      The ease of access and availability of unprocessed foods, or food products without high amounts of corn syrup, sugars and other additives, is much higher in most of the world outside of the US. I can never stay in the US for more than a couple of weeks without gaining weight. Then again, it doesn’t help that US food is fantastically tasty, either ♥️

      There have been account after account of people leaving the States for one reason or another (Military relocation, job placement, etc), monitor their diet and actually find that while they are technically eating more, they are losing weight.

      America’s got problems.

        Bullshit. The laws of thermodynamics will not be denied.

        Now, if you told me the American food industry was just lying about calorie content in the first place…

          Probably more a case that people don’t look at calories and make the comparison based on volume eaten, feelings etc.
