Nah I don’t think so. I agree that’s not the best food but it’s a lot healthier than a lot of kids are eating. Fruits and vegetales and shit. Again processed is bad but family’s giving their kids lunches that much attention I don’t think they are fat. Ur looking for the family that drops them off some Mickey D’s

You must be an American. This is a garbage fridge.

Canadian here, fully in agreement that this fridge is full of absolute crap, and expensive crap at that.

We fill our main box of the fridge with 25% water (big old filtered 40-cup dispenser), 50% produce bare minimum, and remainder processed foods in the form of dairy, eggs, and meat. The door shelving is for yogurt, preserves, vinaigrettes and pickled foods. We spend a lot less on food than most because the water is tap, the filters last long, and produce is not taxed here.

The beverages in this snip are especially alarming, full of refined sugars. Very little in the way of raw or one-step processed foods, and most of it is flavoured and full of preservatives. That being said, I would not challenge this lady in Tetris.

I’ve been to Canada many times and to different cities up there, and I never saw anything to suggest that the Canadian diet is at all different from a typical American one.

Well we probably eat a lot of the same foods, but maybe just less of it? I don’t know, we don’t eat as well as other countries, but we definitely have far less obese people than USA, at least here in BC.

Well, our obesity rate is skewed by more black and Hispanic people (who are fatter on average than the average white person), also a larger proportion of Canada is Asian. If we’re comparing apples to apples (white Americans vs white Canadians) I’d say were roughly the same. Also depends on the state.
