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’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.
Living in the EU as an American there is a very real sense of superiority that Europeans hold over their american counterparts. Blaming it on bots is disingenuous
But one of the things Russian troll farms are paid to do is spread general anti-American sentiment. I’m not trying to explain away the comments; I’m describing a real thing that happens.
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.
Food deserts exists because white ppl didn’t like the idea of brown ppl having the access to the same benefits they receive. American food culture doesn’t exist without brown ppl. A country that thrives on multiculturalism doesn’t exist without a love of food. The problem is racism gets in the way of its true potential
