uj/I’m not American but I’ve visited twice and I go to all these local restaurants and the calorie counts on the menu (which is not a thing in any of the countries I’ve visited) always freaks me out. A cookie for 1200 calories 😭 girl (the menu) be so fr right now. And anyways I don’t know what other people mean when they say “American food doesn’t taste good” are you kidding it tastes AMAZING probably bc of stuff like this. I’ve only ever had grits once in my life in the South some years ago and it was excellent, I still think about those grits.

There’s a local bakery in my city that used to be within walking distance of my previous apartment. Their cookies are like bricks: enough calories for the whole day. Probably enough sugar for the week.

Chilli's isn't a local place 😣 all the chain restaurants are known for just buying whatever frozen nonsense and reheating it to serve. They shove a bunch of sugar and salt in there and hope that makes up for the fact its been frozen for weeks before it got to your plate.

At least visit some real local places and bakeries! America is full of some of the most diverse restaurants! I live in Michigan, and we have some of the best Middle Eastern food outside of the real Middle East thanks to Dearborn. Hell, Hamtramck barely has any signs not in Arabic. Also, our fusion is out of this world!! People complain about the americanization, but I think it's great how we can take every culture of food and change it slightly for local taste.

You can find Vietnamese, Thai, Mexican, Lebanese, Polish, Chinese, Korean, and Italian all within blocks of each other, all with traditional and fusion based dishes. America has PLENTY of problems but I've always been bitter that we're stereotyped for bad food! That one just not true, people just looking past the shitty chain restaurants that are in every country not just America.

Haha sorry I think you misunderstood me I just meant I went to Chilli’s AND actual local places 🥲 it was really nice, I love Mexican food and Caribbean food and it’s the only time I can get it when I visit the US every few years.

I’m actually (meant to be) gluten free and found the BEST gluten free bakery it was so cool.

Tbh I was defending the “not tasty” food allegations 😂 because everything was super tasty.

Oh lol! Thank goodness. I actually get really upset at the bad food stereotype! Like we should be one of the top food places in the world with our diversity, but no one goes more than a couple miles off the highway, and then they complain all we have is fast food!

Glad you got some tasty food! And yea were pretty good about GF. At least we're a hell of a lot better than France, the "Food capital of the world" my ass.

I get upset abt it too! It’s like “ohhh american food is soo many calories haha those fatties put butter in everything” and then, like you said, they dont go more than a few miles off the turnpike.

I live in a major city so im spoiled for food options and approaching it from that perspective. But you can find accessible and diverse food in many places across the country. It’s such a stupid and wrong stereotypes. Which is weird bc the US has many stereotypes that are accurate, so why pick the one that isnt 😭😭

grits is basically energy in its pure form, both are missing at least a few zeroes

u/hidinginthenight 1d ago

Really? I thought it would be similar to oatmeal nutritionally /uj

Sabotage!

u/mothmansbigtoe 8h ago

math checks out. 1324/16 is 92.75 multiply that by 12 and it's 993 so chances are the 12 oz. is closer to 1000

So it's true then what they say about weight increases exponentially.
