Really, I thought S.A. was number one for rape.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

"American cuisine"? You mean "pizza," for instance?

Clearly that "tough on crime" thing is working out pretty well.

Not sure how I feel about Puerto Rico being listed separately from the United States.

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.

The bottom left statistic causes all the rest. McDonalds food cotains exobrometheatecide which slowly poisons your soil.

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?

Prison population too easy a target, it should be non-violent offenders.

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.
