I meet many people from rural areas in 'poorer' countries (sorry for that wording it might be wrong) and they all say the same thing. The food in 'more developed' countries 'stinks'.
Most of them want to go home with this as one of the primary reasons. They grow food themselves at home, and that's good food. changing to this bad stuff is super disagreeable to their minds and bodies.
It's infinitely funny (and disappointing) to me as an American that one of our top cultural exports, almost synonymous with American Hegemony, Coca-Cola tastes like trash here compared to other countries. Its to the point that people will pay extra for "Mexican Coke" because it uses actual sugar.
Hehe yeah, it's even weird each country somewhat gets things 'to their taste' even though a lot of people don't like the taste... in my country certain Soups are soooo salty, my god. But in the neighbor country, it's nice and taste, and you might add salt because its lacking :'D
