Of all people, Americans should be last to criticise any country's cuisine. I mean, without even going into the ruthless exporting of crap like McDonalds and KFC, who gave the world grits, chitterlings, processed cheese, hot dogs, Cheez Whizz, squirrel brains, chocolate that smells and tastes like sick, Spam, refried beans, meat-free strips of fat dubiously known as "bacon", corn syrup in everything, chipped beef, macaroni & cheese, I could go on...
No offense intended but you have no clue about American cuisine. Our fast food is no worse than fast food found elsewhere in the world. You don't believe go to Tijuana and buy a burrito from a street vendor.
