It's funny, as an American I had this high impression of European cuisine... until I spent time in Europe (lots more fried food than I was expecting!). I know a lot of people who had this stereotype that all Americans were fat and overweight, and then they get here and say "oh, it's really just the same as back home". I think the only difference in America is that there is this long tail at the end of the distribution. 95% of us look and eat roughly as healthy as any other population, and then there is this 5% of extremely obese people that they show facelessly on the news.
