Most certainly seconded. I also need to know if it's based on total rates or per capita to account for differences in population. One also needs clearer information on crime rates since what can be defined as a crime is incredibly varied.
Come on now, the United States is home to many great foods such as New England clam chowder, New York cheesecake, key lime pie, Chicago-style hot dogs, Tex-Mex, Cajun/Creole, BBQ, many different styles of pizza, California rolls, southern fried chicken and not to mention American Indian veggies like tomatoes, potatoes, and corn.
I'm pretty sure Canada or Australia have a higher per capita CO2 emission. I can't imagine the per capita rate on rape here is higher than some other countires. Were these normalized by population?
Precisely. The CO2 emissions per capita put us at number 5, while total is at number 1. The US is one of the largest countries in the world, therefore it follows that our total emissions would be higher.
I would have thought Canada especially would have had a higher per capita CO2 emission level, but if that chart includes the U.S. military it makes sense.
Heating costs, almost entirely. But now that you've asked the question, it could be that those are at least in large part balanced by extra cooling costs in the south. And America is actually more rural than Canada so there is probably more per capita driving, as well.
Considering that many American chefs are French trained, it's really silly to say that France offers something that the States don't. Besides, comparing Paris to, say, Youngstown, Ohio, doesn't work. Compare Paris to New York or Chicago, and it's competitive. For variety of expertise, I suspect the American cities would win.
Besides, in reality, the States are famous for haute cuisine. We have some of the most inventive and radical chefs in the world, in part because we they aren't bound by a long-standing food culture like France has.
I disagree. Peanut butter and cheese do awesome things when they're melted together. For instance a peanut butter and cheese sandwich is disgusting, but if you toast that shit it become teh awesomes.
