Why is America so much better than Canada and Mexico?
Only the people saying America is better have come up with actual reasons so far.
Answer
America has capitalism. The latest new cancer medicines were invented in America because of capitalism.
Because of America's strong capitalistic values, most of the stuff in the world was invented by Americans.
And, most Asian countries survive by making copies of U.S. inventions. (China and India both devalue their currency to make their products look less expensive than American products. Japan also devalued its currency in the 1980's.)
American inventions:
Plasma tv, electronic tv, lcd screens, cellphone, digital signal processing (used in all cellphones). Java(used in most cellphones), DVD and CD's (optical recording), computer chips, personal computers, laptop computers, digital audio players, microwave ovens, digital camera, laser printers, inkjet printers, computer hard drives, computer chip manufacturing (America still leads the world in chip making), fluorescent light, advanced LED's, OLED, digital watches, GPS, GPS navigation, mouse, keyboard, operating system, high level computer language, USB, remote controls, MASER, email, transistors,refrigerator,electronic calculators, VCR, internet, telephone, satellite communication, portable communication radios(walkie talkie), digital satellites, stabilized rubber(shoes, condoms, tires, etc), nuclear powerplants, moon rovers, martian rovers, copy machine, best modern medicines, iron furnace stove, electric stove, air conditioning, airplane(engine-powered), computer animation(motion picture), aspartame(sugarless sweetner), assembly line, automated teller machine (ATM), prepared baby food, bag (flat-bottomed paper), bandage (adhesive), barcode, barbed wire, blood bank, blow dryer, bra, bread slicing machine, portable camera, food cans, can openers, cardboard (corrugated). carbon 14 dating, cash register, cat litter, mail order catalogs, breakfast cereal, chewing gum, laptop computer, personal computer, oral contraceptives, cotton gin, crayons, credit card, heart defibrillator, smoke detector, artificial diamond, disposable diapers, dishwasher, drinking fountain, electric chair, modern rocket, escalator, fiberglass, freeze dried food, frozen food, genetic engineering, electric guitar, coat hanger(wire), electric iron, jeans, jello, kevlar, laundromat,lipstick, electric motor, morse code, nylon, paper towel, parking meter, phonograph (records), petroleum jelly, Post-it Notes, potato chips, car radio, electric razor, safety razor, revolver (gun), roller coaster, safety pin, Scotch tape, stapler, first successful steamboat, drinking straw, sunscreen, tampon(cotton), teflon, telegraph, toilet tissue, disposable tissue, tractor, automatic signal lights, viagra, video games, washing machine(electric), computer databases, handheld computers, glass bottle making machine, CCD(digital chips used in all digital cameras) which are used to convert light into pictures(also used in missiles made by the U.S., Russia, and Europe), DSL, CAT Scans "diagnostic X ray systems", laser ranging, laser multiplexing, air brakes, silicon solar cells, digital light processor, digital signal processor(used in all digital telephones), fiber optic wire, nearly all types of lasers, first laser medical treatments, microprocessor, automated telephone switches, radiator, modem, word processor, ethernet, 3-D computer graphics, nuclear submarines, liquid fuel rocket (invented in 1910's), etc.
Also, most of the chips made in Asia are still designed in America.

Staying healthy in Central America?
Getsbetter
I will be traveling to El Salvador in a months' time. I have gone before and got a little sick from the food and water. I tried to avoid it as much as possible but it still got to me. As far as eating, what's the best solution: shopping for a few items and cooking them myself, or eating in mainstream restaraunts(instead of the street vendors, and little "kitchens")? I will be on a tight budget, so I can't go to high end places.
Is there a way I can boost my immune system to survive the trip as healthily as possible, or vaccine, or supplement I can take? Also, I will be taking my nursing 7 month old along with me. I'm thinking keeping her on the breast the whole time will cut out as much exposure she gets to possible sickness? I will be there for a week.
Answer
I haven't been to El Salvador but I imagine it's basically the same as Mexico and my home country, the Philippines. Given the tight budget, I guess staying at the Hilton is out of the question. LOL
Seriously, I would suggest you splurge on bottled water and canned foods (or what you said, do your own cooking). You'll breeze through the one-week stay just fine...you'll be okay.
I'm more concerned about the baby. It's really a good idea to breastfeed her - just to be on the safe side. Just make sure that even before you leave, she's already used to breastmilk so the transformation would not be so sudden. And also, bring lots and lots of diapers......her skin may not take too kindly to the local brands (and the familiar brands maybe costly). And don't forget her usual colds meds (consult her pedia) - some babies don't adjust well with weather changes.
Re: something to boost your immune system...consult your family doc...I'm sure there's something out there for you...be sure to mention that you'd be nursing your baby.
Have a safe trip and have fun........God bless.
