Agree. Food tastes better in Europe and most of my friends have noticed this as well as losing weight on vacation there. Most chalk it up to walking more but I think it’s the food.

Yeah def. Europeans in general look healthier on average as I see. But hard to totally generalise. Southern Europeans love their food and often put effort to prepare it.
In places like Spain things are changing tho. Was at the beach recently there and its true that bodies don't look as good as even 10 years ago. Lots of pre -packed food with sugars and crap available these days.
Another anecdote is the sweets aisle in supermarkets. Barely existed in most supermarkets 7 years ago. Now majority of supermarkets have a dedicated aisle/set of shelves
Bitcoin will hopefully get rid of cheap corn syrup and sugar subsidies.
Bitcoin will do no such thing. We will.
Well maybe. As i know the corn syrup and sugar industries in US are heavily subsidised. This floods the market with cheap sources of ingredients that help our food taste good to our reptilian brains.
Hard money that cant be printed should sort out the 'assistance' given. Currently I don't see how the government gets a return economically from these subsidies. Maybe only via jobs and better voting base??
Oh that’s interesting. Thanks for the anecdotal evidence. I see the same in South Korea. Nowhere near the obesity of the US but far more fat people than ever before especially the younger generations
Can concur
Yeah def. Was there last year and noticed similar. Younger kids have it tough. Addiction all round. Sugar, porn, mobiles, dopamine, new drugs and all the stuff of previous generations also. Sugar is crazy tho. It seems like you need it to celebrate anything these days. Easter, christmas, birthdays, weddings etc...
Not just food. Almost everything health related is better in Europe. That's why the cancer rate in most EU countries is less than half of the US. Still, Europe sucks for smoking with too many smokers, much more than the US. Confusion... why less than half the cancer rate. Could it be big ag food and big pharma creating a nation of sick sheeple who vote for more and are the greatest "market" ever created. BTW: PRINT MORE DOLLARS
