WTF is in American Food?!

What actually makes something “American food”?

Is it the bread that doubles as a pillow? The sugar that sneaks into your peanut butter? Or maybe the juice that’s only 5% actual juice?

In this episode of AYSM, Chuck gets serious, but finally gets to air his long-standing grievances about what’s lurking in the American diet — from squishy, cake-like sandwich bread to sugar-loaded breakfast “foods” that could put a dentist’s kid through college.

Brett joins in with some questionable coffee choices (Founders Breakfast Stout for breakfast, anyone?) as the guys dive into how WWII rationing, industrialization, and marketing turned the U.S. food scene into a Franken-snack buffet. Expect hilarious rants, surprising facts, and the eternal question: Why does our bread last longer than some marriages?

🍞 Topics include:

• Why American bread feels like memory foam
• The sugar conspiracy (spoiler: it’s in everything)
• “Juice” that’s barely juice
• Obesity stats that’ll blow your belt buckle
• What Americans really drink every day

💡 Plus: “Something We Learned While Avoiding Real Responsibilities” and a debate about whether tea should ever clean you out.

Grab a beer, grab a snack (maybe read the label first), and join Brett and Chuck for a deep — and ridiculous — dive into WTF is in American Food?!

Cheers!
