    I doubt that Europeans are making healthier choices primarily from a bigger focus on education around food. I think they come across as better educated because they grew up with laws that encouraged certain food systems. I’d imagine they’d have an easier time naming the ingredients of the bread they eat than Americans could, due to laws. I think the education starts with the politics of the food system.

      Uh, yeah, water, flour, salt and yeast.

      But if you’re talking about not cooking yourself, then you’re saying Americans are lazier at cooking things?

      I can assure you we have lazy people too, but it’s clearly the regulation which is the issue in the US. Even my dad who was fat by our standards was just completely fucking mindblown of the shape of Americans when he helped them in a Moomin theme park he worked at (as a road train-driver, don’t worry it’s an equally confusing in whatever language you use).

      This thing.
