the Euros have way better food. Also cafe culture is pretty nice.
agreed, but you're rich enough and you have enough diversity of grocery stores and Whole Foods that you could recreate it.

not true. whole foods is shit. I bought a baguette there a week ago and it was gross. Perhaps in the mega cities like NY, LA, Houston, but if you don't live in such places, American food quality universally worse than European (there are some places where farmer's markets are good during the summer, but it is exceptional, not common).

Yea but in europe you're so poor a baguette and a potato are pretty much your groceries for the week
Get one of these for $30 and your bread problems are over

While I believe that the US is doing better in some broad "economic" sense (easy to believe that there is more opportunity in the US, that it's easier to start a business here or try out your new idea), the Euros have way better food. Also cafe culture is pretty nice. This may seem like apples to oranges, and indeed it may be the case, but gosh, I can't get a piece of well baked bread in Texas to save my life.
