Ididn’t get the suffocating prevalence of corn sirup in the US from reddit/lemmy, but rather from health resources and people from the US.
For real: all that cultural bashing is pointless to begin with. But claimingthat the US has “the best food” when Italy, the middle and far east exist: come on!
It’s in everything, along with plenty of salt and cancer causing dyes and artificial flavoring. Even our locally sourced, home farm based meats and vegetables are laden with chemicals and virtually zero nutritional value because hardly anyone let’s soil lie fallow, and doesn’t use a tin of Miracle Grow and weed killer. I’m my specific area, you can’t even find chicken feed that’s nutritious for the birds and almost no one free-ranges. The closest you’ll find in my area are a pig that’s given table scraps in addition to feed, and no one knows what’s in either chicken or hog feed, unless it’s cracked corn, and well… You get it.
I’m very sorry and embarrassed most people from my country are this way, and very sorry for how you’ve experienced us itt. I really like Mediterranean and Thai food, though I’m not particularly good at making them from scratch. I did enjoy a decent-enough-for-frozen-but-by-no-means-decent eggplant Parmesan the other day, and the standard American version of pad Thai a couple of months ago, when I was out in a larger town. No lettuce rolls, though.
Check my instance again, smartass.

You seem very… defensive about your choices here.
Come again?
