I think most western cultures eat a lot of processed food lumber. I don't think US citizens are the only ones, although research would suggest you do have the highest intake of processed food.
I've had a few Americans as guests in my home and I've been told by every single one of them that we have far less 'junk' type food in our supermarkets and that the style of cooking they see in my particular home is very different from what they'd do in their own homes. Of course, my sampling is very small, but still it was 100%.
The thing that concerns me about packaged food that you could have shipped to you is that, like all other processed foods, it's not really a natural flavour is it?
