Is this peak Vice?

Editing to be more substantive: America's food culture is really terrible. We take 'celebration' foods from other cultures and then eat them like it's normal food. For one example, tamales used to be a Sunday or Christmas only thing, but now you get tamales any time you like.

Also, corporations are there to make a profit, so if they can sell you a nothing burger, they will. It's really easy to make high calorie, high flavor foods, and it's also really easy to sell that food.

As an aside, I've been going to physical therapy for my ankle, and a lady from Scotland was next to me one day - she said she gained 15 pounds in a couple months after moving to Texas from Scotland - and not from fast food.
