Very true. If it were not for the Chinese, Thai or Indians, there would be hardly anything worthy the name "food" in this wasteland of supermarkets and processed pulp.
BTW - Russian food used be as (if not more) awful: basically beets, buckwheat (yuk!), and animal fat. However, during my visit to Leningrad this spring I discovered that this is no longer the case, and there is a considerable choice of decent food.
