As a European just let me say wow.
This is wrong on so many levels. And I assume you're not aware of half of them.
As a Canadian, lol.
I hope I'm aware of at least 3/4's of the levels of wrongness. We're pretty influenced by American culture but still have our own identity. It seems to be fading a bit with time but I remember travelling to the US and thinking why is the yogurt so sweet? Why is the bread sweet?
I went on a work trip, pancakes had so much sugar they did not taste good, then powdered sugar on top, and a large slab of butter. The table syrup was just brown glucose-fructose. It was terrible. For dinner we went to Panerra bread, again everything you expect to be savory was so sweet.
