I’m commenting on what I’ve actually seen in the US. The portions served when eating out were bigger on average than in most of Europe, and the bread you’re supposed to make savory sandwiches of is somehow sweet in taste.
This has nothing to do with being nationalistic or not. It’s a statement of fact.
It just looks like at least in the US, if you go to the nearest grocery store to buy food or you eat out, and your goal is to decrease caloric intake, you’re playing against a stacked deck, is all I’m saying. You either need to spend extra time, effort, and money to find better places, or overcompensate by exercising extra time.
It becomes nationalistic, in the HN moderation sense of the word, when a comment talks about a country in a pejorative way using snark internet rhetoric.
