Taking more food from Europe!

You can find this in most major grocery stores, its imported from Switzerland, I have made these for years with german meals.
The average american diet can be described as somewhat unhealthy, lots of french fries, potato chips, hot dogs, pizza, pasta and fast food. Most of our foods have evolved from European food but have been cheapened down to fit into the fast paced society, Americans produce more and work more than any other country and our GNP shows that, we have basically sacrificed a quality diet of healthy food for time and convienience. You are exactly what you eat, Mexico is the fattest country on earth due to their extreme consumption of animal fat, contrary to popular propoganda Mexico is not a poor nation but the wealth is in the hands of a few and cheap unhealthy food is where its at, plagued with corruption and brutality America is the safety valve where the bottom of their society flees so america is number two gaining quick. The quality of ethnic food should be judged by its health value, although I may like a BBQ pork taco and deep fried pork skins unless I want to look like "Pepe the huge" I better stay clear of too much of that. So as you search for new foods as I do, I do not believe that every family should have a list of fifteen dinners they rotate endlessly with zero imagination, so I look to Europe to provide some new ideas. I already eat a good deal of German dishes, Americanized italian dishes, some Chinese, Irish and English etc. Its amazing how much great food is out there we never try, and if you think about it, "eating" is a huge part of life, I am going on a crusade to find some new stuff, or better stuff, not too many Americans eat German Spaetzle, its a potato noodle, its fast and easy and better than uhh! "mashed potatoes" blaaah! and real Italian food is far better than the American tomato sauce type dumped on some spaghetti noodles, most Italian food has zero tomatoes. Have to get out of the food rut, most of Europe is healthier than America because they eat far better, I think this is where to look for some new ideas.
I have made these quite a bit in differant variations, I cannot yet match the great taste of the stuff out of the box.
Spaetzle- http://www.germanfoods.org/consumer/pastafacts.cfm
I started making these from scratch last fall, filled with sauerkraut, or potato and onion, or potato and cheese etc. they are killer, you can also fill them with meat or whatever, Polish food is close to German in many ways, its all good.
Whats wrong with the american diet?-http://www.ahealthyme.com/topic/usdiet

Enjoyed the article on the American diet.This is sad, but true. Another problem is we eat so late in the day. Before our homes only had candlelight to prepare food. With the onset of electric lights, people eat later in the day, too close to bedtime, giving not much time to burn off calories. In Europe the main meal of the day is a lot earlier than we have in America.

Hi there thiѕ is kinԁа of off topic but Ӏ was wanting tο know іf blogs use WYЅIWYG editors or
