    Americans do not consume nutrition. They do not even consume flavor.

    When Americans eat, they consume marketing and quantity. They eat aesthetics. The main criteria for food for Americans is having a coherent distinguishable form, and a color scheme like you would see in an ad.

    My classmates in high school would look at my lunch and say “That looks like puke”, while consuming ungodly reconstituted concoctions of animal products that still manage to be bland, or dipping extremely greasy pizza in ranch or bbq sauce.
