The American food - Not only fast food
I think every Swedish person thinks about the same thing when you mention the American food to them. We consider ourselves pretty healthy, and we think about Americans as the direct opposite of healthy. When I thought about the food in the United States, I thought about fried food, hamburgers and pizza. I actually believed that they ate junk food for breakfast, lunch and dinner. When I first came to the United States I was expecting to get fat, because I thought that was a part of being an American. Americans are the fattest people in the world, that must mean something, right? But that wasn’t actually the case. The people in the United States have a very different food culture than we have, but that doesn’t mean they are all fat. Things as fast food exists in Sweden too and most people eat it at least once a week, but it’s not as common as in the United States. The people who live in the bigger cities in the United States eat fast food every day. There is no time to cook and that’s why the fast food is so popular. You don’t want to waste your time on cooking when you can buy a meal you can eat on the go. Still, the Americans are not as fat as I thought they would be. There are also a lot of persons who really cares about what they eat. There are options for those who don’t like junk food. And if you are worried about gaining weight, you can always visit a gym. The United States might be the world’s fattest nation, but that doesn’t mean that everyone is fat.

Fast food isn’t big at all in India but of course McDonalds exist there. But the hamburger there aren’t made of beef, there are hamburger made of chicken or fish. Cows are holy for the Hindu people. There are also very few fat people in India. But they don't have the same food culture and since they have very spicy food I suppose they have a great fat burning.
That is quite interesting. I actually did thought as you about the American. And I also thought that Africans ate a lot of bananas and that was wrong too. The South African food and the American food are not so similar I think. Of course South Africa does have the fast food from America too. But I think that they do have more specific food then America have.
