A really thick milkshake that really needs to be eaten with a spoon, or fries. Used to come only in chocolate...now also in vanilla. Chocolate is much better.

Except I'm not. Haven't you ever had chocolate covered pretzels? It's that same chocolate and salty combo.

That's okay. More for me. You can just eat your ketchup chips.

I tried some of them once, agapetos, and I have to say they didn't do it at all for me!

I didn't much like the others, though they were better than I expected ~ I'm sure I tried them years back and didn't like them but maybe they've improved the processes involved. Beetroot is stll the best.

Unfortunately, most Americans are overweight. We have a terrible way of eating.

Well there goes one of my misconceptions. I've always heard that Europeans eat healthier meals and smaller portions than Americans and that they exercise more than we do.

The UK do not eat healthy as far as I have seen on the news and tv programmes like Jamie Oliver etc.
I think the french eat well and are slim. I think its that the US eats alot of take out, whereas the other countries just eat alot

That's an understatement!
When I was a kid, it was a treat to get to go to a fast food place. I think in our family, it happened once every two months or so. Now I know families that get their supper through drive-thrus several times a week. I'm quite guilty of going through a drive-thru whenever I'm running errands, etc.

Our nearest drive-thrus are at least 5 miles away. I don't know about other families but we probably have some kind of take-away meal once or twice a month, and that's usually fish and chips or kebabs.

When I think of 'thin' Europeans I think of the French. When I visited over there I didn't see a single overweight person...well at least, native person. My teacher/chaperone for the trip was overweight (and he was a Canadian!).
