When Americans travel they love to complain about the food, which elsewhere must lack to them the soaring highs and deep lows of US food. Likewise when we travel to the states, the food seems an over-sweetened and over-sauced compensation for basic blandness.
The reason? Americans like sugary food. Very sugary. According to the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition consumption of the synthetic sugar, high fructose corn syrup, increased tenfold between 1970 and 1990.
So, although it may sound like a sweeping generalisation to say that Americans’ food is overly sweet, bear one thing in mind. This is a practice which is growing globally, so it will only be a generalisation for a short while.
Why? Because the corn producers get federal support.
