    The US lives in a weird food bubble where they eat absolute cancer inducing garbage and pretend their Cheetos Asbestos Blasted Quattro Dioxin dinner is somehow better lmao.

    The US allows all sorts of fucked up processing steps and ingredients that are straight up banned in Europe.

    Every time an American leaves the country they gush about how good the food in (destination) was - but they only ate tourist trash the whole time.

    Like they genuinely don’t realize it, it’s incredible.

      The food and beverage industry feeds Americans garbage our entire lives to save on food costs, then the healthcare industry bankrupts us when we get sick after a lifetime of eating and drinking mass quantities of sugar and various poisons.

        If you have ate vegetables as most have had them they are gross.

          Yeah, “vegetable medley” from a school cafeteria is a special kind of disgusting. Even restaurants will serve gross canned green beans or bland boiled veggies. If you don’t learn to cook for yourself it’s easy to never learn that veggies can actually taste good and don’t have to be treated as a necessary evil.
