@sickburnbro it doesn't help that the entire food chain in the US is run by the sort of guy who asked 'how much saw dust can you put in rice krispies before people notice' in the high school science fair. it's all a race to the bottom to see who can provide as much volume as possible at the lowest cost as possible to feed the ever growing masses of retarded third worlders and nigger cattle the US has. you can put in any amount of petrochemical derivatives and cellulose and dyes as you want so long as you don't mark your food as intended for use on humans. it even infects good restaurants since if they're not growing their own stuff locally they'll get the tyson special chickens that have been bred to produce nothing but breast meat via steroids in tiny cages that taste like nothing and the hothouse tomatoes and cucumbers

going abroad is nice because you pay a reasonable price most of the time and get something that actually tastes like food
