except they are both grown in the US using such intensive agricultural methods that the produce itself tastes different. US meat is banned in many countries because it’s considered not suitable for human consumption.

on top of that, US fast food franchise culture has destroyed whatever food culture there was.

food is something you eat multiple times a day, if a good American meal is something you have once in a while, it doesn’t count, if Americans eat fast food garbage every day, that’s American food.

there are many large systemic issues that make the American diet garbage. not just “America bad”. Blame corporations and capitalism and all the politicians that were bribed to allow this to happen.

Not if you go to farmer’s markets

  This is the type of guy who grabs strawberries from the supermarket in February, doesn’t wonder how they got their, and compares them to farm fresh in season strawberry. The ability to have a planets worth of diverse food year round is lost on them because they had a shitty supermarket fruit out of season once

  it is so amazing how you prove my point and pat your back.
  
  there is good food only if you are rich, because nearly all American food is garbage.
  
  yhea, good produce should be the bare fucking minimum, not the maximum.
  
  I am not judging food culture based on what the rich can afford, or for one special meal. but for what everyone eats.

    I’ve got bad news then: 90% of everyone’s food fucking sucks. Hope you enjoy the fine cuisine of flatbreads, rice, and an occasional dish that stretches an animal protein so thin you forget it’s there. If you’re lucky there might be some months old fermented junk to season it.
    
    Or maybe you’re just racist and assume that every noble savage has access to fresh fish, fruit and veggies year-round?

    i lived in Spain for 18 years, 3 in Palestine, and currently in the US.
    
    90% of the food over there is amazing, even if plant based, and the way you dismiss good regular food is sad and telling.
    
    good food belongs to everyone, it shouldn’t be a luxury, it’s the bare minimum. if you disagree you’ve been brainwashed by American corporations.

You still are clearly not accounting for how large in area the country is. There are farms that meet whatever standards you are deeming superior. Just because there’s a lot of fast food doesn’t mean there are no high class restaurants.

Europeans love to talk mad shit about how Americans know so little about other countries then drop comments like this, it’s frankly incredible
