How? I've never seen anything that I thought was strange. We don't eat
anything that is still alive, or wiggles, or whatever. Our food is
pretty basic, with the exception maybe of some fancy stuff.... but a lot
of that is foreign influence.

cousins like that...... last Thanksgiving the boy ate only Biscuits!
There diets consist of mainly carbs, and sugar!

American food tends to be over processed nowadays, too.
