Everyone in the US should be required to spend a year traveling abroad. It would do more to fix this stupid country than all the money being spent by every charity and the government combined.
We'd have to close our borders..

It's always a bit amazing how incredibly stupid many Americans are...about just about everything. I know that this is true of people in other countries on some issues, but not EVERY issue like it is here.
I spent a couple of months in Africa and South America last year, and the average person in both places was much better informed about many issues than the average educated office worker you meet in the US. Sorta floored me that people on the street could have conversations about science and current events and whatnot, and most of them weren't spouting total stupidity.
Everyone in the US should be required to spend a year traveling abroad. It would do more to fix this stupid country than all the money being spent by every charity and the government combined.
And they might learn how to eat food that isn't pasty, spongy crap that has been nuked to hell and back. 
If you want to fix a lot of the food issues in America - make McDonalds, Burger King, Wendys, Taco Bell, Roy Rogers and every other fast-food place off limits and the food served in them off limits to people under age 18. Just treat those places like they're selling cigarettes. That way parents can't feed their kids that siht, and in a generation you will have people hitting adulthood without eating total garbage. Sure some kids smoke before they're 18 and I get that, but the majority won't risk getting caught and the fines for it or for supplying minors with that siht.

Traveling to most European destinations wouldn't be much help, the average person on the street there is almost as stupid as the average American.  |

In my particular case the "burn the siht out of my food" types and the ultra picky eaters have created no end of problems for me in the course of my life, to the point that I pretty much refuse to prepare food for people like that. They can have what I prepare or they can prepare it themselves.
I'm not picky at all btw, I won't make people overcook or specially prepare food for me. Just when I make it myself I'll do it the way I prefer. I'll pretty much always eat what a host has prepared, or try to...

They don't even need to leave the country. America needs to end its xenophobia and war on cultural integration... There are plenty of opportunities to meet people from all over the world, but Americans are told at every turn to hate everyone with an accent or who uses anything other than salt, black pepper or bacon grease to season food...

I understand. Not trying to pick on you in particular. I'm just channeling my earlier annoyance at my GF's picky ass 7 year olod kid who turned his nose up at the delicious hearty beef stew I made today (made of ingredients that at any other time he would have eaten happily) because he knew if he bitched enough he could get his mother to make him something else to eat. Picky kid created by a dumbass picky eating mother who was created by parents who didn't make her grow the fk up.

True that.
Lots of opportunity to learn about the world and life in general right here in the USA....but most people never take advantage of it beyond eating "Chinese food" once in a while.

A mother enabling their kid after whining... say it ain't so... 
I lived with a couple as roommates once, and the gf was trying to gain some cooking skills. It was funny because she was the epitome of a picky eater, and sometimes she would make stuff she would refuse to eat. A couple times she made stuff they would both not want. I watched her almost toss out a whole meal, and was like, stop! I would sooooo eat that, don't waste that isht! In almost every case, I pretty much ate the whole meal. I miss those roommates. Better than military food. She was an ok cook, probably because of how picky she was.
