Our food portion sizes are ginormous. True.

Everyone is fat. Not really true. When you see the mocking pictures of the "fat American" riding the motorized wheelchair with the Jesus bumper sticker, they're largely set in the South. The proportion of overweight people swings largely toward the southern states which are not coincidentally the poorer states, and inner cities... obesity isn't an overall American cultural thing, it has a lot to do with a lot of people not being able to afford a lifestyle that incorporates healthy food all the time.

The first time I saw an extra-large soda size in California, I couldn't believe it.

okay opening this I was going to say that I am sick of americans crying about how the rest of the world doesn't understaaaaaaaaaand but now i just want to say

i knew a girl from canada who spent a week here and went up a whole size

she was still skinny as fuck but yeah we got SHIT IN OUR FOOD and RIDICULOUS PORTION SIZES

Re: More USA

Cool anecdote, bro? But when you're traveling you're obviously not eating the same home-cooked meals. Do you know what food she ate?

If I went to Italy, gorged on Italian food in restaurants while touring around and gained five pounds in a week, do I get to blame Italy for it? Or is it me and my traveling habits?

Regardless, the point wasn't about individual weight gain. My point was that the "obesity epidemic" is in reality more due to poverty and food choices not being available and not Americans just being fat and lazy, which is what the stereotype is.

La Taqueria's good. But other than that, no, not that I've found. And I've looked hard.
