This is the exact quote I came here to respond to, and it’s a shame you’re getting downvoted for it. Your average town of 10,000 people just about anywhere in the US will have a pretty decent Vietnamese or Korean restaurant, a great taqueria, a boba place, a craft brewery, a couple of hipster coffee joints, along with the stereotypical American fast food that you would expect. It’s not 1990 anymore. Immigration, internal migration, and the internet has made our palates pretty diffuse nationally. That said, some of the statements in the blog post feel valid. The average American probably has access to a broader, more interesting, and arguably better variety of food than the average person in France, but the average eaten meal is almost certainly worse and less healthy, as we prioritize speed and convenience out of either necessity or preference.
