Belgium eats "French" (actually Belgian) fries all the time, covered in mayo. No joke, every family has their own receipt, which may include super unhealthy stuff like frying potato twice, etc. But they are surprisingly slim. Locals say that that's because of sports, walking, bicycle etc. America just has worst-habits-for-health combo: car dependent, ultra-processed, sugar in everything, sport only on a stadium or in a gym, expensive healthcare not really interested in your well-being etc.Germany from personal observations:
- They have fats in their food, but it's a natural fat, derived from meat or butter, not some processed chemical bs.
- They also have vegetables everywhere.
- Bread is whole grain and not sweet. I've never seen bread so good as in Germany.
- They don't like sweets. They don't drink sodies. Zoomers are addicted to energy drinks however.
