So i know what we all hear back in oz about the fat and fast food of America, and i’d like to report back on what i have found….

I begin with a little story to illustrate this.

Apart from spending half an hour in the lolly section, i did venture over to the rest of the food section to buy some “healthy food”. In general i noticed how many more options there are here for the same product which translates to many more options for different versions of crap… so many more lollies and chos, so many more chips, so many more packaged foods. Anyway, thats beside the point in my little story. I bought veggies, i bought a drak rye 12 grain loaf of bread and i bought a multi-fruit, multi-vitamin juice. Ok. And onl one choc bar, so i thought i was doing well. Went home, and made a sanga, and what do i find… the bread is sweet (ingerdients list literally go… flour, water, sugar…) and the juice tastes like lolly-water.

So why do we ask are people so overweight and unhealthy in the States? mmm, well, beacuse literally everything here has sugar…. nothing is a normal and healthy food option.
