One thing I will surely miss here in South Africa is the food. Its not that its different by much (in fact Im eating frito lays right now) but the ingredients are different. For example in these red Fritos chips there is no red 40 neither is it in the red gatorade. In all the same candy found in the U.S. I ate here and it didnt have high fructose corn syrup but rather real sugar. I have yet to see high fructose corn syrup in anything. Their corn must not be GMOed or have as much fillers because unlike in America after you eat a corn product you are full. Then there is the strawberries, I had real wild strawberries in a fruit salad and I didnt realize what it was. You see this tiny red fruit didnt resemble at all the size or taste of our strawberries. Our strawberries have been blown out of proportion and taste like water compared to their strawberries which are smaller and juicier. What a shame it is, that my country which has much more money than South Africa allows for such cheap ingredients and processing to be in our food! These ingredients have been linked to our high obesity rates and ADHD, and yet we are allowed to consume this poisen. Shame on you America, this is what is wrong with capitalism.
