    Americentrism at it again.

    4/5, in the USA, the rest of the world have such a thing as Government Mandated Food Standards that ban or discourage this shite.

      Ultra processed food isn’t just an american thimg. It’s normalised to take cgildren to a McDonalds and feed them garbage has also become normalized all over the place. Ever seen a menue in a average restaurant? The kids menu isn’t just a smaller version of a normal menu, it’s chicken nuggets and fries, hamburger and fries and something else that has been tortured and processed

        The kids menu is cheap sisco crap. I’ve had the same exact kids menu chicken tenders in 10 different states, which was the same chicken tenders as on some bar menus.

        I didn’t know going to McDonald’s once in a blue moon was killing children.

        The kids menu thing drives me fucking nuts. I’ll be at a Mexican restaurant and the kids options are hamburger, hot dog, buttered noodles or quesadilla. My kid eats everything because I always just shared my food with him, at least have some flipping tacos on the kids menu.

        Let’s be honest: this does not end with a cultural change or miracle: this ends when so many of us start dying, that civilization collapses, and people have to start over
