>>3249010why are these mental coping issues so prominent in americans?
The mentality of majority of americans has gone to shit.
Everything is available too instantly with little precautions. Always the "more and fast" attitude. More food, more sales, faster lines, faster food, lazy as possible.
These people don't have any respect for whats around them. No respect for food, for ingredients, for nature, surroundings, people or even for their own bodies.
