Comments on: Food Philosphy http://www.experimentalchefery.com/food-philosphy/ It's like food, but more risky!

While Americans do value convenience above all, that is not to say that they do not value other things about their meals. Americans also value "value", that is how much they are getting for their money. While Italians may aim for the best quality food, Americans want the best quality they can afford in relation to their other life goals. This seems to me to be a prudent balance. Americans are also far more influenced by the East (e.g. Japan) than the Europeans are. Americans value the texture and novelty of their food much more than the Europeans. But it still must come at a good price. We've many other things to buy than food! And American cheese, far from being a monstrosity, is reveled for three reasons -- it tastes good, melts easily, and is no more expensive than cheddar. It's also completely natural, having no artificial ingredients. Your cheese sensor is set to "Snob", and you should work to reset it and enjoy life. I don’t totally agree.
