There was a phrase in the recent Netflix show "Recruit" - everything in America tastes like sugar and everyone's struggling. Having lived in Finland, SE Asia, and Calfornia it's completely true. We mask our real issues and replace them with processed foods, drugs, and entertainment. I hope as a society we wake up to our coping mechanisms and lift up our communities, I can teach good values to my kids as my parents taught me but it'll get lost eventually.
