Does the North American diet differ from the diets of other countries?

Heather: Absolutely. North Americans in general have one of the unhealthiest diets around the world. It has been said that certain people "live to eat" while others "eat to live." As far as I know, people from other countries think North Americans live to eat. I can't give a more specific answer to this though because I don't know how every single North American eats. Many people have healthy diets, but Americans have been stereotyped as overeaters. Having Triple Big Macs on their McDonald's menu doesn't help their case. They are the only country to have such large fast food portions.
