Its to show he's trapped and forced to deal with it

I'm American and I usually order appetizers and/or split something with someone. Normal entrees are usually to big.
Load More Replies...Even organic food in the States is bad for you. We've poisoned and destroyed our own food supply
I think the point should be, even before organic, on real raw food. Not processed. Real food, like real vegetables and cereals. Honestly a lot of the stuff sold in America wouldn't be considered edible by an Italian
Load More Replies...Actually, it's more the cost of that healthy plate. What we really are is cheap.
Not all Americans are the same ofcourse, as with any stereotypes of anyone. I did experience when visiting Florida that the sizes was gigantic(a couple times ordered food and got enough to feed a family), and saw a "healthy food"-isle at Publix that looked more like the snacks and junk food department in a Norwegian store. Ofcourse many of us Norwegian eats crappy too. Mostly those that are addicted to American food like MacDonalds and stuff though, when I think about it :P
FFS ... they are ALL restrained. "Cultural Torture" being the title of this piece.
While manacled to the wall. Now how did I just know nobody is holding the fetters?
Americans in GENERAL may not be good with healthy food, but this does not speak true for all of us, just as it doesn't in other countries.
No! This is a stereotype, just come to California, its almost the law here to eat properly *L*
This appears to be the only offensive, not fun/quirky one, but if you think 'break their noodles,' 'make them draw imperfect circles,' or 'don't pass the hot sauce,' is actually in the same category, by all means, tell me I'm wrong.
Sorry for two posts, it wasn't posting them, so I had to type it a few times then *poof* there's two posts.

I HATE french serves. And I am Slovak. I need food, not dirty plate.
I've been all over the world, and this is just not true. How it got started as a rumor I can't imagine, but British portions are bigger than ours. Sorry, campers!
Portions in Amsterdam are huge....but they have a good excuse.
Load More Replies...Do you want to know how to REALLY annoy a mexican? Tell us how much you like mexican food followed by "... at Taco Bell".
Lol I'm peruvian and I know many of us would react like that xD I'd be willing to try and be polite though.
If you check the link on the address bar of your browser, you will see something like "cultural-torture-things...", I guess the original title or idea of the post was about torturing people from different countries, but they decided to change the title.

Load More Replies...No, the best way to p**s off the Belgians is to force them to eat American chocolate or drink the American swill
Load More Replies...for british people, get them to make tea but make them put the milk in first. (Im British)
and ask them: "so how do you speak Brazilian?
Load More Replies...England: Make a cup of tea the colour of hearing-aid beige. Wales: Call them English. Scotland: Call them British. Ireland:....actually I can't think of anything that would annoy them
If there was a no one it would be something along the lines of “no gumboots” or “where in Australia are you from” (New Zealand HATES Australia)((I’m a New Zealander))
“No one” was supposed to be NZ
Load More Replies...# 8 Not true! Mexicans hate people think of hard shell tacos, chimichangas, burritos, etc as Mexican food. Also, there's no such thing as street tacos or soft shell tacos. Soft or street tacos are just "Tacos" that is the way they are supposed to be. Never made with flour tortilla, ground beef, sour cream, cheese or lettuce. Are you kidding me?!?!?! The end! LOL
Ways to p**s off a Japanese: 1. Listen to your music loudly in public 2. Ignore elderly people on the train while sitting. 3. Litter. 4. Leave a tip. 5. Don't slurp your noodles. 6. Don't bring a gift to a friend's house 7. Assume that what is shown in anime is true 8. Blow your nose in public 9. Wreak havoc at a shrine 10. Don't speak formally to your elders/employers.
There is no Chilean ceviche what exists is a badly named pisco Chilean that in fact is a poor brandy. Our cultural torture is that they take possession of pisco, lomo saltado, suspiro limeño, etc, And sell it to the world like yours.
I always break spaghetti in two and I'm Italian. We all do except know-it-all food bores (all of them men btw).
This was beyond stupid, stereotypical and obvious... I want 1 minute of my life back.
This is all so . . . cheap. Of course, I should have guessed that from the use of the words "to p**s off people", but I was hoping the writer had ideas that generally transcended eighth grade.
Indonesians: let them eat with their left hand. They wash their butts with it
Nobody dare offend a muslim! They start a riot.
Load More Replies...To p**s off Mexicans, give them American-style hard-shell tortilla chips with meat and assorted vegetables and call it a taco. To p**s off non-Mexico City Mexicans, ask them whether they like their quesadilla with or without cheese. Conversely, to p**s of Mexico City Mexicans, give them a quesadilla with cheese without asking first.
Put in front of ANY Slav vegetarian food , or in front of Bosniak "burek" without meat
In Italian it's "Mamma" with a double "M". If you really want to stereotype us, at least do it properly.
Every nations has the different people... I like American people like Donald Trump, Ivanka Trump, Miranda Lambert and Nicole Kidman, and I do not like John Mccain...
I am from Québec and I will be very pleased if someone ask me if I am from US instead of canada.
Yeah well go be a part of their country then. We won't miss you.
Load More Replies...I am sure that it isn't because these are not differentiating between people based on their race but their nationality. I hope that helps.
