I really love this channel! (And I never comment on videos ever) But was excited you made a video about America. Usually you seem very thorough in understanding different cultures so it would have been nice if you talked to an American about this. Actually the average consumer at Costco is a 39 year old Asian woman with $125000 USD yearly salary. Not your average obese American. Obese Americans tend to not have access to fresh groceries, in what we call Food Deserts because of socio-economic-political reasons. This is a much more complex issue than just Americans wanting to eat unhealthily and not being able to control their diet.
Completely agree with this. I love your channel, but this video was really disappointing. I enjoy that you take the time to visit different parts of China and introduce the nuances of regional cuisines and cultures. Yet, here we're told there is a "standard American diet", and of course, it's the stereotypical super-sized junk food diet. I'm 1st generation Chinese American, and I frequently bounce between the US and China. Chinese grocery stores are also filled with processed junk food, this is very universal problem in this day and age. Much of the problem is socio-economic, as Hipposter mentions above. Regardless, there is no "standard" American diet or American person, just like there is no "standard" Chinese diet or Chinese person. Afu, I commend you for all of the educational content around diet and exercise, but I feel like you really missed the mark with this video.
Im not American but I understand ppl in American might get upset from watching this video... Im sure Thomas didn't mean to hurt anyone but he was being a bit ignorant. However I still think this is a good video as it has a good purpose.
I agree with you for the most part except for the part where you mentioned "39-year-old Asian woman" as if they were not Americans. That calls for you to be careful with what you say on a public platform and try to avoid unconsciously making discriminative comments.
Sam's club looks exactly same as Costco. I think you are talking about the poor Americans who eat junk all the time. If you go to the rich neighborhood, no one eats like that.
Yeah, most upper-middle class Americans tend to flock to organic and more natural sources of food instead of processed food because they can afford it most of the time (at least in my area). Most Americans have to resort to processed foods because it's obviously cheaper to maintain foods with preservatives and what not, but then it's also because most of this food is ready to eat straight out of the box. People tend to have 30+ min commutes to work, so driving and eating instead of waiting to get home is more optimised than potentially using up 30 minutes of your free time after work. It's pretty saddening.
@@ZenovaXD Most poor people eat terribly in America because they are lazy and cheap processed food is very satisfying. Also the increase in obesity makes a person think their obesity is normal because so many people around them are fat too.
Food access is a big contributor to the US obesity pandemic. In China, access to fresh fairly cheap food at small restaurants and street vendors is common. In the US, the quick cheap food is fast food and gas stations. Also, most people in the US drive everywhere instead of walking.
The sizes are pretty big, but this is not all Americans eating daily. I really like your video as you provide a unique view as a foreigner living in Shanghai, but now I really question your intention to do a video like this to please the Chinese internet population.
the daily calorie intake in 1961 was literally 800 cal above the number of calories a person uses up in a day. and then Americans decided it wasn't enough and added an extra 800 cals. great dedication to this video, loved it
很喜欢你这期的影片，内容非常新鲜＋informative ❤️🎉 关于自律健康100岁 vs 毫无顾及享受食物的70岁，在于本身开心吗，如果胖到150-200kg，但是身体带来的疾病/痛苦/生活不便，如果健康的100岁但是每逢朋友亲人邀约庆祝大餐美食同时间自己却坚持健康食物无法跟大家一起享受久而久之朋友/亲人少邀约了，活到100岁又开心吗。
I usually enjoy your content because you are very respectful and positive about the food and home culture it comes from. I found this video to be tasteless and quite offensive. First, not all Americans eat like this and it was very crass of you to assume that they all do. Second of all, you lacked research into why some people eat like this. It's not because it's a choice it's because of poverty and lack of choices in the U.S, especially in certain parts of the country. Third, you talk like you're a health expert when just 1-2 years ago you were overweight yourself. Were those choices you were making for yourself also because of conscious unwise decisions that need to be brought down by negativity or were you just experiencing a lack of choices around you?
I agree with you, I never comment on any video and always have a positive mindset for online creators, but this is just ignorant. I’m a chef, married to an American and before Covid, we had lived in China for 8 years. It’s true, Most Americans have access to all the indulgent foods whether it be junk food or expensive delicacies. Unfortunately this video just buys into the Chinese’s stereotype of Americans, a very uneducated and belligerent mindset.
You Yankees got it all wrong. He did this video simply because what your country has done to Europe and his country Germany made him sick. Purely ranting if not loathing.
@@jesseh8412 I don't know why you're talking about Europe. This video is about Thomas living in China and making fun of the American diet. But please continue to enjoy your tour of the galaxy because this conversation is going to stop here. Have a good life. Cheers.
Hallo Thomas, I watch your videos from time to time and enjoy them. Having lived in Germany for over a decade and being married to a German I can relate to your approaches and see that peculiar sense of humor sometimes :),, on this video however, there is too much generalization & stereotyping of entire population. America has people from different backgrounds whose culinary heritage is also diverse which I enjoy so much. You can have Mexican food for breakfast, Italian pasta for lunch and say like Japanese for dinner. It is a fact that there are so many people who are overweight and so many deal with consequences stemming from overweight. I personally don’t buy any from your shopping cart and neither do the ones I know around me. Overweight issue is not one dimensional solely blaming 3 ingredients. Compared to your other videos, this one felt a little flat. Please keep up with your varied subjects 👍 , now I even turned my stubborn German husband to watch your videos sometimes :) Greetings from Virginia
I’m surprised that a formerly obese person would include this kind of non-consensual footage of obese people. I know they do it on TV but I think it’s unethical. These are real individuals with feelings and a right to dignity. You may say you included your former self too, but that’s your choice and you earn money that way. I’m sure you don’t mean to hurt anyone, but this ain’t right. Besides, as many pointed out, this is a complex problem and many Americans don’t have the opportunity to be healthy.
you're right about how many steps we have every day. The main reason is that we have cars to drive everywhere. Each day to have 3000 to 5000 steps is already very good. Also, we eat in the car mainly because of being stuck in the traffic. Drive-thru and having a quick bit is good enough for us.
I have serious issue with the content of your video this time. This is seriously one of your worst video to date. LIke seriously, where do you find some of the "American facts" that you keep referring to?
Why don't you talk about diet and lifestyle of a common German? I'm sure everyone is curious as to what a typical European/German eats and does to keep fit. Thanks Thomas.
Good idea but actually Thomas is not from a traditional German family(once said by himself in one of his video)so maybe this is why he doesn’t choose this theme😂

Hey Thomas hope everything is OK with you and your wife. I just saw some really horrific videos about the situation in Shanghai on Twitter. A corgi was bitten to death. People are starving. I was wondering if you could confirm on that? I don't want to get you in trouble or anything. But it would be very very important for people outside of China to know the truth.
Afu did your media company get acquired by The Global Times or something? Or is every influencer required to make a certain amount of Wolf Warrior content every year? Disappointing
How's life in Shanghai these days. I have seen some horrific videos from other media about people fighting for basic needs. Can you give us an update? Worry about yall who are living in Shanghai.
@清清体 Shame, isn't it? While he talks about American's eating habits, he can't post video about how disastrous in Shanghai these days. But I have high hope for Thomas, he will give us an update. He doesn't have to treat the Chinese government the same way he described how American eat junk food. Fingers crossed.
It's not the number so much that counts, but the quality of those years. If I live to 60 or 70, I want those years to be the best they can be - same as if I live to 100 or more! The reason to eat healthily and exercise isn't so much about weight or body image or whatever else, but it's about what makes you feel your best and happiest. The standard American diet is a recipe for systemic inflammation in the body that does you no good whatsoever. But I also agree - everything in moderation! And of course we don't want to be unhealthy, but there's issues with price, access, convenience, and culture that have intertwined and managed to make obesity an epidemic here.
Here’s my observation of a standard diet for an averaged Californian. A sugary drink with a burrito for breakfast; a combo meal from Chick-fil-A or In-N-Out for Lunch, and a takeout from a likable restaurant for dinner. It’s not that healthy, but it’s convenient and cheap compared to grocery shopping and cook up urself.
Still far from eating a jumbo size potato chips, a whole small pie of pizza, and burger and fries, as a standard daily diet ... Given typical working class doesn't eat as healthy as they should, but still far from what he's saying.
Who is the average Californian though? California is so diverse in every single metric -- average income from San Francisco vs. cities in the Central Valley can differ by 2x. California is also home to a few of the healthiest cities in the entire US: LA, San Diego, San Francisco, etc. On top of that, think about all of the racial diversity in California. So, who is the average California? This is to say, not everyone in California (or the US) is going to Wholefoods and getting exercise in 5x/week, but conversely, Californians (and Americans) aren't all eating fast food on a daily basis.
@@justicesaint7817My guess is the typical image of a “American diet” is still attached to the stereotypical standard from early 90s. Things have changed tremendously but not so many people know abt it outside the United States.
You are always welcome to visit the San Francisco Bay Area, where almost everyone is on a diet and into fitness. We can show you around the new version of SAD diet.
I think u should check out Japanese food. They always eat fresh but small portion. That makes the difference. I think overeating is the problem for the US. Too much supersizing. German food also too big of a portion. I could never finish my plate when I was eating in Germany

作为生活在美国近十年的美籍华人 体重还是控制得不错的 疫情居家后心情郁闷就开始肆无忌惮地吃零食 最可怕的是吃零食是会上瘾的 1年内体重飙升了10磅 运动也减不下去 今年3月开始注意了一下饮食 偶尔吃零食也有控制的在吃 配合每周运动5-7天 体重才开始下降 吃绝对1比运动重要 当然为了健康还是需要科学地运动
是的, 零食和碳水是其中一個致肥原因
和一个美国医疗界的朋友刚好聊过这个问题，其实在美国肥胖和贫穷是息息相关的。很多人并不是不知道要吃的健康，是因为他的钱袋不允许。在美国，新鲜蔬果，海鲜，肉，尤其是天然食品，或者像阿福说的one single ingredient是很贵的，相反，糖果，巧克力，膨化食品和精加工食品却很便宜。
美国很多grocery的菜肉真心不贵，而且经常有力度很大打折，农产品也不需要交税。自己做饭不会比吃垃圾食品贵，但要额外付出很多时间精力倒是真的。再多说句找打的话，快餐店也可以点得相对健康。麦当劳的汉堡🍔其实没那么不健康，而且你还可以加几毛钱多加蔬菜，真正不健康的是大杯含糖汽水和炸薯条。把汽水换成无糖的茶或免费的水，把炸薯条换成苹果，不会长胖。但人类刻在DNA中对糖对炸物的渴望很难改。
可是美国超市的青菜也没有很贵。
对的。感觉他们对均衡饮食的概念很低，最多算算卡路里。而且有些低收入人群需要做两三份工，这种情况下根本没时间自己做饭，更没时间去锻炼了。我还有朋友跟我说他学校午餐摸了番茄酱就算有蔬菜了。真是不好好吃饭从娃娃抓起…
肥胖歌贫穷息息相关。。。朝鲜表示不是很认可
@@cccczhou3352 限定词是在美国，没有说在其他地方。
阿福你好，有机会的话想你聊聊日本食物，在很多人眼里日本料理都是比较中高端和健康的。但我渐渐发现其实很多日本食物看似健康，其实也是高糖高油脂高热量的，包括寿司天福罗章鱼烧和各种渍物，相对而言纳豆很健康但是不是所有人能接受，本意不是想诋毁日本料理，只是想探讨一下不同国家的饮食文化
但是日式不健康的料理方式也是量极少 极少 那点量 不会胖 但我也不喜欢日餐哈哈哈哈哈
寿司天妇罗也不是天天吃。他们家庭料理还是真的很健康。油少，样式多。人家平均寿命全球最长还是有饮食因素的呢
@@yj-storyteller 这倒是的 身边日本女孩子虽然外面一起吃的时候也会炸鸡烤肉 但是自己在家吃的时候永远都是圆白菜 圆白菜 圆白菜。。。。
高盐。。和中国一样 中日韩是全世界胃癌发病率最高的三个国家 最大的原因就是高盐
@@zkkk4403 赞同，我前天买了一包那种 Tako wasabi 芥末章鱼，一看成分表，超高盐
以前去美國，電影院的爆米花就是一桶，可樂是一公升，便利商店賣的巧克力是一公斤包裝😂棉花糖也是超級大包，而且這些垃圾食品都比較便宜，學校餐廳是吃到飽，冰淇淋，薯格格等等超級好吃，我當時高中，一個月吃下來就胖了五公斤。
比較起來德國超市垃圾食品包裝大部分是小很多，感覺德國學校裡面餐廳提供的食物比美國的健康點，一個美國紀錄片，裡面訪問學校，他們把薯條當成蔬菜，所以就是薯條配上炸雞之類的肉，這樣就是一餐😂營養完全不夠，熱量倒是很高，德國的餐點，大部分還是會給沙拉，蔬菜等等，不過也是炸的，烤的菜比例多點，不像我們喜歡還水煮，清蒸，比較健康
薯仔是蔬菜，这点沒反驳。但美國白人当薯條或焗薯便是所需蔬菜，说"this is vegetable; otherwise, what is it?"。。。真無語。
真的是这样，我第一次去也吓到了！食物超大量，真的太容易长胖了。
同样品牌的同样产品美国版的比中国版的甜度更高咸度也更高，来美国第一次吃乐事原味薯片没咸死我！后来发现有减盐版的吃起来味道才跟国内咸度差不多。
薯条可以是蔬菜？！！？？！
@@anqixue6032 我看到的時候也覺得美國人的邏輯好奇怪，是美國人自己拍的紀錄片😂他們要改善學校的午餐，然後做了調查，不過小孩都喜歡薯條炸雞這種搭配
不是白砂糖，是果糖浆，白砂糖还好一点，果糖浆不能直接供能，直接存在肝里变脂肪。
誰話?
我很欣赏阿福在疫情中鼓励大家互帮互助的精神，在国内的朋友，疫情之前的生活都是很幸福的，现在有疫情管控，希望大家可以忍耐克服目前的困难，相信未来是美好的，中国加油！大家加油！
哈哈哈，看完惭愧，感觉自己不知不觉地在过美式生活，得注意运动了。
一起加油
我也一起加油✊🏼
完全赞同，个人有段时间压力山大直接长胖了30斤，是天天想吃啥吃啥但是身体难受啊。。。。现在基本瘦回来的感觉整个都复活了。

這也需要啟發??? 自己沒用而已，認清自己就行了
咱们直接按照一辈子行不
@@jeffyu3838 有你这么说话的？？

我觉得不用去纠结自律还是享受的问题，谁也不能肯定自己能活60岁还是100岁，这并不是自律或享受的生活方式能决定的，所以保持健康让自己开心就好。
來地球之前，每個人就決定自己在地球逗留的時間
阿福说得对，在饮食跟lifestyle上面美国是非常两极分化的。收入越高的上层人士越是注重健康生活，身材管理其实是一种自我能力的体现，健身的人也一个比一个卷。但是大多数美国人为了图方便跟便宜选择了过度加工食品。
有些时候健康与实际其实会成反比或者成为正比，往往在保持健康的同时都会过度摄入营养以及不锻炼
放縱開吃然後肥胖不是生活質量 是心理安慰。
但是帶點自侓運動，然後控制量的開吃，
保持身材 保持自信 才是質量
運動帶來的好處太多 身形健康皮膚睡眠等等
是的，自己可以掌控自己的体重这个事情可以带来很多的自信，这在精神层面已经是极大的享受了。
阿福的视频都认真思考人生的感觉，棒棒的

如果非要有一个标准来判定美国肥胖人群，那么就是收入水平。收入越低的人群，肥胖率越高。道理也特别简单：吃同等热量的蔬菜和垃圾食品，吃蔬菜的花费要比吃垃圾食品高好几倍，更不用说蔬菜还要烹饪，需要时间和精力以及做饭的炊具等等。所以美国很多节目都深度报道过美国肥胖的问题，最终得出的结论就是收入水平。
还有就是convenience。其实如果精打细算完全可以买到很便宜的新鲜蔬菜水果，但买各种垃圾食品真的太方便了，买了就吃，加上还有drive-thru，这不比自己买菜做饭要便捷好几倍。
抑或是对生活质量有要求，勤快，有自制力的人，不仅更愿意花精力运动注意健康，也更愿意花精力在自己的职业上? 归根到底，终究还是个人的素质和选择，同时决定了收入水平和健康?

America has people from different backgrounds whose culinary heritage is also diverse which I enjoy so much. You can have Mexican food for breakfast, Italian pasta for lunch and say like Japanese for dinner. It is a fact that there are so many people who are overweight and so many deal with consequences stemming from overweight. I personally don’t buy any from your shopping cart and neither do the ones I know around me. Overweight issue is not one dimensional solely blaming 3 ingredients. Compared to your other videos, this one felt a little flat. Please keep up with your varied subjects 👍 , now I even turned my stubborn German husband to watch your videos sometimes :) Greetings from Virginia
阿福,你那边隔離情況好吗？祝福上海,希望能遏止扩散,人民安好❤️
I’m surprised that a formerly obese person would include this kind of non-consensual footage of obese people. I know they do it on TV but I think it’s unethical. These are real individuals with feelings and a right to dignity. You may say you included your former self too, but that’s your choice and you earn money that way. I’m sure you don’t mean to hurt anyone, but this ain’t right. Besides, as many pointed out, this is a complex problem and many Americans don’t have the opportunity to be healthy.
想看一下一下这几天到五一你们吃什么～
How are things in ShangHai? Could you please give us a update?
其实所有的东西都可以吃啊，热量高的的就少吃点。我和老公去麦当劳两个人吃一份套餐，吃比萨的时候也是两个人吃一个，巧克力也是直掰一小块吃。而且学会慢慢吃，享受食物，就算很少量，也是比较满足了。
you're right about how many steps we have every day. The main reason is that we have cars to drive everywhere. Each day to have 3000 to 5000 steps is already very good. Also, we eat in the car mainly because of being stuck in the traffic. Drive-thru and having a quick bit is good enough for us.
这期视频立意太好了，长期的居家办公饮食vs身材绝对是曾经困扰我的问题。现在终于找到了平衡，结论基本跟阿福说的差不多，少油少糖，尽量吃简单处理的食材，低碳水，适度运动。每周也喝奶茶吃比萨但是就不用太担心胖起来
绝对不吃零食btw
阿福啊侬还有吃的吗？2022.4.8问候你
阿福好久没更新了，在上海还好吗？
我美国同事很容易减肥，只要控制含糖的食物，50磅对他们很简单。
還是要感謝阿福的毅力減肥成功，也讓我也有動力減肥成功 繼續保持健康生活下去
I have serious issue with the content of your video this time. This is seriously one of your worst video to date. LIke seriously, where do you find some of the "American facts" that you keep referring to?
阿福大家都在关心您，在上海还好吗？祝平安！
我个人挺好的，明天发个视频😊
能不能挑战一下在上海抢购食物
説説上海封城的實際狀況！Danke!
Why don't you talk about diet and lifestyle of a common German? I'm sure everyone is curious as to what a typical European/German eats and does to keep fit. Thanks Thomas.
as someone who lives here: a looot of bread and walking
Good idea but actually Thomas is not from a traditional German family(once said by himself in one of his video)so maybe this is why he doesn’t choose this theme😂

非常理性的减脂建议。有思想的阿福，很棒。
Hey Thomas hope everything is OK with you and your wife. I just saw some really horrific videos about the situation in Shanghai on Twitter. A corgi was bitten to death. People are starving. I was wondering if you could confirm on that? I don't want to get you in trouble or anything. But it would be very very important for people outside of China to know the truth.
Yes it is really important to let people outside to know what happened in Shanghai at this moment
Hi阿福,我從你1年前做IF的片子点進來,你的健康計劃看起來頗成功呀,替你开心呀,加油
美国甜品是甜到你怀疑人生😂 但是美国生活选择很多，全世界绿色健康食品哪里都能买到而且便宜，麦当劳基本是最底层的美国人吃的。好的健康的汉堡到处都是。阿福说反了，大部分美国人都还是很注重健康的，他们最大的问题是晚餐太大，甜品太甜
“麦当劳基本是最底层的美国人吃的”，“大部分美国人都还是很注重健康的”，这说明你不是底层的，所以你接触的人让你感觉都很注重健康。可惜事实是垃圾食品才是销量最好的食品，快餐店才是门店最多的餐厅……从收入结构和肥胖率就能看得出来，大部分人都是中下阶层的，不光美国，全世界都一样。
阿拉伯人的甜也是让人怀疑人生
你说的你自己信么……
论甜品的甜度美国人远输印度。好吃的汉堡不少，健康的汉堡不多。
好的健康的汉堡有但是卡路里还是大啊，汉堡的精髓是什么？？大肉饼，黄油煎的，芝士，培根，有的汉堡还会加炸过的土豆片，这些如果不是工业化的汉堡而是比较好的汉堡店做的也许很偶尔吃一次是健康的，抵不住美国人一周吃几吃啊。肥胖率高是有理由的
这个话题励志太好了。阿福肌肉越来越结实。我们在美国疫情在家上班后戒糖戒碳水，体重勉强不升了但不降
Afu did your media company get acquired by The Global Times or something?
Or is every influencer required to make a certain amount of Wolf Warrior content every year?
Disappointing
這應該不是哲學問題，而是對於口腹之慾的執著與長期存活的期望之間的矛盾競合。然而，這兩者之間並沒有必然的關係。
所以，與其糾結哪個選擇是最佳解，不如真實體會生活，了解自身矛盾的根源，豁達才是身心靈健康的根基。
阿福说得真对。我到德国也不知不觉就涨了10公斤，现在都不知道怎么减下去。其实就是想太多，但是没有行动起来
少吃点
沒關係！現在學阿福減得健康~~
两周了，减肥效果怎么样？
How's life in Shanghai these days. I have seen some horrific videos from other media about people fighting for basic needs. Can you give us an update? Worry about yall who are living in Shanghai.
@清清体 Shame, isn't it? While he talks about American's eating habits, he can't post video about how disastrous in Shanghai these days. But I have high hope for Thomas, he will give us an update. He doesn't have to treat the Chinese government the same way he described how American eat junk food. Fingers crossed.
這麼有趣的題目，阿福也想起，真是creative director
在美国的麦当劳，堂食的一般都是homeless，普通人几乎都是drive through开车点餐， 拿到餐点自然就在车里吃了。
@Zy W 一开始是，后来觉得太悲催了，就改成拿回家吃😅
@Zy W 只是不想闻到大麻味......
@Zy W 太臭了， 躲着走
在美國要買到我愛吃的菜非常貴！又少
我现在在加拿大，之前在美国时候可乐的小号是这边的medium， 薯条也是，哈哈
Hahahaha good job..... pigging out without the Wife lol
It's not the number so much that counts, but the quality of those years. If I live to 60 or 70, I want those years to be the best they can be - same as if I live to 100 or more! The reason to eat healthily and exercise isn't so much about weight or body image or whatever else, but it's about what makes you feel your best and happiest. The standard American diet is a recipe for systemic inflammation in the body that does you no good whatsoever. But I also agree - everything in moderation! And of course we don't want to be unhealthy, but there's issues with price, access, convenience, and culture that have intertwined and managed to make obesity an epidemic here.
特别喜欢阿福，每次分享的视频都很好看。
全上海人輕斷食很成功 中央厲害👍
可以試一下香港的:
早餐: WEEKDAY: 一份三明治或者一個面包+咖啡或奶茶 .又或者一個早餐快餐, WEEKEND: 一早去 飲早茶 吃點心. 或者不吃多睡一會.
午餐: WEEKDAY: 一份午餐或一個盒飯+一杯飲品，weekend: 約家人約親戚去叫菜吃飯
下午茶: WEEKDAY: 一個面包+飲品 或者 一個下午茶餐 或者沒有 . WEEKEND: 反而可能沒有, 或者和午餐合併, 看人的習慣, 有些女生就喜歡去逛街之後下什茶吃甜點.
晚餐: WEEKDAY: 一般多數是回家吃， 或者是買個套餐回家吃， 又或者是跟朋友去吃，WEEKEND: 就太多可能性，多數是大魚大肉的吧, 就算是回家吃也是比較豐盛的.
宵夜: WEEKDAY: 看個人習慣, 有吃即食面的, 也有叫外賣的, 也有不吃的....... WEEKEND: 反而比較少, 當然也要看情況和習慣.
香港的平民食肆一般大約：早餐06:30-11:30 午餐11:30-1430 下午茶14:30-17:00 晚餐17:00----------- 有些在21:00之後會便宜一點. 有些是會在下午17:00 才開, 專做晚餐和宵夜. 不過目前疫情關係, 下午18:00後沒有堂食, 多數做外賣.
Here’s my observation of a standard diet for an averaged Californian. A sugary drink with a burrito for breakfast; a combo meal from Chick-fil-A or In-N-Out for Lunch, and a takeout from a likable restaurant for dinner. It’s not that healthy, but it’s convenient and cheap compared to grocery shopping and cook up urself.
Still far from eating a jumbo size potato chips, a whole small pie of pizza, and burger and fries, as a standard daily diet ...
Given typical working class doesn't eat as healthy as they should, but still far from what he's saying.
Who is the average Californian though? California is so diverse in every single metric -- average income from San Francisco vs. cities in the Central Valley can differ by 2x. California is also home to a few of the healthiest cities in the entire US: LA, San Diego, San Francisco, etc. On top of that, think about all of the racial diversity in California. So, who is the average California?
This is to say, not everyone in California (or the US) is going to Wholefoods and getting exercise in 5x/week, but conversely, Californians (and Americans) aren't all eating fast food on a daily basis.
@@Plaguerizm fax. Wholefood is quite pricy for most of average incomers
@@justicesaint7817My guess is the typical image of a “American diet” is still attached to the stereotypical standard from early 90s. Things have changed tremendously but not so many people know abt it outside the United States.
very factual. Good experiment! Adore your spirit! )
You are always welcome to visit the San Francisco Bay Area, where almost everyone is on a diet and into fitness. We can show you around the new version of SAD diet.
The same as the rich suburbs in Perth. But does that neccessarilly mean it is a healthier diet and a healthier lifestyle? I doubt.
刚喝了加糖的咖啡和 bagel with cream cheese…😢 爸媽過來美國看我的時候都說我的體型跟美國人差不多了...😖😖 講真，我周圍的朋友非華人其實很注意飲食的，身材也很好。那些肥胖人非裔與拉丁裔居多。
我想看你對上海封城的看法與經歷。Ich möchte über deine Erfahrung während ShangHai lock down hören.
阿福在上海抗疫中嗎？中央要你們軽斷食
非常好，健康快樂的享受生活。
你在上海把中国人的物资吃饱饱了吗？组长是不是都上贡一样伺候你呀
其实这些年美国人的饮食也发生了很大变化。年轻人吃的越来越健康。更是以vegan为时尚。看看Costco卖得东西就知道有非常多的低脂，低热量和有机的食物选择。我儿子们从高中开始就不喝碳酸饮料了。也不吃高脂高热量高糖的食物。甚至碳水都很少吃了。而且也不愿意去中餐馆吃饭。不是不好吃，是觉得太油腻了，尤其是川菜。
我們在美國加州灣區生活和經營西方餐廳多年，其實大部分的美國人並非這樣的飲食習慣，我們這裡很多人都比較注重飲食健康和一些人只會購買有機的食物，像我們之前的客人來用餐他們都會先了解清楚三文魚是否野生的或者面包是否全麥的等等。當然了，也是有一些人飲食不太講究的
咋滴，Costco里那些非有机的玩意儿都是鬼吃掉的？这智商真的是无语……
哈哈，美国人20%的时间在车里吃饭我同意，我老公就是，百分之二十的时间在车里吃，一般都是吃In&Out的汉堡薯条可乐套餐。他也时不时饿了就吃些薯片，披萨麦片倒是比较少吃。
单身的我不知所措
I think u should check out Japanese food. They always eat fresh but small portion. That makes the difference. I think overeating is the problem for the US. Too much supersizing. German food also too big of a portion. I could never finish my plate when I was eating in Germany
阿福瘦太多了，现在简直就是肌肉男，变很帅，朱莉也变瘦变美了
