I was talking to a young couple I know who are living in Sweden while finishing up with schooling (advanced degrees). They were home in the states for a visit and were describing life in Sweden. As they went along in their descriptions I kept thinking, "Uh huh... OK... cool... very cool... sweet!..."
...and then they got to the part where they were talking about the food over there. No way, thank you very much!

I've lived in both Europe and the United States. Europe on the whole definitely has a better paid vacation scheme. Having said that, Americans seem to have a harder work ethic. I think it's ingrained into us from a young age. (Probably 2nd in the world to the Japanese) Whether this is a good thing or not is debatable. When we look at the overall quality of life, I find it unacceptable to only have two weeks off a year. It's certainly a reason for the low passport holder rates among Americans. If you only have two weeks, broken up a week at a time, it is a major deterrent to travel outside of your country when you're losing two of the seven days to travel time.

What is wrong with their food??
Limited selection, high cost. I'm not sure if that means it's because they don't import a lot of stuff which is not a bad thing. It's better to eat what grows locally in terms of using fewer resources/ energy. I'd rather have more fresh produce myself.

What city do they live in? Are we talking supermarket-wise or restaurant-wise?

There are 30+ ketchup choices at my grocery store. Even Heinz has a natural/organic option without all of the shit in it. And a salt free version, and a honey instead of sugar version, etc... So that meme is a little wonky. If people are still buying the sugary version, it is because they want to. We have plenty of options here.

When it comes to food products I stick to Canadian as much as possible, and absolutely will not buy food products from China, India or Brazil and another 3rd world country with no standards...by the way FUCK CHINA
I do not consume ketchup...but if I were it would be French's. French's mustard is the best.
Yellow mustard sucks. Now I have my sister mail me Bertman's classic Cleveland Stadium Mustard a few times a year, but I think I'm an outlier there. Heinz is the best ketchup. I think I can safely speak for the world and say everyone thinks this but you. I have a special gift that way. One other person I know of shares a similar gift of infallible knowledge. You might know him.

So, that picture still says something. Even if you can pick whatever. We also have different versions, including completely sugar free options. Doesn't take away from the point of the picture - you little corn syrup loving rascals leading the obesity league.

I agree. But I rather have the one without corn syrup and shit in it.
But nowadays I barely eat ketchup, and if I do I have the one (sadly not Heinz) without any sugar or sweetener added whatsoever in my refrigerator. It tastes great too, more tomato:y - and without any sugar or other shit.

Yes, that picture says that they took an exceptionally limited view of the food options we have in this country and used their biased editorial opinion to select one of hundreds of options to use in a meme to produce some sort of emotion or reaction, whether that be acceptance and bias confirmation from you, or an argument from me. So job well done on the meme, which provides no useful information.

It is still the same product offered from two different countries, and shows a huge difference. Obviously it says something. Whatever other options you do have. Like every country has options.

"I rather eat things grown organically and from canada, but I don't care how the animals are treated that I eat" <-- is that the case?
