What do you mean? Why? Just because of the insane number of products? Or do you think American cuisine is the best in the world?eddiec said:If we're veering into food, the US wins this one hands down.In a head to head vs Sweden I was referring.As for US restaurants in regards to the rest of the world? The best restaurants in the states are on par with any country's top eateries.In terms of produce? Overall, I would rate the states poorly. But if you seek it out, you will find premium local produce.But there are major issues with American slaughterhouses. Not to mention cows who live their lives without seeing the sun.In terms of choice? Endless. (Probably too much)0 -

My statement can't be an exaggeration, so you must be lying. The world is so easy for me.Meltdown99 said:
Not true. My sister also uses French's as well. So there is at least 2 of us...mrussel1 said:
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.Meltdown99 said:
I do not consume ketchup...but if I were it would be French's. French's mustard is the best.mrussel1 said:
What? Do you use Hunt's?Meltdown99 said:Heinz sucks big time...
You 2 will soon be concert buddies...lol...with the special gift you have.0 -

Choice is a great thing. This country is diverse. There are parts of the country where obesity is rampant due to many factors from lack of exercise to poor choices when purchasing ketchup, to lack of education. What are you suggesting with this tangent anyway? That based on ketchup ingredients, the UK is preferable to the US when it comes to a decision about where to live?Spiritual_Chaos said:
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.jeffbr said:
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.Spiritual_Chaos said:
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.jeffbr said: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.

It was a "lagom" tounge-in-cheek response to @brianlux . And I would imagine he would get that., because he likes Neil Young. I do understand the US is diverse - I mean it's your number one fall back together with "so big".jeffbr said:

And I don't think anyone would decide where to live because of ketchup (But I do think ketchup is a good example if you want to get a hint of the differences in the bottom baseline for food quality).

I’m not sure about that. Yes, we use high fructose corn syrup more prevalently due to its availability (produced in the US), but the UK also puts it in many of their products. Neither source of sugar is great for you, btw. That being said, there are numerous options with or without sugar that are just as readily available on the store shelves. Is HFCS banned in Sweden?Spiritual_Chaos said:

We have a ton of high quality food options, and a ton of junk food options...including fast food.

how does our local swedish guy feel about rapper A$AP Rocky being in a Swedish prison for 2 weeks, with no charges filed and the American Embassy trying to get involved? Does the below seem fair?
