the states weren’t obese till canola oil and margarine.

      Butter and lard aren’t the problems with the American diet.

      It’s almost impossible to find anything still made with lard anymore.
