I dunno, I like tomatoes.
But American food is bad. It’s very low hanging fruit, but American food can barely be called food at all.

I disagree. I really like biscuits and gravy, Taco Bell chalupas, banana bread, and fried okra, just to list a few.

I can say with 100% certainty that those exist here in Europe made with less junk ingredients.

No, it’s not. You people are regurgitating propaganda.
You people conflate the availability of junk food with unavailability of a wealth of cheap globalized fresh food available to all but a small portion of the population.
And there is the other end where NYC, Chicago, and LA don’t go toe to toe with some of the best food on the planet.
But yeah, we have a lot of McDonald’s too so that must mean that’s all we got 🙄.

It’s not propaganda, your food is just shit. Worse than even some third world countries I’ve visited.
Oh sure, I could walk into a privately owned restaurant and get a well cooked meal, like anywhere else in the world. But I’m not talking about exceptional restaurant food. I’m talking about regular food a regular person can buy from a regular supermarket.
A lot of your food is straight up illegal here in Europe because your FDA thinks it’s just fine to have potentially cancer-causing ingredients in food. The FDA is only just now considering banning an ingredient you use in sliced bread that yoga mats are made of. If there is a version of an American product here in Europe, then it’s always a version that contains a fraction of the filler ingredients you have over there, usually significantly reduced sugar (or no sugar at all, because apparently your country just loves adding sugar to things where it doesn’t belong) and is always superior for it.
Hell, even junk food like McDonald’s and Burger King is forced to be reasonable with their ingredients or they will literally be banned from doing business in the EU. Oh no! tHe wHOle WorLD BeLIEVes 'mURica is Shit! Cry me a fucking river.
