I don't get why all foreigners think Americans only eat fast food. Most Americans think it's horrific, but what's the first thing a foreigner do when they get here? Dive headfirst into a Cinnabon like a honey badger, then wash that down with a 5 Guys burger for lunch, while the dip the fries in the chocolate shake. (I've seen it!) then let's go to the Cheesecake Factory for dinner. My God! NO! Just because we have all that stuff doesn't mean you should eat it everyday. To the foreigners that say all Americans are fat, I'd like to see you come on over here for a year & see how thin you'd stay. You'll soon see the struggle.

If you ever get a chance to come to Texas, you'll have to try smoked brisket (beef). It is slow cooked (about 10 hours) and it melts in your mouth (I mean that almost literally). The only bad thing is that once you have it, any other form of beef will be forever unsatisfying. Also, while in the south, try biscuits with gravy. They're not too big (about the size of a baseball), but they do taste good and weigh less 5 Kg. :)

Our food is big because it's a country of Abundance especially food. Americans used to be very hard working we got very hungry and had the food. America is young, Britain came over and other Immigrants and we had to build and farm the entire country. That work requires a lot of food. The industrial revolution and before Americans worked hard and needed that extra food for strength. Often when working we'll skip lunch and often breakfast so tend to get very hungry and when you finally eat you want a lot. It became the normal here to have big portions
