It’s quite difficult to find wholesome, good food in this country. From Good Citizen at thegoodcitizen.live:
Inside the empire of psychopathic killers:
Part 1: “Food”
Part 2: “Water”
Part 3: “Air”
Part 4: “Medicine”
Part 5: The Hidden and Forbidden
Like, Literal Poison Y’all
It’s not uncommon lately to watch a video confessional on attention networks of someone returning to the empire of elastic waistbands from a European holiday, raving about all the high-carb, high-caloric food they ate:
“Like, so I could never eat like that here in Texas on the Gulf of America, but like here’s the weird thing y’all, after all that pasta, gelato, and pizza, I didn’t gain a pound. I like, literally lost five pounds! I don’t know what it is over there, maybe it’s the walking around, but I play tennis and golf here, and take more steps here, according to my Apple Watch. You know what I think? I think maybe they’re poisoning us here, y’all. Like literally poisoning us.”
Where the confessionals lack eloquence, they compensate with honesty and literal semantic bleaching for hyperbolic filler.
Living in Europe for seventeen of the past twenty years and making the transatlantic journey west, I saw the culinary cultural contrasts up close, between healthy and fit people who value real food as part of daily life, and the ultra-processed gluttony on offer with fake foods inside the Empire of Elastic Waistbands.

For all the problems France has as a nation, ubiquitous toxic food is not one of them. Within Europe, nobody values cuisine more than the French, and they simply won’t tolerate Frankenfoods or chemical substitutes. You can taste it in every bite, from the supermarket to a cheap corner bistro.
In France, a baguette is fixed at under €1, and is real bread, not made with potassium bromate and azidinocarbamide, chemicals used to make “bread” for elastic waistband subjects that are also used to manufacture yoga mats, pesticides, and explosives. (seriously)
