Is American food even real at all?
To me, it comes off as "FAKE" due to the amount of artificial ingredients or preservatives used. Fanta elsewhere for instance looks very different to it's American counterpart, for instance I've seen it in Europe and that appeared more like orange juice as they don't endorse the idea of "adding corn syrup and orange food coloring with soda" replacing that with actual squeezed oranges and carbonated water.

It would immediately taste different to those who come from countries where food tends on using organic & real ingredients (or buying fresh produce from markets) rather than all the "FAKE" crap since their palate is not accustomed on eating food laced with artificial ingredients. Is it it just me: feeling ill for having American "food" as if poison was injected (even on the produce), well... they use pesticides on crops.

This is all nonsense. The US does have good food including all natural or organic just like everywhere else, its more expensive but its readily available everywhere i go and farmers markets are all over the place.

No such thing as organic. Cross pollination is rampant, glyphosate is found in rainwater, chemtrails raining down on anything grown outside.

All countries have good food. I suppose the issue is how many people eat it? Several countries are well known for consuming junk food - the USA and UK to name but two.
We both have normal real food and fake processed food. Its just a matter of telling the difference.
It’s called flavor sir. Just because I get a few extra years off my life doesn’t mean it’s not flavor

It's literally poison.

With that definition most food on earth is fake. Not just muricans.

You can choose real food though.

Most of the "artificial ingredients" some of you point to ain't even artificial ingredients, they're just the scientific name for things. If someone said there was sodium chloride in your soup, you'd be like "omg, chemicals!" Many of the food related threads on here have already shown me most don't even know what fructose is.
your favorite haute cuisine probably came out of a 1950s recipe book and was a flash fad for 1-2 months.
