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.

>except they are both grown in the US using such intensive agricultural methods that the produce itself tastes different Not if you go to farmer's markets And it's frankly absurd to suggest that the existence of fast food means all American food is bad. That makes no fucking sense.

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
