    Mate is a kind of leaf common in the south of the south America. I can say specially in Brazil (Paraná, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul), it's pretty common in these states. It's basically a tea made out of grass, or rather saying, it's wet grass with a metal noodle

    mate is a sort of tea from argentina, uruguay where it is most often drunk with hot water but in paraguay they have sort of the same thing but then with very cold water and some different herbs i think, they call it terere tho and it is actually really nice and refreshing especially with the amount of heat there

    As a US citizen I'd agree that we have a problem with the ingredients in food we have here
    Almost everything store bought has large amounts of sugar or salt in it (to help preserve it while being moved around I assume)
    And as you said most cities aren't pedestrian friendly, with most of the infrastructure being built around personal vehicles rather than public transport, walking or biking
    It also doesn't help how everything is generally spread out

      @@travisgessler6283 The stereotype comes from the fact that we were the first country in the world to decriminalize the use of cannabis in the 70’s. Lots of tourists came here to smoke. This doesn’t mean people in other places didn’t light up a joint. I would even argue that the use in other countries was higher, because when something is allowed, it looses its appeal. Friends from the US confirmed this when they visited us. They thought everybody here would smoke weed, but we’re surprised there were fewer than back home.
      Nowadays there are a lot more places that tolerate or even have legalized the use of weed so the stereotype might finally disappear.

    There's sidewalks everywhere in the cities, and most suburban areas. There are fat Americans, yes. And part of that is due to the ingredients in food: preservatives, genetic engineering, etc. But most of the people I know aren't fat. Probably plenty of stereotypes about the US. Like, I only know one person who owns a gun and he's in the military. My family doesn't own any.

But we also have fresh fruit and vegetables from every corner of the globe. People choose convenient food over good because we are always being told to hurry up and we are running out of time.

    Some are not stereotypes and therefore lies but generalizations. Some people do not define the entire population of a country. Which does not mean that some things do not happen. I don't know where the stereotypes given in this video come from, but I think they depend on the countries. We have our stereotypes or generalizations. I heard such a stereotype about my country that there are a lot of thieves in Poland. Well, thieves are everywhere. But when a cyclist visited every country on his bike (which is quite a feat) it was in poland that they stole the bike from him. But the exception never proves the rule. We Slavs drink a lot of alcohol but according to statistics Czechs drink more than Russians per citizen. We Poles are famous for good alcohol and many of us like to drink, but I just don't like alcohol so I don't drink it. The same with religion. According to some nonsense surveys we Poles are a very religious nation. Most of the nation professes Catholicism. Which is, of course, a lie. It's one thing to practice and another to say you believe. Although I am indifferent to it because for me the church and men in dresses are more associated with businessmen than humble servants of the lord and all the scandals associated with you know what. There's also a stereotype about the world's inept politicians. Certainly in some country there are politicians who improve the quality of life in the country, but in our country they are all crooks and thieves.
    I recommend watching some videos like "10 facts that are lies actually".
    -----------------
    Maybe I'll ask a question because a certain thing intrigues me. In our country there is such an opinion that "Poles are lazy in their own country but abroad they are some of the best workers". I wonder how much truth there is in this. You can always use a universal answer like "everything is an individual issue".
    -----------------
    Interesting fact. I saw a "dumbest question you've heard from a US person" type video and it was "is it true you have polar bears in Canada"? The question was considered "stupid Americans and their questions". Then I checked the data on that. And guess what?
    The largest number of polar bears live in Canada - about 17,000 individuals out of 25,000. And who is stupid now?
    --------------------
    I once heard a stereotype that Americans and British are fat. Well,
    Obesity is taking a bigger toll in the US than previously thought. In recent decades, it has contributed to the deaths of nearly 20% of white and black Americans between the ages of 40 and 85, according to a recent study published in the American Journal of Public Health. Until now, the belief among researchers was that the percentage was around 5%.
    Sometimes, instead of considering a stereotype as complete nonsense, it is worth considering where these stereotypes came from, and suddenly it may turn out that it is enough not to take them literally and rather they are directed at a part of society and then suddenly they become truth. Most Americans are retards and fat people. This is an obvious lie. But if you realize how many people die because of obesity and how poor the education system there is, then you start to see that some stereotypes are generalizations which doesn't mean there isn't a problem.
    ------------------------
    And such Japan has a high-level education system so there is a higher percentage of better educated people there. However, there are two sides to every coin. Because of this, more is required/expected of citizens and they are treated like machines. That's why people commit suicide when they are required to be the best and not everyone is like that. And an interesting reference to anime and manga will come now. This is why action anime in which the main character is a bit dumber than the rest of the characters (Naruto, Black Clover, Dragon Ball) are so popular and yet they are accepted by society as they are. There are idealized worlds created in which even a retard is able to succeed and through hard work can achieve what a genius can. Popular scheme. It's a popular motif for Japanese people to be able to validate themselves at least subconsciously. So if someone gets offended after hearing the stereotype "you guys are good at science and so it's a positive stereotype," we shouldn't be surprised if that's how someone reacts.
    -----------------------
    Because nothing is ever white or black. Life and every aspect of it is in shades of gray. Stereotypes, too.
    Forgive me for the spam. I wrote more words than in today's texts that are called "articles."
    And we Poles like to complain. I don't know if that's a stereotype or not. But we lost a lot during the war, then we barely survived the war, everyone separated from us after the war, June 4, 1989 - after more than four decades of living in a communist country, we finally regained our freedom only to be ruled by idiots in the parliament and to this day. That's why we whine so much because we've always had it uphill. In the sense of modern times.

      My trip to Seattle, usa: the nearest busstop was 30 minutes away, and there wasn't even sidewalks all the way to it. The lanes on the roads were huge, so crossing it felt dangerous. Once I finally got a little more away from the house zone, it was just huge markets with even bigger parking lots, and I never walked to them once cause it was an hour of walking on dangerous roads sometimes without sidewalks, and barely anything between my destinations.
      My current trip, in Sofia, Bulgaria: there's a bar less than a minute away from, and beautiful cultural sights only 10 minutes away. The sidewalks are everywhere, the road lanes aren't big, and feels safe to cross. There's a bus and train station not many minutes away th at can get me anywhere in the city.. Even the country. All I go there's cafes to stop at to get a refreshment, restaurants for food, cute shops with various wares, etc. It's beautiful to walk around, it's nice.
