I tend to agree. The country in which it was invented, or the nationalities of those who invented it, are not relevant at all.
You might include the country if it was newsworthy. Such as new evidence that “The Roman Empire invented the table fork”.
I think sub-editors put country descriptors in as mild click bait. Japan is perceived as having an interesting record of niche eye raising inventions. If it was “France invents an electric spoon that makes food seem sweeter” I am not sure I’d be as ready to visit that article as this one.
- tssva 4y agoThe country in which it was invented is relevant because it was invented to address health concerns caused by the common diet within the country.
