It's a very big country and people don't always perceive it that way. Things like crime seem commonplace to tourists due to the news. It would be like something happening in Italy and you being worried about it effecting you in the UK.
You’re thinking of Native American lands. That would be mesa verde. But the oldest European settlement is st Augustine here in Florida since the 1500s.
We're not walking around like it's the Wild West with guns everywhere, lol. You're right in that being overweight is measured against the BMI BUT that doesn't mean you're unhealthy. I read a study where they took two women, one was very fit, exercised and ate like she THOUGHT she should and another woman who exercised ate just as healthy but weighed more than the 1st woman by about 40-50lbs. They were the same age and same height and when the blood tests came in the smaller "fit" woman had more unhealthy numbers than the larger woman. BMI is not an accurate representation of what it means to be healthy.
As of 2023, there were 207,827 fast food restaurants in the US. out of a total count of 749,404 restaurants. Being the 'Melting Pot' of the world, we have just about any ethnicity covered. You may have difficulty finding Ethiopian fare in Hog Waller, Tennessee but I'm certain we can find something you'll like without resorting to a fast food burger. BTW, we don't refer to every hot sandwich as a 'burger'. Burgers here are made from ground hamburger *only*. We don't have Salmon Burgers, Chicken Burgers, Haggis Burgers, peanut and jelly burgers, Baked Beans Burgers, etc. For the most part our metro transportation does suck, in regard to being timely/saturated. Although some cities do have excellent systems. However, we do have plenty of rental cars available with free mileage and plenty of parking lots...
I agree with you except the burger part. A burger in the US is a grounded meat patty (or grounded meat patty substitute) in between 2 pieces of bread regardless of the bread type. So yes chicken burgers definitely exist in the US they just aren't as common as chicken sandwiches.

I am an 81-year-old native Hoosier from Columbus, Indiana (home of Cummins Diesel and Arvin Industries. I have lived in New Rochelle, New York;, San Francisco and Pacific Grove, Cal.; Louisville, Kentucky; Izmir, Türkiye; and Indy. Have lived in Indy since 1977. The video you selected to show our city is really inadequate. I am writing this to filll it in a little and answer some of the questions you posed. Indiana’s first capitol city was Corydon, a town near the Ohio River. The area was part of the Northwest Territory, which was originally called Indiana but Benjamin Franklin. Five states (Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, and Wisconsin) were formed out of that territory. Indiana was one of the first states formed after the Treaty of Ghent established permanent peace with the United Kingdom. The early government of the state chose to move its capitol to as near to the center of the state bas they could manage. Early development of national commerce centered on canal transportation. Indy is about as far west as the canal system from New York stretched before railroads made them obsolete. The collapse of the canal system (in which the State had heavily invested) bankrupted the state and led to e new state constitution which expressly forbids it to incur debt or run a deficit. For this reason, Indiana has always been a conservative state. It rather reliably votes for Republicans in statewide elections, including for the Presidency. On November 5 it will be near to the first state whose vote for President will be projected by our national news media. (Shortly after midnight, London time.) Indianapolis is the 15th most populous city in the UA, with around 800,000 people, and a Metropolitan area that extends past the Marion County limits about 20 miles on each side. One of its major industrial companies is Eli Lilly, a Big Pharma company that was the first to make and sell insulin. A major operation is the Broad Ripple yards, the main repair facility for Amtrak, the USA’s government-run railroad passenger company. The video scarcely mentioned any part of Indy aside from its downtown and a museum. Indy is home of the Indianapolis Moter Speedway, site of the 500-mile Indycar race and the Brickyard 400-mile race. Just outside the official city-county limits is Indianapolis Raceway Park, site of the leading drag race events in the USA. The city has notable concert events. The Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra is one of the country’s major orchestras. I will search for pictures from Indy to send you.

I am 61 years old and in my entire lifetime I saw only one person with a gun that was not a police officer. People in America don’t go around waving guns at each other.
“The United States is home to 13% of the world’s fat population, the largest percentage of any other country in the world, according a new study published in the Lancet.” “Researchers found more than 2 billion people worldwide are heavy. The U.S. leads the pack, while China and India combined for 15% of the world’s overweight population, according to the report. And the concern isn't just the percentage of the world that has crossed over into obesity, but the Associated Press reports that no country has been able to reverse the trend in the last decades. “It’s pretty grim," said Christopher Murray of the Institute of Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington, who led the study. “When we realize that not a single country has had a significant decline in obesity, that tells you how hard a challenge this is.”
Howdy from Texas. Yes you are correct about the old civilizations that preceded the arrival of the Anglo Saxons on the American continent. The ruins you are probably referring to are from the Pueblo people who built their entire cities in the sides of mountains. American history didn't start with the arrival of Europeans. The native Americans have thousands if not millions of years of history here in the Americas. History is not exclusive to the arrival of Europeans. But the way it is taught to us on both sides of the pond sort of fosters that way of thinking.
There are a lot of guns but you're not going to see many. "Concealed carry" is popular. In my state 11% of the population have a conceal carry permit. So potentially, 1 in 10 people at the stores, etc, are armed.
It’s true that there are 393 million REGISTERED firearms in the US. You do not need to register firearms. So that number is likely way higher. … I don’t understand why the Beesleys thought that every American going about their day would carry around an AK-47 or AR-15… those weapons are in people’s homes. There are plenty of pistols on the streets concealed on people. You simply don’t see them. They are 100% there though.
There are a lot of guns here but you rarely see them out in the open.....there will be times that you will see people carryint guns but it varies with every state....also when it comes to every american being overweight sometimes overweight can be defined as being 10 pounds heavier than how you should be
Hi Thurs, you almost never see people with Guns. In the US there are laws called canceled carry. People may have guns but they are canceled on their person or in a purse or glove box. People think all Americans are fat because of fast food. L3WG eats nothing but fast food and is skinny as hell. I have a belly but that is because I like to drink alcohol. I never eat fast food except Chick Fillet. We have a lot of history over the past 300 years but the cancer of our history is slavery. My family history dates back to the UK. We are all immigrants. I almost never eat fast food. We have so many local restaurants that are so much better and not that much more expensive ten fast food. My favorite is Cuban and Korean. Amazing food. You need to rent a car if you are going to stay within 500 miles. Any more you fly. Again about food.................do you have smoked beef brisket? I am so sorry. Great Reaction. Go Revise.
Hey I live in Missouri. However it's not super common. But I have seen quite a bit of regular people open carry pistols. I have seen it about dozen or two times. However I have open carried my Rifle on my back riding my Mountain Bicycle to the shooting range five or six times. Missouri is a open carry state.
The people who eat more fast food than any American seem to be British UA-camrs. I had a Big Mac a week ago for the first time in a year, probably (and yes, terrible timing--so far no stomach pains). I am so tired of admonishing Brits visiting the US to try the GOOD food at independent, often family owned restaurants. Jolly seems to be the only ones who do this regularly. The rest of you head straight for the chains. I wonder what you ate in San Francisco because except near Fisherman's Wharf--tourist central--there aren't hardly any chain fast food places (the city literally bans them).
We do have a national rail system. It's called Amtrak. They go coast to coast in many places around the country. It's just that like you have in the U K. we just cannot have because the country is so large
Unfortunately Amtrack doesn't go out to the West very well. Utah has its own rail system but that's because there was already rails set into place. Not to mention the Transcontinental Railroad's middle point is in a northern corner of Utah.
Exactly--a cross country rail trip takes 3 days. There is no longer a direct coast to coast line (there used to be one from LA to Jacksonville, FL and then south to Orlando) but the tracks were wiped out by Hurricane Katrina and the service was never restored. Now, you have to go to Chicago from pretty anywhere in the northeast and from there you can catch a train for LA, San Francisco, Seattle or Portland. Alternatively, you can go south from NY or Washington to New Orleans and from there to LA. You will spend 3 nights either on the train or in a hotel (or station) waiting from the Chicago or New Orleans connection. Actually, I highly recommend these trips as a way to see the maximum amount of America but I consider it essential to get a "roomette" so you can sleep comfortably which boosts the cost higher than air travel.
