I'd change that to many, or most if you want to only count westerm europe.

KKFs post was fine. I think there's a good amount of american culture that the world could do without (I'm talking about fast food chains here).

Making hamburgers, tacos or pizzas yourself is MUCH healthier, and they taste better.

Exercising...get an exercise bike and use it when you're surfing the net or watching some tv. I find exercising really boring, but it's fine when you're doing something else. Also walk to the shops instead of driving. You'd be surprised good walking is for you. I do weights in front of t or with my hifi on.
