“I have traveled on 4 continents, and food is cheaper here in good ole USA than all civilized countries I have visited. And so long as Obesity is a huge problem, I have to laugh at “high food prices” here.”
Yeah, I donno man. You ever tried the shawarmas at Second Circle in Amman? The two guys work out of a 20’ conex off the sidewalk under shade. $5 gets you a bag of them with tzatziki sauce. They’re delicious. Also the Babylonian restaurant north of the Baghdad embassy has $4 rotisserie chickens in a rotating case on the sidewalk. Then there’s the Veranda restaurant in Manama, Bahrain. A four course meal for $12 with the freshest and best tasting vegetables ever. All these meals are cheaper, fresher and better tasting than what’s available in the US. Probably cuz they don’t have all the artificial stuff like American food.
Amman, Mumbai, Jakarta, Manilla,....Yeah I have been over the map visiting countries, and restaurants have 2 classes there. Very expensive and very cheap.
By civilized counties I was talking about the G10 countries, including Western Europe, USA, Canada, Japan, Australia. There you have a hi-courts to hand out fair justice and you don’t get arrested for religious reasons.
I am sorry to say this, and I speak bluntly, but I have not so many Obese people in any country like I see in USA.
And that includes Asian countries such as Bahrain.
