As an American that has traveled to many places, why would Europe want any type of American food. I felt like most countries I’ve traveled to especially in central and South America and places like Italy the food is more farm to table and by far way more healthier. Have you ever seen Fanta from Europe compared to USA?

Argentinian beef is top tier. While we do have some great beef in the US, it's all from smaller ranchers that most people don't have access to, and it still doesn't compare to Argentina.

Argentinian beef could use some seasoning though. Every time I've had Argentinian beef fare it was bland af, which sucks because it looks amazing

American Fanta is corn syrup and artificial orange flavor, Fanta in Europe is orange juice and cane sugar.

Still a soda, but like, actually a food instead of an industrial byproduct.
