Quick question for Americans whats the deal with all the sugar in everything, when I was in Iowa with my cornfed cuz I decided I would try the "local exotic cuisine" and eat a waffle for breakie. Big mistake far too sweet with all the stuff lathered over it.

I nearly died with the sweetness and oversalting going on in everything, it seemed like everything had waaayy more sugar/salt than I was used to.(and were not exactly noted for health food here but I still suffered)

Oh and I nearly died from withdrawl symptoms from the lack of strong tea.
