And Americans get seriously upset when someone says they don't have a food culture.
New Orleans has the best I've seen in the world so far, as long as you don't go where tourists go.
They live in the car because they cannot afford to live in a real house or flat. This is not the car's fault.

And constantly eating fast food from disposable dishes with a plastic fork. 🙄
You must have missed the upgrade. They are cardboard forks now.
I'd be fine with this as long as the packaging was also cardboard. When I see a drink in a full plastic cup with a soggy paper straw I'm baffled.

I can think of few places that are more uncomfortable to dine on than a car seat.
...actually, car seats are pretty uncomfortable places to do anything, really. You expect to be able to do stuff comfortably there, but you just can't. It's weird. And at the same time it's not so uncomfortable that you stop doing stuff there entirely. And you're like "what's wrong with me?" but then you realise it's not your fault after all - it's the cars that are weird.
As an Australian many years ago i read a thread on reddit from some stressed lady or other (I.S/ wjo said her best times were eatibg a sandwich in the car park of tje sandwhich place..and i was like, shoot me now, how can that be? it was beyond my ability to grok not going to a park, or the beach, or a lake or whatever and getting out of the shitty spot that is a a car, in a carpark, beisde a road, in front of a sandwich joint to eat a sandwich and collect your thoughts.
