A Stranger In My Own Strange Land

I wonder what visiting foreigners think of this country.
We have huge supermarkets with a hundred thousand different products--and down the street "health food" stores selling real food.
We have public schools in every community--and down the street public "charter schools" offering a real education.
We have bakeries and breweries--and down the street "craft" businesses selling real bread and beer.
Foreigners must find this strange. I live here, and I do.

Along those lines, we have 10 different brand names of canned green beans to choose from, 200 different brands of automobiles, a gazillion choices of pizzas, but only 2 major political parties to choose from.

Which aren't all that different from each other.
