wicked can u at least put in some effort into trying not 2 turn every single thread a europe vs US thread. Europe also has huge food problems since the economic lobbying pressures are just as impressive as in the US since most companies depicted in this documentary are multinational.

Wicked - feel free to weigh in as many times as you want on any thread. ;)

I'll even lay out a careful argument that you are forced to respond to, ummmmm - US good, EU bad. :P

A cheese sandwich and Salami sandwich.
And for dessert I'm going to have a fair trade chocolate bar.
European size of course. The coffee and the sandwiches.

I think only americans can eat two US size sandwiches.

Heey im talking about food and the US vs Europe!

Very eye opening documentary, I saw this back a couple months ago. Certainly gives a very good explanation as to why it is more expensive to eat healthier.

Hummus, lettuce, tomato in Pita bread dipped in Olive Oil and Red Wine Vinegar and Wheat berry salad.
I have to eat healthy these days!

PS: I can no longer eat more than one typical american portion of food.

America made up for what it lacked in Quantity over Quality now that America is starting to get older like Euro countries Quality is starting to improve! Of course Europe is more like a Union between the hatfield and the Mc Coys than it is a Union like the United States. :P

PS number 2: For anyone that even remembers me I'll be transitioning to EU citizen from USA citizen. Thats right I'm moving to Europe, more specificly I'll be living in Cyprus!
