Americans can do a lot of things. But cooking is not one of them. It already starts at the grocery store where the vegetable section is smaller than the candy, crisps section. Its made very tempting to produce garbage food.
- Izkata 2y agoThe vegetable section is about 2-3x as large as the snack/candy aisle at my (American) grocery store. And that's not even counting the fruit area next to it.
- rascul 2y agoI can't recall any grocery stores where the vegetable section is smaller than the candy and crisps section. Certainly not the ones I've frequently shopped at over the years. But maybe I also have a different definition of "grocery store". I suspect you're not in the USA because of the term "crisps". What we commonly call a "grocery store" here, from what I understand, might be called a "supermarket" in other parts of the world, which may be where the mix up happens. Edit to add: We do have in some areas smaller grocery stores that are not supermarkets and what they contain can vary wildly. Also, you might be surprised at some of the cooking us Americans can do. Not me, but others that aren't me.
- alliao 2y agowe all need to visit Portugal to relearn what is food...apparently less than 2% of their caloric intake comes from processed food, insanity. how is it possible.
- Ekaros 2y agoI can only account that to some extreme definition of what "processed" food consist of in that statistic. Generally processed food is rather low bar. And lot of reasonable daily food is processed.
