American Things My European Mind Can't Comprehend...

2600 calories in one drink! And 4.5 g of salt... (that's right folks,1770 mg of Sodium means >4500 mg of salt)😐

More than my daily calorie intake...

Sugar, salt, and fat for "bliss points" in 'food.'

Basic canned tomato soup is now sweetened here in the states. Just get a can of tomatoes and season it...

I have avoided the middle food isles in grocery stores for years. Junk. Maybe some canned veg's in a pinch, but they get sweetened as well!

Everything seems to be sweetened and salted to death. It's crazy. My day-to-day cooking is based on fresh, basic ingredients -- meat, potatoes, fresh vegetables, rice, etc. -- but even then I know the "meat" is treated in ways I can't avoid, as with the vegetables, and probably the rice too. And as pure as that statement might make me sound, there are still processed foods in my diet. I keep them to a minimum, but they're there.
