I'm not sure that some of the food purists are in touch with what really goes on in American households.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
People are trying to figure out what American food is; it's certainly an amalgamation.
American food is not what I'm used to - everything is like three portions.
I don't know what's going on in America. I know what people in New York and Beverly Hills think about Whole Foods, but I don't know what people anywhere else think.
I think traditional supermarkets have to pay attention to the fact that America is more and more conscious of lifestyle.
What worries me is that, because of the amount of media coverage of food, Britain seems to have become a foodie nation - but I'm not sure it actually has. I'm not sure there's been a huge change in the pantry at home or what we cook for supper.
It's easy for Americans to forget that the food they eat doesn't magically appear on a supermarket shelf.
Oh yes, there's lots of great food in America. But the fast food is about as destructive and evil as it gets. It celebrates a mentality of sloth, convenience, and a cheerful embrace of food we know is hurting us.
Perhaps more than any other, the food industry is very sensitive to consumer demand.
American cooking is one of the unknown cuisines in America.
If you ask what people say what American cuisine is, they cannot really do it. I don't know what it is.
