    We Americans flavor all our cheap food with fat, oil and sugar. What happened to all the other flavoring agents that won't get you fat? Like fresh herbs, wine and spices?

    It is up to YOU as what YOU put on your foods. You can choose whatever you want to add everything is available. Where did you get the idea that those things you mentioned were not available?

    I'm not sure there is a single American food because we're a nation of immigrants. There are a lot of regional foods and Americanized versions of different ethnic cuisines, some good some not so good.

    I don't have any argument as far as British food goes that does generally suck. I actually think it was a major motivation for the expansion of the British Empire--they had to conquer other countries in order to get some decent cuisine.

    yeah, I'm gonna guess that whatever they are eating fresh in the Amazon jungle or the plains of Arfica is gonna taste a whole worse. I am never ever eating roasted spider. EVER! Don't care how fresh it it. EVER!

    Mcds are everywhere because they make the most money selling low grade food doctored with fatty greasy flavoring agents cheap and poor people find acceptable. Even delicious!
