how do americans manage to eat so much junk food?

capitalism's pursuit of profit figured out that it's easier to program dumb consumers into buying your product than it is to create a good competitive product.

I make no apology for my fellow Americans. They eat shit and like it.

Boredom, malnutrition and low energy levels, and limited understanding / experiences

Because being so free is exhausting, you need those sugars and fats and carbs to energize you at a level that vegetables can't.

I'd probably eat one burger and feel full for the whole day and half of the next.

selling everything in a 'funsize' in pallets of 30 at a discount certainly doesn't help

I'm not American and looking at this picture makes me very confused inside. On the one hand it's disgusting, on the other one I want to try to eat like a pig until I feel bad just to see how bad it can get.

I think a big reason is if your parents kept shitty food around the house when you were a kid. In Europe, was junkfood isn't really a constant ficture in peoples houses from my experience. If you feel like some chips, you go to the store and buy it. You don't just have 5 packs in your cupboard. Similar for ice cream. My relatives in the US, on the other hand, always had a cupboard full of snacks, ice cream in the freezer etc and they aren't even fat. So in peoples mind it eating junk food is something they've always done on a regular basis while for yuros it's an infrequent treat.

He could have started resurrecting people from the dead and the GOP would have screamed about him needlessly increasing social security outlays.

I live in the states and i have no fucking clue. It's super expensive (by weight) and half the time it isn't really enjoyable.

This. Drumpfh is a f*cking retard and not my president. I wish we could have had another 20 years of Obama. Like he should have declared martial law to keep the rethuglicans out of office.

Europeans are so poor that McDonalds is a bi-yearly treat for them. Ice cream is reserved for the elites of society over there.

Fast Food is more expensive in Europe. Must be all the regulations.
