Is it weird that I think differently about food not from the US as being strange or inferior?

As in like it's weird to me that it's not grown or made or processed in the US, and somehow stuff here is better.

Well the US isn’t exactly known for their food quality so maybe yeah, it’s a bit weird. On the other hand I feel like this is a common thing in other countries too. In my country stores and companies brag about food made/grown/raised in this country. It’s a selling point. Many people only buy meat, dairy, fruit and vegetables from here even when it’s more expensive. Even food from our neighbouring country is looked down upon and sold cheaper. I’ve seen the same selling tactics when I’ve been abroad - stores and companies bragging that the food is local/from within that country.

I know people who will avoid buying products that are imported from certain countries they are biased towards, including those who refuse to buy products that imported from their birth country etc...

Me, I believe geographic diversity means vitamin and mineral diversity and I welcome meals from foreign countries, such as those vegetables that do not grow in Canada and are imported from other places in the world.

so you think high fructose corn sirup and sugar which is like 70% of all food in the US is "superior"?

A lot of the food we consume here is imported. Foods that we eat sometimes grow easier elsewhere.

Feeling that way about food is not uncommon, but exploring global cuisines can offer incredible insight. Every culture has its unique flavors and culinary traditions, shaped by history, climate, and culture. For instance, my visit to a remote village in Japan to try their homemade miso was unforgettable. The depth of flavor seemed impossible from just simple ingredients. Each dish tells a story and broadens our understanding of the world. Embracing different cuisines can lead to many delightful discoveries. 🍱🍝

American food is definitely best in america, but that also makes me question what you eat that makes you believe all ethnic cuisines aside from the “all-american” stuff is inherently inferior lol

Your taste buds just get accustomed to what your fed. Even if something is better quality it'll taste strange to you.

Ironically, food that's from the US is much worse for you, contains more additives, has less nutrients and is over processed

[RedInnocent69]

Yes. You’re wrong. US food is overly processed and often full of garbage chemicals

[jahaims]

America uses the harshest chemicals on their foods
