@skinnylatte Some of the food culture in the US is also part of our weird as fuck class issues where we see people who handle food as subhuman, unskilled and unworthy of pay. And yet...I mean...you need food to live so there's a deep self hatred within our food culture.
Not everyone treats food workers like this but I think it also ties into home cooked food being "woman's work" while dining out or growing food is largely "nonwhite".
It still baffles me because it isn't always as obvious...
