This reminds me of my first visit to the US (I'm from Europe, and was about 17-18 so this was a long time ago). Folks (very very good people) I'm staying at : you'll let us know what snacks you eat, and what beverages you like. Me (surprised) : I don't snack, and I drink water. Them (genuinely surprised) : then when do you eat? Me : well, three meals a day. I remember wondering (and I still do) what the US would look like without snacks and sodas. I had been brought up the exact opposite way. Edit: I had been brought up the opposite way, and been told that snacking and sodas would be bad for my health, and were a major cause of obesity, and it was quite a bit before 2003.
