• RE: Any Americans or Expats living in the US?

    The country is quite corrupt. Fruit and vegetables are taxed really highly there while junk food is subsidised. So you have a surreal situation where families might eat out at McDonald's 3-4 times a week but can't afford to eat apples and broccoli. No…
