Troll?
My thoughts exactly.0 -
you can get pasturiezed dairy & eggs that will be healthier than fast food for 2 wks. you can get peanut butter from health stores & even regular grocery stores thats "raw" w/out add'l sugar, fats thats safe
I wouldnt eat raw meat under duress so I cant help you there. plenty of people eat sushi w/out problems here, the average sushi bar is fine.0 -
Ya know some folks on here would not see a troll if it hit them with raw pork......0

Yes.
You have cause to be concerned.
Also make sure you bring a gun.0 -
Only eat at the Waffle House. You'll be fine0

i love how the US has taken over the word "america"
forget about the other countries in south & north america, we have ALL OF IT.0 -
Are you being serious?
If our food was unsafe to eat, why would we have an obesity epidemic? We'd all be skinny and sick.
Actually, I think this is WHY there is an obesity epidemic here.0 -
Stay away from fast food and processed food!!! Seriously, don't eat fast food if you can help it. Check out the smaller non-chain locations if you'll be eating at restaurants. The quality is much better. There's also grocery stores if you would like to prepare food. I'd suggest Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, & Sprouts. If you're going to the grocery store, just buy organic and buy things in their natural state....read the labels for anything else.
Enjoy 'Merica! F**K YEAH!0 -
I'll pack you some boobjuice. Just keep it cold!0

I suggest two guns.0 -

I figured he was either a troll or very dim, and decided to give him the benefit of the doubt. :-D0 -
Also, the cows here say "moo", not "shazoo".0

No boyo, its 'merica. We are not all united, just connected
sad but true...0 -
Well I'm not dead yet.... :huh:0

Yes, pack two weeks worth of raw dairy and meat. Enjoy your trip!
I really wish MFP had a "like" button!
Ohmygoshmetooooooo!0 -
In the United States, the food you purchase at our markets is safe. There's always potential for issues eating raw...but that's anywhere.
I wouldn't pack the food...enjoy our fresh food from a market. Fast food here isn't any safer than market food...and is much higher in calories, fat, and all things bad for you.
Enjoy your trip!
Yeah, if this is a real post, listen to this.
The only real difference I can think of is that it's more difficult to find unpasteurized dairy/eggs/etc., but for the most part our food here is very safe. Um. I don't know what else to say. Do you have links for all these death&doom stories you've heard?0 -
:sad:
The horror of not realizing that you can get unpasteurized cheese in most of the Americas (including the United States).
Raw stuff, too.
But you will get shot in a drive-by, so it's all good.0 -
You should be fine. There are plenty of places to get healthy food in the US - Whole Foods, Trader Joe's and Sprouts. also, most groceries have organic items. Enjoy your trip!0
