As a European, the concept of 'MacDonalds breakfast' or breakfast from any fast food place is absolutely wild to me.
Agreed, its completely insane to have breakfast at mcdonalds
As a European, I love myself a McMuffin Bacon & Egg.
@@Sk1tz092you obvious haven’t had the tasty goodness of a McGriddle coupled with a caramel frappe. That burst of sugary explosion will set any person on a course to diabetes but boy does it taste soooo good
You've probably never experienced a McGriddle then.
McDonald's hashbrowns are legendary
He really said domino's would beat real Neapolitan pizza, truly an American moment right there.
He's not wrong, the entirety of American history is just doing what Europe does many times better.
@@Tomatowormprince😂
Keep telling yourself that.
@@Tomatowormprince Lmao, what for example?
And the thing is, Domino's wouldn't beat any half-decent pizza place in whole Europe 😂
Asmongold: "i guarantee domino's clears neapolitan pizzas"
Domino's LITERALLY FAILED in Italy. Couldn't keep a single place open because people didn't like their pizzas.
They failed in Norway too. They are still trying, but every single restaurant is heavily in debt and they are trying all possible angles to keep from shutting down the whole brand. Pizza Hut failed before, and the few McDonalds we still have over here, are no longer American. They are run by local people on a license. No American fastfood chains managed to establish themselves over here.
@@captain_context9991 i think all those chains are franchised, like there no way they are doing it by themselves
Only see very very few places in Germany too.
Its normal, people like the food they grew up with.
@@user-ji3mx6xx6k
Ofcourse they are franchised. But big american franchises have a way of operating in the US that rarely, if ever, works in Europe. Big fastfood chains survive and are a great industry in the US because they rely on an untrained, uneducated, unskilled staff that are willing to work on minimum wages with zero other prospects in life, no paid leave, no healthcare, no rights, no guaranteed pensions, no nothing.
And the new thing now is to re-arrange their shifts and hours so that they will never quite qualify to be called "full-time employed" so they will never qualify for those couple of benefits and perks they promised you when you took the job.
NONE of that works over in Europe where workers have rights regardless of what their employer likes to say and do about it. And people over here are used to better quality of food than Americans. 70% of American diet is salt, fat, palm-oil, and corn starch. Which is all borderline outlawed in the EU.
Which is why you dont see American products in stores over here either. And when you take the CHEAPNESS out of American fast food, well then what youre left with is pointless.
America only ever made sense because... Nothing was really that great, but at least it was cheap. Living was easy, and that American dream was at least visible on the horizon. Today none of that is true. So nothing American makes sense anymore.
Hearing asmongold go "did we really test bombs" had me shook as a german. We literally get to hear all of theese stories about the bikini atol and britains stories with nuclear weapon tests and now hearing an American not know about this huge part of their history really shocked me.
Lol stacks of dynamite. Go look up the Tsar Bomba and compare that to Fat Man (Hiroshima).
We are to believe the Soviets not only made the Tsar Bomba like 10 yrs or whatever after WW2 - we are also to believe they used fusion instead of fission etc.
@@fjorddenierbear4832I believe that they fucked up and made it too big, yeah. Incompetence isn't hard to come by.
Cmon, he didn't know the backstory of Spongebob and Bikini Bottom? lol I hated that show and I knew what it was "based" on. The US committed horrific crimes against the native peoples and their lands.
@@fjorddenierbear4832 That was a hydrogen bomb. Different animal, much fiercer.
Except this video is so wrong , and the bombs had basically 0 radioactive effects because the ocean is so large it absorbs it all ? But no the DEMN BOMBS BLEW UP THE FISH
Subway was in a legal battle in Ireland because their bread can't be classed as bread here because it has too much sugar in it.
In Finland it's classified as packaging cushioning material
If I'm not mistaken, Subway's bread is considered as cake due to its level of sugar.
Don't worry, the meat can't be classified as meat...or was that the tuna...or was that taco bell...I kinda just stick to chicken these days.
@@DaKdawg for subway it was the chicken, its something like 50% chicken, 50% soy.
The age of fast food as "affordable" is long gone. Even by today's fast food standards, fast food of the 80s-90s was somehow more nutritious than than compared to now.
There's no real reason to buy it anymore except for convenience, but we should all be aware the health detriments we receive from its consumption. Not only is it low density nutrition for its nutrition/calorie ratio, but its also packed full of preservatives and stabilizers nowadays.
Time to get a-cookin.
@@Damaxyz Correct. They lost the case so it's in the cake VAT category.
I love how Asmon looked up the most obese countries in the world only to have that list be a major payoff later in the video.
'Murica didn't want to be the most obese country in the world, so instead of making a useless attempt to get their own people to live healthier, they just made sure that other countries got even fatter.
Next up he'll learn about American imperialism and how capitalism really is harmless 🙃
The bomb testing had nothing to do with the obesity issue in the Pacific islands though and a 2 minute Google search will tell you Europeans are just as responsible for their obesity as Americans are.
@@AngelsLance the US is built by european rejects so it's all europeans fault really. Ok maybe not built by, that was the chinese. But "settled" by europeans
The only people who were capable of colonizing these islands, by traveling long distances over open water on canoes and surviving on the islands where calories were hard to come by, had an exceptionally low metabolism. What was a useful evolutionary adaptation then sort of backfired when McDonald's set up shop, got nothing to do with nuclear bombs.
So Usa is top 10 only because they made the top 9, otherwise they'd be top 1 ? Yeah that about sums it up
And say shit Like "wE aReNT MOsT oBeSE" while munching on burger

Those are optional tho

As an Aussie most people here know about the weapons and nuke testing over there. They tested nukes here in Australia too.
Also, if the USA _didn't_ know about how damaging nukes were, then WHY would they test them halfway across the world, instead of in their own waters?
Well we did test em on our own country. There's towns in middle America that have been genetically affected by the tests back then who now have like a 30 to 40% higher chance of cancer because of it. That's not me saying nukes we're better set off in the land of Aus. Nuke testing on any place was a stupid idea.
Really well said
There are, then, way much more nuclear testing that Im sure you cant imagine ... it did happen ... The US didnt just do some Testing but did a lot of experiment as wild as trying to boost crops with the fallout radiation ... on there land near and far from other city or villages .... they did expose so much more people than you think The chain of event/The History Of the US and the nuclear testing or making bomb for wars is actually sooo interesting .... so much was going on
We knew they were explosive.
We didnt know about ionizing radition effects.
We also didnt know that ionizing radiotion effects break DNA as we didnt even really understand DNA.
What you're doing is trying to go down the route of the smallpox blankets before germ theory existed and microscopes were even standardized and in wide use.
To put it into perspective doctors used to do cadaver inspections and studies and then go deliver babies and give pelvic exams, and then wonder why newborns were being delivered stillborn and pregnat women were dying of gangrene and sepsis.

Here in the nordic regions of Europe, Dominos got shut down for health infringements in the way they stored their foods and the amount of salt/sugar that was in their ingredients. They then reopened a few months later with a new plan and get shut down by the health department again for the same reason after a few months. We haven't had a dominos here since.
I'm pretty sure here in Europe we have a stricter standard on the sugar level food is allowed to contain, and it's ALOT less than the average USA same verion of the product. So our soda's have less sugar in them, our cereal does too and so on. Still not healthy to eat on a regular basis but then again too much of anything is bad for you.
Many additives are prohibited unless proven safe in the EU. Unfortunately the FDA requires you to prove something is unsafe before it's prohibited to be put into food.

As a brit, we really shouldn't get on our high horse about other people's food culture, we are basically the US of Europe. Our diet especially in lower income areas is really bad, not as bad as the US obviously, but still really bad.
At least your baked beans arent pumped with sugar like murica.
I wondered why rheh hated baked beans so much until I tried a tin of Bushes beans.
Literally double the sugar of heinz
don't forget about the NHS being seen as a joke of a public healthcare system:D
Finally! I respect you for saying this. We Americans are definitely fat as a whole but I’ve gone to Scotland once a year to visit in-laws and there are plenty of fat people there too. The UK is always the first to call out the US but they’re slowly catching up!
This is the first time I have ever seen a European take a humble stance about the America bashing. Thank you. I really appreciate it.
I heard in recent years Brits have been going through their own obesity crisis due to the rise of convenience of Uber eats and other services.
In France it's pretty rare to run into someone that is obese, sure there are some fat people (usualy beer/wine belly) but never to the point where they can't even walk like you see in walmart
It's happening more and more with the younger generation😢!
Baguette
Same in Norway. It's not rare to see chubby people, but actual big fat obese - "American style" people (the stereotype) I have only started seeing in recent years, but even then it's relatively rare.
An american guy came over to Sweden and wanted to buy me lunch at McDonalds, but I kindly declined. He said I needed the vitamins...
Yeah, vitamins = cholesterol for them.
💪🍔
You gay or what
Rude, you passed up on a free meal.
Hey they used to have salads at one point 😂
I was visiting family in Wisconsin, I'm not American, and the amount of times I was called too thin was ridiculous...I'm 5'9" and 71 kg (~156 lbs) Perfectly healthy. And the looks I got when I politely refused fast food or packaged pastries (the ones from the store and not a bakery). Like I love meat but I also love my veggies. Salads were almost always a caesar (which is just fat) and my body would just crave vegetables and fruit. It’s really a shame, because food is amazing and delicious and good for you when done right.
I feel you on that. Once you have a habit of eating vegetables and teaching your body to have some you start craving it and feeling unwell when you don't eat enough/any...or even after you eat a meal that you know and feel is greasy.
Being stuck craving veggies must have been horrible.
Actual fucking aliens right here
It seems like you're still stuck in the 70's with the "fat = bad" mindset. Science has come a long way since then.
@charlesbrown4483 When did I say fat?
I mentioned my weight, packaged foods, and the need for veggies. I couldn't care less what your weight is, you still need a proper meal with all the food groups. It's about nutrition, and America is making it harder to access such nutrition.
Also, the 70s were a couple of decades before I was even born, so I have no idea what their mindset was.
@@stavv222 ...Fat as in the macro nutrient, not an overweight person.

As an Europoor I can tell you, my gf cooks. And she cooks well because her mother thought her and so on. So we eat so much cooked and mostly different cooked meals every day that we occasionally would have a fast food night where we order KFC or some sort of burger. My diet always contains a mix of meat and seasonal vegetables. We also eat fish. But what Asmon is mostly right about ... eat less = less fat.
Thank God for patriarchy
I think the two biggest things is sugar in everything and not walking. North America is build for cars. I live in Canada now, and I walk so much less in daily life than when going back home to Germany to visit family. I easily cycle 10k every day and walk 2-5k. When traveling the walking is usually 8-25k.
@@thorwaldjohanson2526yup that’s the biggest thing. It’s not like most Europeans watch their calories and shit all day they live overall more active lives but our foods are also less processed etc
@@suggondees4882 100% correct. So simple yet so hard to fix. Poor Amerifats :(
I order quite often. But I order from restaurants that make actually decent food, not just McD 100% of the time. That's like once a month.
"Where's the pepperoni"
Me: *cringes in Napolitano (Italian)*
while nuclear testing did have deleterious effects on the Pacific Islands, directly connecting it to current obesity rates due to a loss of fish involves making several leaps that may not be supported by comprehensive evidence. The situation is more complex and involves a blend of historical, environmental, economic, and cultural factors.
While it may not be directly connected, testing nukes in foreign countries while selling them burgers goes together like a big American bowl of mac and cheese.
This feels AI generated
@@crusaderonabike8164prolly is based off the fact it never said an opinion just said the situation is tough
The American colonial cuisine lore is actually a study that also involve the UK in which "native" populations that got exposed to western food developed the same issues as most western countries after ONE generation, it's all about bone formation and lack of oily vitamins.
It's not magic, it's called getting obese on carbs by filling up on meats. Eat a steak, don't need no study for the obvdious. Carbs are suppose to be the garnish, not the main meal.
Like sugar, processed food and the sudden addiction to them. Oh and comparatively softer food to their usual diet.
It there a link to(or name of) this study. I feel like it's probably a bit cherrypicked
Yeah, in America I live off of soda. Real food is so expensive.
@@FuckGoogle502 America has some of the lowest food costs on Earth…
That country called Nauru that tops the obesity chart has a wild wild story! It's a small independent island that got extremely wealthy and destroyed their island through phosphate mining. Per capita each resident was slightly below a Saudi oil prince in wealth, but they squandered it all and their tiny island is litered with expensive car wrecks. Now they can't grow crops on their island and have to rely on super processed foods that they import. Now their income comes from imprisoning refuges for Australia and their next moneymaking hustle is to let a foreign company stripmine their surrounding ocean..
There is also a circular road on the island and some people there do nothing but drive in circles all day.

He failed to acknowledge that the UK and France also tested nukes around those islands. France tested around 50 and UK tested around 20. USA still won competition with around 250

@@kesatoria7176 yes it is. Alot of areas surrounding the Algerian dessert are still greatly affected today because radiation doesn't just stay in one place.
I visited America, once. And I can confirm that your food simply tastes different from one in Europe. And not in a way I liked. The biggest difference was definitely that a lot of things tasted sweeter, even basic stuff like bread. I went to eat scrambled eggs with some kind of toasts, and both the bread and the eggs tasted slightly sweet, it was weird. Other things tasted really overpowering, like there was too much seasoning on it and I could barely taste the actual ingredients. I ate some ribs the same day and while I liked them, I could barely taste the ribs themselves, it was all sweet and smoky glaze and the rub. Even the ice cream I got from some place on the street was almost twice as sweet as the stuff I normally would get during summer where I live.
It's no wonder so many Americans think food from Europe tastes bland. Your tastebuds are completely ruined and oversaturated by the kind of food you eat. When I make myself a traditional Neapolitan style pizza, I can taste each of the ingredients I used and appreciate how great they are, there is barely any need for additional seasoning (pinch of salt in the tomato sauce and leaves of basic for a finishing touch). Meanwhile, pizza in America was like being punched in the face from all sides with saltiness, sweetness, fattiness, everything. Don't get me wrong, it tasted good, but it's like when you eat a dessert that is so sweet after a while you just can't take another bite or you'll be sick. That's almost how this felt. And if you eat food like this all the time? Yeah, when you get something people from across the ocean consider "normal", like a simple "Cacio e pepe" pasta for example, you can't even taste it properly and appreciate it. I genuinely feel sorry for you!
im from Belgium and i remember being addicted to cheerios as a child , but at one point it stopped apearing in the stores, as a grown up ive been searching for it for a long time , i finaly found it in porugal but it wasnt the same , than it came back in Belgian stores but it was so bland .. than i looked up that at one point european guide lines changed wich made tons of products illegal in Europe that came from the states , so all those companies either changed the ingredients for europe or stopped selling in europe , its definetly true that a lot of extra sweetners are added in their product especialy cerael products
Tell me you're Italian without telling me you're Italian
That said, you're 100% right
i remember my father bought some spam with "25% less sodium". Eating it feels like eating processed food filled with as much salt as possible. it was so salty that i can only ate like 30grams per meal
Well said! Cacio e pepe mentioned, one of the best and simple pasta out there.
I agree
The meme that matters is: "America eats like it has Universal healthcare. and Europe eats like it has American Healthcare".
Oh-
But there might actually be something to that. Countries that have universal health care have an incentive for their people to be healthy and use the healthcare less. So the country has an incentive to not promote sugary foods and so on. In the us the healthcaee industry gets more money if people use it more often, therefore they have an incentive to keep people sicker.
@@doraspoljar697Nah,obama with his rework of healthcare caused the 3000% price hike, people defend him.and shit on trump to this day saying he didn't fix insurance, when by 2008, or more specifically by 2011, we were ABSOLUTELY fucked.

And yes, totally agree with Asmon there on around 12:00, the argument where someone said "Poor people can only afford bad food, that's why they are obese".
I don't know just how it is over in the US (I'm from Europe), but here, getting fast food or something like that is not cheap.
By far the cheapest option is to use a lot of stuff like rice, potatos, noodles (as in, not some instant food, but just raw pasta that you need to actually cook) and yes, indeed cook it yourself.
Obviously, I'm not saying that anyone should only eat that and nothing else, or that it's needed to always cook your own meals every time you eat, but anyone can save a LOT of money by regularly home-cooking like that, and the food will most likely be more on the healthy side as a plus point, too.
Unless you have some way of outright receiving food for free, cooking your food yourself is literally the cheapest option. I would even make the point that cooking yourself can often be significantly faster than getting food from elsewhere - depending on the meal, of course. If you order food over here, it basically always takes at least I'd say 30 minutes to arrive. If you traveled for, let's say, just 10 minutes to a place, with waiting to order, waiting to get the food, travelling back, you probably end up with more than 30 minutes, too. In that time, I can definitely whip up a (simple) home-cooked dish for myself, and I'm neither a trained chef nor do I really have all that much experience with cooking (I moved out a couple of years ago and cook for myself maybe 2, 3 times a week, usually portions that will last me for 3 meals or so though).
Home cooking is just soooooooooo underrated. Especially in these times with inflation bending us all over HARD, the money-saving aspect is probably the most enticing part. (I personally also find cooking enjoyable; I really like it, but of course yeah, that will vary from person to person)
Yep, maybe its changed recently but the fast food is cheap thing is BS. If you want a burger and chips from a decent takeaway (not mcdonalds, i mean actual edible food) its gonna cost you atleast £8, possibly more. You could buy one of those huge sacs of rice and buy a pack of meat and some veggies and although the rice would set you back initially. A pack of decent quality meat is maybe £3? get some veggies for a few quid to last a couple days and already youve almost fed yourself two meals for the same price as the fast food. Not to mention its infinitely healthier.
I have a friend who id estimate spends more than half of his wages on takeaway food/delivery fees because he CBA to cook. Yet i cant eat takeaway food anymore because for the rest of the evening i feel dehydrated from the salt and a bit sick from the fat. If you cut it out then try going back to it youll see how your body rejects it

Same for me except I make my own food at least 5 times a week and maybe on weekends i get some takeout.
@@Jebu911 Do you cook up donuts and cookies?

Had i been born in USA i would be so much fatter.
My physical job is the only thing keeping me alive I eat like complete shit
I've been at a physical job for 10 years and I ended up gaining about 60 lbs! I think a lot of the fat came from being mentally and physically drained working 50 plus hours a week for so many years. I'm a lot stronger now but also fat. I recently went part time because of stress/depression/weight and lost 20lbs and my blood pressure went from 176 to 130.

Piggies to the trough
@@games68775 Shitty comparison as pigs are actually very smart.
@@JiminyCricketsoften more clean too
@@JiminyCricketsNo they're not. They've been domesticated to be more passive and fatter as livestock for a reason. Only good pigs are boars.
The problem is the portions and how often people eat, Im from the EU. I eat twice per day sometimes one time per day. I do snack a lot mostly cookies, about 1 bag of chips per week. And im 70-75 kg while being 185 cm tall. But the biggest difference im seeing when people buy a pizza or a meal in America they literally get double the amount of food than we do in Europe. Our pizza's are at least 3 times smaller, our burgers are half times smaller. When you get nuggets are the mcdonalds you pay an absurd amount of money for even a small portion of 6 chicken nuggets. Food in America is super cheap when you look at the amount you get, i would be eating pizza every day if i lived in America and of course i would be obese too if there was so much cheap food available.
I was in the US in November (San Francisco Area) and when I visited the first Walmart to buy some food I was surprised how big the Portions were. Here in Germany, we have 0,75l, 1 Litre, and sometimes 1,5l and very rare 2l Bottles. In the Walmart, the smallest Coke bottle I found was 2l-. Also, for some reason normal sparkling water costs nearly as much as a coke. Here in Germany, it costs nearly half or a third of a Coke or sugar lemonade. I can just give you a advice: Travel to a European country like Germany and move through the Cities for one or two weeks. The only thing, that is maybe a bit weird besides our language is that people wait at pedestrian traffic lights until it's green, even if nothing is happening on the street.

If your country uses euros, then 20-25 is 100% not enough for a week unless you consider bread and water proper food, and if your country doesn't use euros then the menu isn't 20-25 euros.

I'm an American, on food stamps, and I manage to budget for vegetables, fruit, and meat. I rarely eat fast food. Cooking full meals and then saving the rest as leftovers for the rest of the week is much more affordable than going out to eat.
Edit: I forgot to add that I don't eat breakfast or bread items much. It's just not my thing.
Breakfast is an important part. But forget about cereal, I recommend oatmeal or semolina. Semolina needs to be cooked (it’s best with milk, but you can also use water, but the taste will be a little worse), oatmeal just needs to be poured with boiling water and given time, then add milk.
But both options allow for a large variation in doping: raisins, fruits, nuts, sugar, honey, jam, you can even add coffee or cocoa, feel free to experiment.
Oatmeal, unlike cereal, is full of slow carbohydrates (or carbohydrates, I don’t remember), the point is that it gradually gives you energy that lasts you throughout the day. Sugar immediately gives you this energy that will quickly run out.
@@Kagezava It's not true that everyone has to eat breakfast! If you suffer from loss of appetite in the morning, like me, then you simply don't eat breakfast in the morning if you don't want to be sick all day. These are just conventions - eating three meals a day and at a set time that doesn't suit you. Everyone should eat according to their own rhythm. I eat twice a day. And the first meal is about 4 hours after waking up. Then the next meal is in the afternoon at about 5 o'clock. It suits me. I'm not sick afterwards and I'm definitely not obese. Problems with food are also caused by the fact that children and usually adults force themselves to eat even when they are not hungry and at a time when it does not suit them.
@@cela-ho2hy If you don't eat breakfast you will have less energy during the day.
Slow carbohydrates are gradually absorbed giving you energy.

Growing up we ate very little sweets. I remember we used to share a bar of chocholate between us after meals (we were four in the family) And somethimes that was the only artificial sweets we ate all day.
Also, we have never been allowed to eat sweets in the morning (so no things like cereal, jam, or orange juice). When we visited my cousins in Texas, we had to drive around, and find a German bakery, because American bread was so sweet we literally couldn't eat it.
@@dagerry There was actually a German bakery in the vicinity where my cousins live in Texas (Huston).

I am considered overweight by BMI but I am also a very fit bodybuilder with a six pack. There is one of me for every like, 50 unhealthy overweight/obese people. The people coping about "but bodybuilders are considered obese and are included in the statistic" are coping so hard because while this is true, the statistic is still useful because bodybuilders are so rare in comparison to a wheelchair bound obese person. It legitimately makes me mad when I see this point being brought up because it is so moot.
same here. i am cosidered overweight by BMI as well.

It's so much cheaper to buy fresh food and cook it yourself.
Also, being in Europe for the year has shown me how much better their food products are than ours. The quality is so much better overall.
I watched several price comparison video between the US and Britain aswell as Germany and it seems that fresh non produced food in the US is horrendously more expensive in the US.
Especially everyday products like vegetables for example bell-peppers & potatoes are double the price and Milk & eggs & meat are even 3 times (sometimes even 4 times) higher than the regular price in both European countries even bevor the recession hitting worldwide (groceries in Germany are generally cheaper as in Great Britain)
On the other side the cost for fast food in Europe is way more expensive than in the US.
So i wouldn’t say that its „much cheaper to buy fresh food and cook it yourself“ in the US
even american fast food is better in europe
The prices are almost comparable where I am, I can warm up pre cooked ribs, have veggies and rice for about $20, that will cover my dinner and lunch for the next day. If the ribs aren’t on sale I will end up paying $17 per rack, in total with the food on sale I will be paying around $17 per meal. You can get a Double Big Mac Meal for $13 so I can see why some people might opt in for the cheaper option.
Vast majority of people in the us live where they can’t grow their own food, and fresh produce is 1.5x more expensive
@@VortekXtiikDamn that's sooooo expensive. I cook and eat for less than 5€ per meal, McDonald's has become pricey and is around what you say, 11€ so it's not even a contest. Cooking is by far the cheapest option in France, I couldn't survive with 20€ a meal, that's like ordering uber each time.
I live in Russia. Despite our salaries being similar to those in Serbia, our prices on everything are mostly European or American.
Considering this, I somehow do well exactly on $300 monthly food budget for a family of three, and everyone's quite happy for my choice of ingredients and how I cook.
If you order readily available food which only needs a microwave though, this could easily go up to a $1000 though.

@@youtubeenjoyer1743 it's called vegetables
I really dislike this upper middle class idea of "Cheap food = junk food." Someone making that point is only revealing that they have never bothered to actually check what's cheap and what's not. If one eats a lot of seasonal vegetables and produce and buys rice/potatoes in bulk for easy calories and sticks to cheaper meats/eggs for protein, you can eat more healthily than 80% of the population does. Non-processed, low-sugar, vegetable heavy diet costs very little. It's just a bit more effort to cook them.

Counter argument: next time don’t over tax us

It doesn't even take prep though. You mean to tell me they can't boil some cheap, store brand, frozen vegetables in another pan while they are already boiling water for their Kraft mac and cheese? I mean, that isn't the healthiest meal in the world but it isn't the straight crap that it would be if you only ate the mac and cheese. The same is true with ramen, toss some frozen vegetables in the pot with it, and now it's at least semi-healthy. Hot dogs with a side of vegetables isn't hard either.
As someone who was raised on Guam the fish are alive, well, and numerous. There's a fishing presence around the island, most notably the fishing spot in Hagatna, near the baseball stadium.

If you want facts about food then you should be avoiding anything the FDA tries to dish out.
@@bullettime1116 yes, really. just deny the facts i guess

As a Dane visiting America i had a hard time finding food i liked, as everything was so overly sweet, fatty or both. I was a fatboi at that time, and still i found it disgusting. I had to shop in specific stores to get i.e. soda with sugar rather than corn syrup. I remember the first time i had subway over there, i asked for a new one as i thought the bread had gone bad and was sweet tasting, nope just cake for bread in the US.
My bad man we'll bust out the piss shark for you guys next time. 😊

I'll take things that never happened for $500.
@@KirilDimitrov86 So visiting the US and buying a subway sandwich is something that you consider unlikely to have happened?
@@KirilDimitrov86nah man that sounds perfectly plausible
He makes a VERY salient point around @12:00 about making your own food at home. I've heard through the grapevine that you, as the chef, can't add as much salt to your own meal as some preserved/packaged foods add. I'm going to assume by that they mean however much you add to still make it palateable, i imagine all of us can pour a pound of salt onto a plate and attempt to eat it, but i'd hope no one would ever attempt that.
I agree whole heartedly! However, it may not be a simple choice for some. Ever hear of a "food desert"? Imagine the only source of food for literal miles are fast food chains and gas stations with the nearest place selling anything resembling a raw ingredient being practically the next town over. And even then the amount of produce you can afford for the same amount of precious calories found in junk food is not worth your next paycheck, reinforced with aggressive marketing from those same junk food corporations to keep you and your kids consuming their products from an early age. I've met a guy whose never even seen an unprocessed peach before. It's a sad reality for many low-income/marginalized populations that was deliberately designed to deprive "them undesirables" of basic nutrition.
@@jackyichan4759 Obese people can't afford to eat healthy because they won't be able to buy the same amount of "precious calories" is a mind boggling point to make.
100% agree with the Cereal points. Almost the entire cereals aisle of all stores are nothing more than high fructose corn syrups and food dies even before you take away the cereals with marshmallows or crystallized sugar layers.
Being able to cook is soo liberating. I guess that was the reason i whent to a Tourism (aka culinary) school. I can cook everything and its so awesome. everyone go to cooking class
At the end of the day it's portion control. Not everything makes you feel full and not everything sticks with you as long. That being said, it's also okay to feel a bit hungry. Just bc youre not bloated 24/7 doesn't mean you're hungry either. Plus a lot of people eat out of boredom and don't realize it. I think portion size, frequency of eating meals, and snacking are the biggest contributors to weight gain.
I've noticed years ago that sometimes if I felt hungry, simply drinking water helped.
This is true but not the full picture. One example is how processed foods are typically very low in fiber (fiber is processed out). Fiber helps you feel full for longer, and greatly helps with digestion. Hamburgers, pizzas, meat, and typical American bread is very low in fiber. Eat these and you feel hungrier with the same caloric intake as something that has more fiber.
@@eds7343at work i was hungry all day till lunch, after it i was still hungry. im trying to eat less but damn its hard when youve been hungry for 8 hours straight
also, im still hungry
Portion control. And a good diet. And being active.
@iminyourwalls8309 this is also true, but eating a steak with some vegetables will be even more filling than just eating meat. I was focusing on processed foods, although I should have also said processed meats* instead of just meat in general
