AnandaYoga108 AnandaYoga108 1 week ago Beautifully expressed. I am a German living in Italy, have travelled the world, including the USA, and have wonderful American friends. If all people travelled and met other realities, with open heart, we could learn so much from each other. I love my American, Italian, German, Indian, British, Russian friends. 582 ellen1958 ellen1958 3 days ago I am a 62 year old single female who hasn't been much of anywhere outside the western US. Thank you so much for this video. It has given me alot to think about. 178 Elkmonger Elkmonger 2 days ago When I was younger and making money I wanted to flaunt it. That didn't last long. Now I make even more money and just want to be left alone. I love social distancing. I've been practicing it most of my adult life. 108 P V P V 3 days ago I think your message is a breath of fresh air. Thank you. I live in Miami too and I understand what you are saying. 86 vudu8ball vudu8ball 3 days ago I was in Iraq in the early 70's before all the wars. When I got home I couldn't believe how fat everyone was. 168 OrthodoxAtheist OrthodoxAtheist 6 days ago European here, who has now lived almost 20 years (approx. half my life) in America. Literally everything stated in this video I find to be true. This is a great country that really could be as great as so many think it is, if more people travelled and realized what so much of the rest of the world has, and what Americans also deserve, and then returned home to fight for it. 149 positively_broad_st positively_broad_st 1 day ago "If you have something you can't part with. You don't own that object - it owns you." ~ Frank Sinatra 73 Carlos Oliveira, o alfacinha Carlos Oliveira, o alfacinha 3 days ago Your travels makes you more sentient, humble and Humanity friendly. 117 Medo Brundo Medo Brundo 3 days ago The fact that Kardashians are famous is a prove of consumerism mentality in America 175 Flutist not Flautist Flutist not Flautist 2 days ago The first thing that shocked me after returning to the US was that everybody I knew gained weight in the 5 years I was gone. Everyone. It was freaky and eye-opening. 48 OboeCanAm OboeCanAm 1 day ago The amount of unhealthy food consumed there is truly astounding, and portions of food served at restaurants are much larger than anywhere else I've visited. 5 Stephen Fiore Stephen Fiore 1 day ago (edited) ......It’s the sugar, and wheat and oats and pasta causing this.. If you just quit eating those 4 things you’ll lose weight. Just eat steak, bacon, eggs cheese with soft yolk = zero carbs, lose weight. Called the carnivore diet. See Dr KenDBerryMD on YouTube 3 J K J K 1 day ago @Stephen Fiore Or just fast. Its really easy to do for fat people once they cut out the sugars 1 two one 2 1 two one 2 1 day ago I know exactly what you mean. Returned to the states, went to a Birthday party and was the ONLY ONE who wasn't big !! Super freaky feeling !! Especially since it was soo obvious to me but everyone else seemed oblivious. 4 Skylar Kenwood Skylar Kenwood 19 hours ago It is the garbage and fillers along with sugar in everything, plus no exercise. 2 Skylar Kenwood Skylar Kenwood 19 hours ago @Stephen Fiore plus moving! Get off the couch, in front of tv, or video, computer games people do for insane hours! Flutist not Flautist Flutist not Flautist 19 hours ago Of course, this happened to me too when I got back. Less exercise, worse food, more stress. There's something about the lifestyle here that makes us much, much more susceptible to this. It's not just willpower.
