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.

What? Do you want fast food places to give you reusable dishes and silverware with a carry out order?

Do you bring it back or is fast food just gonna get really expensive?

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 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.

Because it’s more likely that you have an AC in your car than at home.

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.
