When traveling internationally, you often wonder what people in other countries think of the United States.
Not so much what people think of Americans – the people, but America itself.
Our culture, manners, habits, customs, and, of course, food.
It can be difficult to tease out an honest answer.
Well, that is until I came across this little gem in Sweden.
Welcome to Tasty America.
It’s a chain, of course.
Can you guess what is in Tasty America – the store?
Well, I hate to break it to you, but it ain’t kale and beets.
Every piece of junk food you have ever seen in your life line the shelves. Your teeth hurt just walking into the place.
At any moment, you expect the Child Catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang to jump out from the corner and put up the cage and haul you away.
Really?
We aren’t known for representive Democracy? The home of the free and the brave? The world’s most dominant economic and military power?
Nope, it’s Twinkies and Sno-balls that light the path to the Promised Land.
Type 2 diabetes?
USA!
USA!
