The American-style salad that has the internet outraged
The latest viral trend of the American-style salad has sparked a wave of criticism in the forum, where users question the nutritional quality of these ultra-processed preparations. What for some is just a cooking video, for others represents the epitome of the artificial food flooding social media.
Is it really food or a chemistry experiment?
The debate has quickly become polarised. While some forum members describe the recipe as a collection of chemical substances, estimating that 90% of its ingredients are not natural, others focus on the cultural origins of these dishes. The criticism was not long in coming, calling the visual result unappetising and questioning the health of those who regularly eat this type of salad.
The cultural clash between ultra-processed food and tradition
The discussion has turned into a critique of ultra-processed food culture, with the American-style salad becoming the perfect excuse to attack imported eating habits. The irony about the consumption of these products, comparing them to other industrial sweets, sets the tone of a thread that reflects scepticism about what is sold to us as healthy on the internet. The question that remains is whether there is really any limit to the degradation of what we consider food.
