Originally posted by Neon Sky So much junk food in the American one.

It was a problem when I was there for a few months some years ago, shopping for food was quite hard as virtually 90% of it is processed crap. Loaded with very high levels of sugars, fats, carbs and salt which would literally give me a constant headache that I ended up seeing a doctor as I wasn't used to it.
"Too much sugar!"
As well as making me hyperactive and cranky it ruined my sleep patterns, which in turn, put me off eating, back to the doctor who at least (bless him!) just gave me a list of places I could go shopping that had unprocessed food not loaded with sugar.
Of which gets named all manner of cunning labels like 'Fructose' (corn based sugars)


Between the two of us here I'll usually buy about $180-220AU a week of food, most of it fresh groceries, about 60% of it vegetable based, roughly 30-40% meat and dairy.

I almost replied too quickly with corn ethanol is the problem, but your thread touched on that. I am still reading it. Really good thread so far.
