[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone who doesn't believe US food sucks v rest of world is in denial.  That is all.

The biggest factor among many is that culturally food matters in other countries more than in US.  As simple as this fact - in Asia and Europe and Islands and LAtAm, people take meals seriously.  Here in the US, most people do not.  Lunch is school for example is grossness for our kids.  In other countries adults would be eating better having school food than adult food in the US!!!

My kid in US knows chicken tenders, pizza and spaghetti.  Take any other country and their kid will eat a whole lot more variety and better.  This is 100% true.[/quote]

Yup, it's insane the garbage we feed our kids. Compare our kids' foods to South Korea or Japan where everything is freshly made:

Most American kids would not eat that food, even if provided/funded.  This is a cultural issue, unfortunately. [/quote]

They wouldn't, and that is because most people don't raise kids to have a taste for healthy food. And I find that the people who complain the most bitterly about American diets tend to be overweight, which suggests that they, themselves aren't living up to their own standards. [/quote]

My experience is the opposite, the people who complain the most about American diets are the ones who purchase only organic, whole foods, etc. It's easy to eat organic and whole foods when you have the money though.[/quote]

I’ve lived all over the world, including developing countries. Most people—even the poor ones—eat whole food and actually cook. It’s the opposite here in the land of convenience. [/quote]
