All Hail America, King of Junk Food.

[The Curmudgeon]

So I have returned from my travels, and while I was busy getting spun around on roller coasters, drooling over the lady Disney Princesses (seriously, Tinkerbell and Ariel the Mermaid.. DAMN) and having my fucking mind BLOWN by the Harry Potter ride (I wish I was a bigger Potter fan because that shit was amazing), one thing I noticed was that the US of A absolutely owns food over there.

Not sure about stuff that's actually good for you (I wasn't on a health kick over there or anything) but all the good shit? Hoo-wee. You name it, America have put peanuts in it or made it grape flavoured. We went into Walmart (a store we don't have in the UK) and it was just.. holy shit. Just a ridiculous selection of food. Rows upon rows of cookies, crisps (sorry, "chips"), drinks.. amazing. Cookies with fucking M&M's in them, man. I won't lie, we went a bit mad in there.

How do you people stay slim?

We don't.

We do a little better in Cali (mock us for our smoothies all you want, but that shit is healthy AND delicious), but overall there is just an insane amount of shit to eat anywhere you go in this country and it shows. If you think Walmart is something, you've got to see Costco some time. That's like the Disney World of stores. An absolute madhouse of free samples and more food than any population of humans should ever have access to. Glad you enjoyed your trip. I really want to go on that fucking Harry Potter ride now.
