American people like Italian food overall 😯
Italian, like Hawaiian pizza? 🍕
Italian food is too expensive
might not be the healtiest food but delicious
If it was real Italian food, it would be different.
Italian-American food is gross. Just piles of greasy cheese.
I'd rather eat avocado and skirt steak than hardly any nutrition pasta.
In Italy people eat more veggies and salads. It's not just pasta and cheese every meal.
That make sense
Boomers- bigots, conservative
Gen x – bigots, conservative
Millennials – liberals more open minded
Gen z – very woke
Even italians prefer mexican food over italian food. It's just that good.
It's cheaper, faster, higher in protein so you stay fuller longer.
Let’s just be honest with ourselves as North Americans, our traditional food is awful.
People love mexican food but not the mexican gente.
Mexican food has seasoning
A lot of Italian food available in the US is very rich, heavy, high in calorie (everyone is afraid of pasta and carbs nowadays), doesn't travel well, and hard to eat on the go.
bouyyy do I love me some Mexican food ❤ from PR
How you gonna talk about authenticity and show a Mexican restaurant owned by a white owner who's not even Mexican 🤦
What about cusper generations like Zillenials or Xennials ?
It depends where we live. We don't drink alcoholic beverages, nor pork
Olive Garden is ok
Good Italian food is sit-down, kinda heavy for lactose intolerant folks, and expensive (unless you consider that cheap trash from Olive Garden or a greasy pizza actual Italian food).
When it comes to comida de Mexico, there’s authentic food everywhere. And it’s usually much cheaper and has more protein/better macros. Easy choice.
Mexican is fast and convenient.
they have no idea what both cuisines actually are.
There’s more seasoning and flavor…
Ah yes, the Italian staple food, Pizza.
