You overlooked a comment that you responded directly to? Okay.

In USA you can choose to eat healthy, or you can choose to eat junk. Plenty of people in France choose to eat fried food at kebab places, and plenty of people in USA choose to eat balanced healthy meals. The “unenlightened” person is the one who sees choices and declares they can’t live somewhere because somehow they are forced to eat only the unhealthy option.

One country prohibiting something another allows doesn’t make them correct, nor does it mean you are forced to consume it. Again you seem to believe people are forced to eat processed food, they are not.

FoodRevolution wow what a surprise you are into food advocacy organization that sells things. Maybe you should sign up for their certification!

I get it, you’re a preachy health food activist. But you couldn’t even discern Europe from Western Europe in your silly rant. You are a sucker who buys into fear mongering.

I just told you in the last comment that I have lived in Europe. Lyon and Zaragoza. I haven’t lived in USA since 2015. Yet you are telling me I need to try living in Europe for a month to become enlightened and agree with you. You are dumb as a rock, you just pile idiotic comments on top of idiotic comments.

Even trying to roll “Europe” into one monolithic entity to declare its food tastes better is dumb. Food from Moldova is better than Louisiana? Nope. Lithuanian food better than Kansas City barbecue? Negative. You can eat healthy in USA or eat unhealthy in USA, you can eat healthy in Europe or eat unhealthy in Europe.

Stop being stupid.

I’ve lived in both Europe (Lyon and Zaragoza) and USA, and I can see the advantages and disadvantages of both. It really comes down to what is important to you, there is no wrong answer.

However that doesn’t make your comment about food any less stupid.

This is such a stupid comment. Oh my God you must suffer American BBQ and can’t go to the nearest strip mall to get Mexican, Chinese, Thai, Korean, Ethiopian, Vietnamese, Italian, Greek, Peruvian, etc. you poor unimaginative sap.

Because a big house has more space to enjoy, and it doesn’t mean you’re cut off from the rest of the world. There are people in big houses who socialize a lot, and people in apartments who are shut ins.

Many kids in USA learn to ride bikes at a young age and are also free to visit friends. All kids in USA aren’t dependent on being driven around.

You have a lot of misconceptions and assumptions.

USA has far more space. It is far easier to go camping on public land or hiking and hot see anyone. It is easier to shop with a car where you can park in front of the store. It is easier to park in general. You can go on long road trips. There is a wider variety of international food available. Salaries are often much higher. Big houses with private garages. Bigger kitchens. I could go on and on.

Have you ever lived outside USA?

Why wouldn’t you?

Because there are downsides to other countries as well that many people who fantasize about moving abroad either ignore or aren’t aware of, and upside to living in USA that are difficult to duplicate in many other countries especially low cost ones.

So your rent is $400, and you’re spending $200 - $350 on all your utilities, gym, healthcare, fine wine and steaks every night and nice restaurants?

Yep right out of the gate with the premise that being middle class in America = low quality of life, followed by redditors who apparently get shot at every day while climbing over corpses on the way to the supermarket.

Yet lots of people raising families in 900 sq foot apartments in European cities would love to have that big house with space around it and either own a car or own one that isn’t tiny.

It is all subjective.

You aren’t the outlier.

Those who dislike USA tend to be a lot louder and tend to crank the hyperbole meter up to 11 while doing so.

Nonsense, US ranks quite well in quality of healthcare measured in survival rates for major ailments. The care is good, the system sucks.

There are millions of Americans working in customer service jobs who have health insurance.
