Okay, I know I am in North America right now, but still it surprised me how everything food related is really really expensive, safe for fastfood, which is really really cheap.
6$ Canadian (So ~4.30€) buys a chicken burger with a side of fries and a can of soda. The burger itself was rather a surprise already, as it was easily three times the size of my clenched fist. With fresh lettuce, and a slice of mushy tomato so large it could not have been wrought by something as mundane as sunlight and water. The chicken was actually the least interesting part, as it seemed, altogether, to actually only be chicken with breadcrumbs over it, and not some grand genetic experiment. The biggest surprise though, were the fries. They call them "farmer's fries" but in my opinion most farmers would not eat them on account of them being too greasy and wholesome.
The experience is very tasty, and in the end it's very much like having just eaten a very nourishing brick. Americans complain that there are so few products in Europe. Well, there are, we usually divide stuff into expensive but healthy, cheap but not so bad, and really cheap and unhealthy. Unless we're talking about pastries, which get more unhealthy the more expensive they get. But here, there are at least 20 different kinds of nearly everything, and all of them are somehow not quite healthy.
And who really NEEDS skimmed milk? The answer is actually pretty easy.
