I can see what you mean.
A lot of americans are poor and don't know the proper way to feed their family without it involving frozen veg, packets of noodles or bags of chicken nuggets.

Still, liver smells gross, even if it's fresh.

Poor? In the most cash-rich and food-rich country on earth? With endemic obesity?
Ignorance I can accept - you don't value comprehensive education - but you can't blame poverty.

It's a cultural thing. The bulk of the country inherited its "cuisine" from German protestant peasants. Blandness is a virtue and grease is your friend.

I don't claim to know anything about the entire country. I've barely been out of my own state.
But here, where I live, people are poor.
And yes, they're ignorant when it comes to proper nutrition and don't understand how they could possibly feed a family without including kraft mac and cheese.
Which is why we are all fat.

Grease is disgusting, I have food with flavor, I love garlic, my roommate loves ketchup. It's all about how you were raised and whether you're tolerant.
