Default Standard American Diet

Just curious who here eats like this? And yes, it was pointed out to me
that it is a generalization but it really isn't. Here's one example:

Here's another:

And another:

I'm willing to bet that not many of us here eat like this. And I don't
personally know too many who do. One of my friends isn't really big on
vegetables and probably eats more meat than she should, but she does cook
and doesn't eat junk food. I know some other people who eat out a lot but
they do eat salads. In this house, we probably don't eat as much fruit as
we should, but then given the diabetes on both sides of the family, we
shouldn't be eating a lot of fruit. We do probably eat more beans and
vegetables than most.
