  +1. And it's not just price, its quality too. Even if you avoid processed junk and go after raw meats, veggies and fruit, you're still eating manufactured, as opposed to grown, sub-standard stuff. My friends who come here to visit, after sharing their initial comments about the US, almost always compliment their overall very positive impression of the country with mandatory: "... but the food... sorry but it tastes like shit here, how can you eat this? Even Coca Cola is much worse, why is that?"

    It's so true, I traveled a little and as soon as I returned I noticed 1) our supermarkets have no seasons 2) the chicken was mushy and flavorless. I still can't eat fast food.

    Can you say High-fructose corn syrup? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-fructose_corn_syrup#Sweetener_consumption_patterns http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-fructose_corn_syrup#Sweete... With government subsidies for corn, it's more economical for Coke/Pepsi to use HFCS.

    When I lived in the US I was at first fascinated, then disturbed that bread, milk, etc stayed fresh for so long... Americans who come here at first are always shocked at how "quickly" our food spoils, well, it's supposed to do that!
