What do you mean by countries that take food seriously? I lived in a few different countries (never in the US) and can't really picture that
If food is viewed and enjoyed as an experience rather than a necessity as a culture, I think it leads to huge shifts in so many aspects of daily living.
I dont mean EVERY meal but getting together with neighbors, family, friends ect. is more common in places like Italy for example.
The US also has literal holidays centered around sharing a meal with friends or family. Thanksgiving turkey, 4th of July barbecue...
I'd wager the reason people eat in 10 minutes instead of an hour is the same as it is everywhere else: after an 8 hour workday, you feel like all you've got between work and sleep is a few hours and you don't want to waste it on something boring like eating.
That very American response speaks for itself.
I'm not American, I'm Estonian lmao, but I bet you're one of those Americans who wants to seem cultured so you talk about how much better things are in other countries? Am I wrong?
Edit: Nvm, Canadian - but up till like 2 months ago you guys were America Lite tbh
Estonia is Russia lite my bro. Or Poland lite. Take your pick I guess. Whoever owned your ass the most recently.
