See? There's his point.
If you think about it you'll realise McDs could make zero profit in the US and 100% of their profit in Europe, that still wouldn't mean Europeans eat more pounds of lard and brain tissue per capita than Americans.
Fast 'food' is much more competitive in the US, in Europe its still a novelty.
Enjoy it while it lasts.Jord wrote:

The rise of obesity is for the most part a Western world problem. Fast food is more than just a novelty in Europe. From what I have seen the times I have been over there it's a matter of convenience .. just like it is here in the states.

I don't have personal experience there. I know that there are very little relative differences in the eating habits of Europe and America. I saw the same major thriving fast food joints in Europe as I did in the states. The one benefit Europeans have over Americans is that they walk and bike more .. a lot more. Population density might have something to do with that. If you live in suburban america it's hard to get anywhere without a vehicle.Cybargs wrote:

What you might not have noticed is the density of fast food outlets is much lower in Europe, there aren't roads where 2/3 businesses are food outlets for miles.
European eating habits are very different, eating out rates are much lower for example, and portion sizes are smaller.

I don't have roads around me here that are 2/3 fast food places.Dilbert_X wrote:

Not only did I observe the eating habits in public, but I stayed with individual families and friends when I was over there. Europe is dealing with an Obesity problem Dilbert. It's a fact. And since we've agreed that they exercise more, what else can it be besides their diet? Perhaps it's not quite as bad, but it is pretty damn close.

people are loving burgers and pizzas in taiwan. fast food joints like McDs and KFC rule asia pretty much. people in taiwan at least have a habit of not cooking at home nowadays (most apartments being built now either have no kitchen or a really really small one). people usually buy food from outside and bring in either chinese takeaway aka boxed lunch (very different from the US) or buy it from fast food joints. shit thing is the former is sometimes more unsanitary than the latter.Kmar wrote:

Doesn't Asia have a much stronger street food culture than other places, as well (as opposed to fast food)?Cybargs wrote:

well in taiwan at least the street food places are in concentrated areas (in my city I can name 3) and its a bit of a hassle. but its not really food that will fill you up, more like midnight snacks and the sort. theres still a strong presence of street food but fast food is quickly eating up the market share.FEOS wrote:

I found this pretty funny.I hate Islam. That's right, deep down somewhere inside me, I think, maybe it's subconscious, maybe not, I hate Islam. I hate Islam for the same reason every other full blooded American hates Islam, I know NOTHING about it.
Here's what I do know about Islam, which as far as any American should be concerned, is all I need to know, that is, until I travel outside these borders. Islam is a religion that is practiced by non-English speaking foreigners. I think it's evil which is why nobody in Hawaii believes in it. Followers of Islam build bazookas and Russian built AK-47's. Also, followers of Islam are confined to a specific region, mainly Iraq, and the city of Fallujah. If you believe in Islam outside of this region you will be beheaded. No, that's wrong, they chop off your right hand. Islam is a country. If you are not from Islam and you go there you will be beheaded.
Islam was a man. His name was Mohammed. His god was Allah. Mohammed is a god and so was Allah. Something like that. I've got it straight now, at some point in time there was a man named Mohammed in the Middle East.
If you are from the Islam, you must hate America which is to say, all white people. I think that qualifies as a Holy War.
People from the country of Islam do not build things, they blow them up. Also people from the country of Islam will all burn in hell because Jesus says so. You cannot get a passport to Islam because your plane will be hijacked and blown up in the name of Gandhi.
I might be a tad off with that bit of information, but I'm trying to piece together every good chunk of information about this subject that we all learned extensively about back in high school. Education is key! My next article will be about Scientology which in order to belong to this social club, you must be a scientist. In the meantime, here is a picture of Islam for futher study.

How the fuck does one spell Libya's dictator's name?
I've seen Gaddafi, Qaddafi, Qadafi, Gadhafi, Khaddafy
I'm guessing Gaddafi, but why the fuck does MSNBC spell it Khaddafy? Fox seems to have them beat, spelling it Qaddafi. CNN spells it Gadhafi.
Seems like the News outlets refuse to use one name...

I use Gadaffi, frankly the POS doesn't deserve the dignity of proper spelling
you can translate and spell arabic names in several ways in the roman alphabet. it doesn't matter as long as the phonetic pronunciation is correct.Trotskygrad wrote:
