@eelco1982 NO ONE - except for the ones who can affor their lifestyle - is really "free". Working for a living is part of life, but the USA is especially bad, because "exploiting fellow citizens is seen as acceptable or even praised.

@IWrocker The USA is a "special" place, because the first settlers were RELIGIOUS EXTREMISTS who were "fleeing from THE ENLIGHTENMENT"[1] ... which is the social change that allowed Europe to develop science, fair laws and humanitarian attitudes. This is the difference between societies run by EMOTION versus LOGIC/REASONING ... and this is the reason why a really large part of americans BELIEVE IN GHOSTS. The "mindset of BELIEVING IN TRUTH" (the bible for example OR a flat earth OR feminism OR american capitalism OR "USA USA USA USA USA") as opposed to PROVING FACTS. SADLY ... starting with the French Revolution ... the "counter-trend to the Enlightenment" started, which also affected Europe ... and is pushing us towards EMOTION as well. For this reason "arguments" are shifted towards EMOTION ... calling it "hate" instead of "criticism" ... because people want to argue on an emotional level instead of with facts. In a sense the US culture is still MEDIEVAL, because you have no problems EXPLOITING YOUR FELLOW CITIZEN ... by paying them a "non-living wage" for example ... so they have to work 10-16 hours per day to make enough money ... basically enslaving themselves! Real slavery got replaced by wage slavery ... which is even beneficial for the employer, because you had a responsibility/interest in a slave you own, but an employee you can hire and fire? Nah. [1] This is the reason why american christians are such ZEALOTS ... nowhere else will you hear people say stuff like "with the help of god we will do [whatever]" or the popular "Jesus Christ our lord and saviour".

Concerning food: just name the ONE ADDITIVE in all american food that is causing your problems: SUGAR SUGAR SUGAR SUGAR SUGAR! Combined with portion size / overeating this is the #1 fattening substance ... because sugar is PURE ENERGY that will get stored in your body fat unless you immediately need it.
