My humble little two cents...It depends on who or whom you are cooking for. Period. Could take samples from the German and Japan kitchens, as well as U.S.
To myself this article has an agenda, and it does not paint Americans very favorably.
Which in turn, irritates the Hell out me as a cook b/c believe it or not, most American families/ Companies I have prepared menus and food for want good healthy and flavorful options includng...red meat and butter and all things n between.
Just sayin...Enough of the America bashing!
