Fast food portion sizes. It's out of control. Drinking 1 liter of soda for lunch shouldn't be normalized. BTW most people are super friendly and nice, in Michigan at least.
Oh, and why is all the cheese orange ?

The fear of naked (intact) female bodies, i.e. censoring of even the slightest nudity, when at the same time, itβs totally fine to have minors play computer games where they can dissect other humans in great bloody detail.
Oh, and chocolate that tastes like somebody barfed into it during manufacturing.

The amount of sugar in any food of yours! It's incredibly sickening and I'm not sure how you deal with that.
I've started noticing that now that I cook 100% of the food I eat. No more processed anything, no more prepackaged anything, no more eating out.
Mostly because of money and my location, but I'm better off for it.
