Do you want to know a joke? Middle easterners, Mexicans etc. hate the USA with their guts but all drink unreal amounts of Coca Cola instead of water :lol: The only countries where I saw people drink water only during, after the meal were Italians/Spaniards/Portuguese. Juice is regarded by them as sweets.
Enforcing food standards is a start. You have to start somewhere.
Italy and France noticeably have food that has less ingredients or similar ingredients in many dishes and often I hear the same reaction of it has less taste than the food we're used to in North America but it tastes of higher quality.
and that as one user already said is likely due to the amount North American's tastebuds or brain response has been impacted via these addicting ingredients / substances that are part of so much processed foods now.
