Pro, take a close look at what's in your diet: vitamin B group, Zinc and protein are brain foods (leaving out Foline for the moment, as that's a recent discovery). The yank diet is carefully made without these - yet they're found in the Atlantic Blue Crab, that the elite eat. It's a very simple system.

I hope your diet is as good quality food as possible (I know not every american eats just that diet, I've chatted online with yanks who grow some of their own food, but they seem the minority). But then there's your education system: competing for lowest cost, when in every civilized country there's a standardised curriculum and I'm well aware of the problem with what I just said:

One of the factors in the French Revolution was the official dictionary, controlled by catholic priests and monks it wasn't organised alphabetically, but by subject, that way it was a simple tool of population control, of mind control (organising a dictionary alphabetically is protestant, often called 'the English manner' as one was published and gained wide currency in England first, but it was previously done by a protestant (possibly Pierre Bayle?), whose dictionary never gained wide currency as it's 90% quotes and notes, cleverly presenting himself as a detached observer to a debate, he couldn't be charged with heresy, yet the dictionary was a hand grenade that rocked the French intelligentsia, sending them on the path to the revolution.

Now about your dictionary: do you accept that Australia, Britain and the rest of the Commonwealth are democracies, even though we have a monarchy? If not, your pretend English dictionary is to blame.

Would you prefer I use a caveat when I say yanks? 'Stereotype yanks'? 'Establishment yanks'?
