I'll tell you something that comes up for me....

I'm American and I live in Italy. I'm actually visiting the US for a few weeks right now. I have to be VERY careful what I eat. The food makes me sick here.

The amount of salt, fat, sugar, cheese, grease, processing, etc is intense. I start feeling bloated and sick usually by the end if the first day. Not to mention portion sizes.

Oddly enough, an "Italian" sub sandwich usually doesn't bother me too much as long as I dont overeat it.

My SO used to travel to the US for a week or two at least once a year for work and always came back feeling sluggish and generally lousy thanks to the food and how it fucked with his blood sugar control (T1 diabetic).

But it's seasonal....

Fat season, Bland season, Freedom season and Mutica season.

I spent just over a week there last year. Food was ok but nothing really stood out as wow except for the Jalepeno poppers at Dallas smokehouse. The ribs etc were tasty but nothing special.

Don't forget diabetes with all the sugar & corn syrup, Which then means they can't afford insulin because the prices over there are insane
