  • Does living in the US make you fat?
  • “Aren’t you eating all the time?” people ask me. You’ll get fat living in the US!!! Is that really true? When people think of American food, they of course think of hamburgers, pizza, and sweet cakes loaded with sugar! Pretty much all junk food, right?

  • A Trip to Chicago, One of America’s Top 3 Big Cities
