But, seriously, if we as North Americans knew more about food and nutrition, or if we actually cared, the average diet would include more of the typical raw food things you see. Salads, sprouts, seeds, nuts, raw veggies. Most people stop at a side of french fries and a leaf of iceburg lettuce for the burger.

Americans don't know shit about diet, but either does anyone else.
The Chinese are eating species to extinction thinking they will cure diseases and make their penises hard.
The Japanese have lower heart disease and higher rates of stomach cancer and can't survive without whale meat.
The Germans eat a lot of things with their sausage.
The scotts think a mars bar is best deep fried.
The English not only eat shitty tasting food, they eat shitty tasting fatty food.
The French think that stuffing a live goose until it almost explodes and eating its liver is the highest of cuisine.
The Ethiopians, well I don't know what they think but man their food is awful.
The Mexicans..... mmmm well I don't have a lot of bad things to say about mexican food, but it does get a tad monotonous.
But anyways bad dietary habits seem to be a universal. Americans are fat bastards, but right now Europe is blimping up too, and I expect the trend to spread to nations as wealth expands.
