Exactly correct. Most of us grow up eating cheap, crappy bread and simply continue the habit. There is plenty of really good bread out there but most people are content with the mass produced supermarket fluff.
A lot of the "European mystification" about US eating habits boil down to the fact that we have a lot of really cheap food available. Given a choice, most people choose cheap over good for daily usage.

Given a choice, most people choose cheap over good for daily usage. I think there is - as always - some truth behind what you call "European mystification", or at least the US people coming here (Italy) wouldn't be going "Wow" (like they almost invariably do) when entering a good (but common enough) bakery shop or at the restaurant (or even when eating a "real" pizza). Or maybe they are only very kind, in order to compliment us, but anyway they generally give the impression they never ate some "good" food.
- rblatz 5y agoProbably because most of those people never go to a good bakery or pizza place at home.
- HeyLaughingBoy 5y agoI think this is exactly what it is.
