When I was travelling in the US I thought it was great. Eat one normal portion at 8 or 9 in the morning, walk around all day and only get hungry at 6pm or later

- cylinder 10y agoHah, the difference is, in middle America they are washing that breakfast down with a Coke or a coffee with 10 sugars, then a big fast food burger at noon, then snacks, then a big dinner.
- JPKab 10y agoI think this is a very cartoonish and incorrect statement. I live in Arkansas, and nobody I know eats like that. Nobody I grew up with in rural Virginia eats like that either. Unusually ignorant and poor people in rural America will eat that way, but there are plenty of those in the inner cities as well. While of course there are higher rates of obesity in "middle America", the portrayal you paint reeks of elitist snobbery.
- cylinder 10y agoI'm from Texas, I witnessed this all the time growing up, as well as working in a professional office for a software company. Did I say everyone does it? No, but it is common enough. Are people improving? Yes, many, but still most are stuck with horrible habits. In the 90s, my school teachers almost always had a can of Coke or fast food fountain soda cup for breakfast. Yes, Coke.
