I really don't understand it, and I'm an American myself. Americans don't know the basics of nutrition. They don't understand what Calories really are, how carbs, protein and fat make up Calories, how dangerous trans fat and high levels of sodium and saturated fats are, and how dangerous it is to eat high levels of heavily processed foods.
Why is this? Is it a lack of education? Complete apathy? Inability to resist temptation? Stubbornness? Who do we blame for this - the schools, the politicians, the corporations? It's just a complete disgrace and an embarrassment. You still have people regularly eating McDonald's double cheeseburgers with extra large fries and a milkshake, people buying STICK MARGARINE, people drinking milk and consuming other dairy products, actually thinking that they're doing their bones good, people using Kraft Mac and Cheese and Ritz crackers and white breads as their staple foods...
Just, why?
