That I agree with............

There are tons of things wrong with the US......... just thought it was funny that the two things pointed out are probably at the bottom of the list of things that could have been chosen.

Often people praise a food place for "healthy portions" which is kind of ironic.

As with anything there are places the cater to fat overweight americans....... so they expect the huge portions...... and will eat them.

There are also places that are more realistic.
Being here longer helps you find them.

I just find it funny when people base their whole experience/opinion on maybe a short visit.
They visit one s**tty place and suddenly all places are s**tty.......its beyond bizarre.
Americans do exactly the same when going to the UK.

It takes living somewhere for many years to grasp what is going on in a balanced way......

And even now I am still finding out new things, new places to go and new experiences..........
