>What is Wrong with America’s Food?
The punchline, rooted in the observation that dietary issues such as gluten intolerance seemed to be predominantly a ‘white’ problem, had people not just laughing but thinking and sharing their experiences on social media.
One user stated, “I am lactose intolerant and gluten intolerant until I leave the US. I can eat anything in other countries just fine.. it’s insane.” This comment opened the floodgates, with numerous others sharing anecdotes of their dietary woes disappearing abroad but reemerging upon returning to the States.
Another user commented on this joke, he wrote: “I think it’s how food is processed in the US. I know folks who have severe gluten sensitivities but can eat bread and pasta in Europe in moderation with no problems. Another example is a friend of mine who loved a dish that has a sauce that is peanut based, no issue eating it back in the Philippines but when she made the same dish in US, she had hives and her eyes got all swollen right after ingesting a small portion of it.”
Another one shared her experience, saying, “Honestly it’s probably just American food. I couldn’t eat gluten in the US, but I had no issues when I was overseas.”
