I wouldn't say that's typical of most American households though. Ever heard of the Standard American Diet?
- aaomidi 3y agoAmerica is extremely diverse. There is no “standard diet”.
- subpixel 3y agoThere empirically is a standard American diet. Of course diversity also exists but it’s insignificant statistically. When this changes you’ll see different food at rest stops on interstate highways. It’ll happen but not very fast.
- TaylorAlexander 3y agoI think the whole point is that an American who eats a lot of rice is not served by the answer “it’s not a problem, Americans don’t eat a lot of rice”. I think the people are trying to figure out if arsenic levels in rice will be a problem for them specifically, not our population as a whole. When they say “is that a problem here?” they mean “is the rice I am buying here of concern if I eat a lot of it?”
