No, I live in an extremely shitty world where a majority of people are selfish idiots who only focus on their own bellies.
But I am Finnish and although (I find the country much more problematic than most would assume — vis-a-vis the population’s self-imposed authoritarianism), our food regulation isn’t too shabby.

We are in the midst of a national obesity crisis, and Americans are getting heavier. Today, about 65% of adults and 15% of children and adolescents in the US are overweight or obese.
Two thirds of adults are obese. that’s horrifying.
are you buying the meat from a butcher that only sources from local farmers? If you can afford that, yeah it’s probably on par with what Euros can buy in a grocery store. If you can’t afford that, then it doesn’t really matter if you’re the one cooking it or not, the meat is gonna be low quality.
Most American cities no longer have local butchers, it’s not like Europe. Many are reliant on bigbox stores for their base necessities especially in rural areas. So it’s not even a class issue, it’s an accessibility issue. It’s the reason why companies started rolling out subscriptions like Butcher Box. You’d never see that sort of thing take off in Europe.
Do you think no one cooks or something?
Edit. Apparently cooking is bad if you’re American.
I don’t see show cooking oversugared toxins is gonna make them less toxic.
You live in a perfect world don’t you?

People voted for conservatives didn’t they?
Thus the “self-imposed”, although it’s not just about the current government.
I do think that about the USA actually, yes.
What magical country are you from?
“the rest of the world” / “Europe” / “Nordics”
Take your pick.

Your moms horrifying
I would agree, but she can still walk herself to where she needs to go. Can yours?
That’s the lamest response I’ve ever heard lol
You can do better. Try again
So that’s a “no my mom doesn’t walk anymore”?
Two thirds of adults. Obese.
That’s facts you can’t deny nor pretend like the US is just one among many and not worse-off than say, my country? ;D
You’re garbage.

Yes, grocery stores source food from local farms.
We don’t have animals made of corn sugar. You can dismount from your high horse.
Warming food in microwave isn’t cooking.
Oh, ok, so you’re just a smug self-important asshole. Got it.
