It doesn’t help that our American food quality/standards basically suck. What the FDA allows in our food is criminal! Have you noticed the food coloring names have been changed? Gone are Red 40, Blue 5 - in name only. Now they are allowed to use benign names tho the dye didn’t change one bit.
Much of our food can’t be sold in Europe , due to their realistic food quality standards. Even our fast food chains there had to leave out/change the recipe to sell there. GMO is a clear example.
Don’t get me started on our restaurant suppliers. Ever notice the Sysco truck stopping at both high end and low end restaurants?

Preaching to the choir here, every word you wrote is not an exaggeration. People who travel abroad really pick up on that quickly (that we are actually being slowly fed food designed to cause chronic illness, increase diabetes and high blood pressure. Dyes in everything, to make peas green ? To color soda that needs no coloring, it's already flavored, the dye color adds nothing. Most people are not even aware that just a morning bowl of dry cereal can take up most of the day's sodium intake and who really eats 1/2 or 1/3 a cup of dry cereal. Have you ever looked up the ingredients in most prepared salad dressing ? Shocking when you look of those strange words you can't pronounce !
