Comment on My culture also loves music, dancing and telling stories
moakley@lemmy.world 20 hours agoThere are large sections of the US that don’t have consistent access to great food, so crappy fast food is what they get.
Then there are other parts of the US where the fast food is amazing. Also the other food.

Comments like OP usually come from Europeans who just want to shit on America. I live abroad in Europe and I can tell you their food has just as much crap in it as ours. Plus fast food is everywhere in the cities. The key difference is access to healthy food and a higher standard of living. No food deserts or high cost of living to make fast food your only real option.
If America didnt like food it wouldn’t have so many different food cultures to begin with

I appreciate your perspective.
I’ll do you one better and say that a lot of times it comes from chronically online Americans who got their opinion from said Europeans. And at least some of the time it’s from third world bots whose marching orders are to spread any and every kind of anti-American sentiment.
Lately I just prefer to put the opposing idea out into the aether rather than try to dig into a whole online argument… thing.

But that’s my point. There is access to healthy food and there are no food deserts because people care about food. Of course there is still crappy food.
