Fascinating! Guess What's on the American Ethnic Aisle at This Grocery Store in China





There are "ethnic" food aisles at your local grocery store, but wait until you see the kinds of foods in the USA ethnic food section in one Chinese grocery store ...

Here's a way to shine a light on America's love for high-fat and processed foods: Just take a look at the favorite food items foreign grocery stores carry and label as American--everything from processed sweet desserts to icky, trans-fat laden shortening and sugary cereals. Blogger Gwen of the blog Sociological Images made a video of one American ethnic food section in a Chinese grocery store, and I was pretty fascinated (see the clip, below). Aside from the barbecue sauce, this little exercise made me a little embarrassed for the USA!

Do you try to break free from stereotypical American eating habits, or do you tend to love all the stuff featured in this video? No judgment. Just curious if, in your opinion, this looks like a realistic account of a typical American's diet.

P.S. Our readers weighed in on their favorite food items at the grocery store--here's your shopping list!
