US processed foods are of inferior quality due to FDA permitting all sorts of questionable additives.

Meat processing standards are also different. Along with other agricultural regulations are more permissive in the US.

Taste is subjective of course but people do report that EU food is "better" subjectively Also, if we go by something that can be compared apples to apples, so to say. People report that McDonald's burgers taste better... well pretty much everywhere but the US, McDonalds is straight up nasty in the US lol

With that being said, if you wan good shit, you can go out and buy the good shit if 1) you know what to look for 2) have sufficient buying power, as you will quality realize that the things you want to eat costs money.

There is always rice & beans classic for the poors mixed with veg is pretty healthy and relatively cheap but expecting a red-blooded, alpha daddy American male to it a like a mexican pussy is just not acceptable attitude to have around this here country!
