- Spooky23 2y agoI don’t follow this too closely, but having been in Europe for a few weeks, the food tastes noticeably better and is often cheaper than the US. One of the things you notice is shorter ingredient lists on prepared food. The ingredients in Italy for McDonald’s French fries are: potato, salt, oil. In the US there’s 7-8 including hydrogenated soybean oil and flavor/color agents. Oreos were similarly different, and arguably better tasting. I believe they regulate flavors and coloring additives differently, and many people feel both of these type of items can be problematic.
