Why does the U.S. hate food?

even in mexico you can get some good food for $3

>instant stock
>dried noodles
>processed fish waste + corn starch
>a quail egg

There are plenty of places in the US where you can get real food made from recognizable ingredients for cheap. The problem is that we were an early adopter of both industrialized food production and fast food, which led to some pretty awful standards. And in some places that's the only cheap, convenient food available.

Plenty of other countries (Japan, Italy, France) had well established food cultures before their food production was industrialized, which made the people less likely to settle for the cheapest shit possible. In America giving too much of a shit about food quality is seem as pretentious, so many people happily settle for the cheapest possible shit.

Yes, you can usually find fresh food for cheap in 3rd world countries.

I have a Mexican place and a soup place right down the street from me that are both cheap and good, I live in the suburbs of metro Detroit Michigan USA

Both better than the meme that is "throw everything that does not go together in a bowl" Jap soup

>$4 in U.S. $3 in Japan
And those are both equally unhealthy for you. So I get my heart disease for a dollar cheaper in Japan. Whoopee.

That makes sense since $3 is $30 Mexico dollars

that's because we make more
food doesn't automatically cost more when you're rich

>measuring costs across countries by the dollar rather than purchasing power parity

>noodles in broth with an egg is just as bad for you as a fast food cheeseburger

user, you know it's not the same as your microwave ramen, right?

>sodium, carbs and cholesterol are worse than sodium, carbs and cholesterol

Anyone know why so many Asian dishes just throw a fried egg in there? It's so totally incongruous and seems to be done just to make the dish not seem skimpy. To me, that's like putting a handful of corn on every plate you make.

It also doesn't match up, flavor-wise.

Salt, fat, and cholesterol. Almost no nutritional content, and a hint of vegetable to fool you into thinking you're eating food. Just because it's Asian doesn't mean it's healthy.

...

What the fuck are you talking about? America has the cheapest food in the developed world. I'm jelly.

The egg, noodle and salt water isn't any more healthy or filling than the burger btw.

actual meat vs noodles, egg and processed shrimp tasting shit

With soups, the yolk can be used to thicken the broth.

But yeah there's some fuck-random egg additions.

makingh that ramen is like 30 cents user

and it costs mcdonalds about $0.30 to make a burger

Most of these are about a dollar in exchange, id much rather have that than a dollar menu burger from mcdonalds

probobably to add some calories and make it more filling... egg doesnt change flavor of things it goes with anything

imagine the soup without the egg that wouldnt be very satisfying

>this low quality fried meat with sugar sauce is healthier than that low quality meat with cheese

the average yakitory stick has about 2g of fat and 400g of sodium, a mcdonads burger has about 20g of fat and 1000g of sodium.

> kobe, japan
> eat meat
> a fucking small piece maybe 50 grams

pic related is mfw i had to pay 120 €

WHY DO AMERICANS DO THIS?

>yfw we have everything under the sun, even whatever shit food you think is relevant.
Keep eating dirt faggot.

A lot of the bowls of ramen I got in Tokyo were about 1000 yen. But I couldn't read Japanese so I just picked some of the more expensive options usually.

>cue someone calling me a retard for spending 1000 Yen on a bowl of noodles

I have enough disposable income to both travel the world and not worry about the money I spend while doing so

Price doesn't really show quality accurately.

I got one of the more amazing bowls of pho for 50 cents in an alleyway in Saigon.

>Saigon

Yeah, things were cheaper half a century ago.

I was there just a year ago.

My family has never called Saigon by its modern name, so I haven't.

>US
>hates food

we make about 2 grand more on average than in japan. that doesn't account for the fact that japanese people spend twice what americans do on their food.

Except taco shops,just walk in four tacos to go.

I would rather have the dollar menu at mcdonalds. unfortunately they don't have the dollar menu anymore.

That's capitalism you shitlord.
Don't like it, git out.

we get paid more in US

if you want good food in the US pay more for the food + tip

i can get much more ramen than that for less than 3 dollars

>their low class eats better than out middle class

When other nations were at war, they starved

When USA was at war, they developed industrial pig slop to keep the masses fed and prevent food riots

When the wars ended, other countries went back to good food. USA decided frankenfood=victory slop, so if you don't like it your a communist

Brits never went back to their pre-slop days.
Everything they eat is still brown, bland and boiled.

>NVA detected

>400g of sodium
>1000g of sodium

Big mac is 2 for 5$ senpai

>400g of sodium
>1000g of sodium

meant mg, but still stands.

not here in way upstate new york.

Of course it does, that's basic capitalism. The prices will be set to whatever consumers can and are willing to pay.

Mexico has a failing currency.

someone's insecure

>80 bucks at ur moms house, and only for an hour

>itt

Weeabo's vs Americlaps

Everyone kill themselves

Other countries take more pride in serving food than America does, and the majority of America is only interested in eating the food.

the big mac is one of the worst price to food things you can get at mcdonalds. it's expensive because of the name. Each burger place has that, their "signature big burger" is a ripoff and if you're trying to get the most food for your buck, you stick with the double cheese burger.

maguro frisbee don
$5.5 in Japan

>i just rounded up.
You mean it was you who made this retarded picture?

Why are you such a faggot?

b-b-but muh superior gook cuisine

that jap food looks like top ramen with old brocoli and an egg thrown in.

literally shit-tier food

actually they sell bigass tortas and bigass hamburgers at 10 pesos roughly $1 american

A double cheeseburger costs $1.35 in IN where I was raised. Nigga you high?

Also, I live in Japan. You're full of shit. Decent ramen costs around 750 yen. :

>one contains 8 oz meat
>the other contains none
Is this so hard to understand?

>"meat"

also that was just one of many noodle options, a lot of them have beef pork or chicken in them for around the same price.

mcdonalds burgers are 100% meat, a variety of people have the technology to know whether or not they are, it's not like companies can hide that anymore. it may not be the best meat, but it is meat, which costs money.

Wow, you can get a 1/2 oz sliver of pork instead of an egg! Why are weeaboos so delusional?

LOL WHY IS BEEF MORE EXPENSIVE THAN AN EGG AND SOME NOODLES?????? STUPID FAT AMERICANS

I'm not really arguing for or against anything. I just think this was funny.

I'm just proactive

""""""""""""beef""""""""""

>cheap ramen with instant broth, a tiny little egg, some over cooked veg and a slice of tubed fish goo

You can make that in the US (while avoiding the gross veg/cake) for like a dollar.

I traveled down the east coast of your united states early this year. You have some amazing food for pretty reasonable price. Just look around user.

This. If you don't love it, then leave!
>MAGA
>implying America ever stopped being great

but i cant make a burger with 30 cents can i?

Ramen is something americans are more likely to make at home. Firing up a grill just to make one burger is kinda dumb. I'm curious as to which country eats out more. Also, does everyone really believe that Americans eat fast food more than a few times a month?

most of the people in the US live in third world tier poverty

>$4 for filling protein
>$3 for a bowl of carbs

Why do the nips get away with this?

Yeah but a jap worker drone isn't plowing down that bowl of soup while driving their shitty SUV for an hour to get to or from their shitty job. I seriously think fast food in the US grew with the growth of the car culture, as most of the time people are scarfing down fast food sandwiches in their car.

>fast food sandwich
>filling protein
Oh come on now.

do us all a favor and kill yourself

>>fast food sandwich
>>filling protein
>Oh come on now.

are you retarded? That's the only appeal of fast food; quick filling calories for the poor or frugal.

what the fuck

$4 in US

Thank you Mexicans.

buy a mcwrap those are like 4$ to 5$ depends were u live

Still shitty.

Why do you need somebody to cook your food for you?

If I'm going to eat out I'll get sushi or greek food or something fun and delicious like that, not a fast food burger.

>1000g
This happens when you only measure your ingredients in spoons and cups.

A fast food burger isnt about eating out. Its about not having enough time.

>$4
I assume you mean each? Last week, I paid $25 for a plate of tacos like that

I think it was a pretty good deal

fuck off commie

>cardboard mixed with hooves and beaks
>processed shit-tier bun

White corn..... reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
