The typical American diet has undergone major changes. It is worth noting that the United States is a very large and diverse group. Our geographical boundaries cover many climates and histories, which means that popular food choices vary from place to place.

fish is an example. I once lived in Seattle, Washington, where people eat fish, which is probably the most popular protein. However, I also live in Wisconsin and Minnesota, where people seldom eat fish because it is not fresh enough, tastes bad and can't afford it. Our only choice to buy fish is usually frozen or previously frozen, and the cost is much higher.

In addition, the United States is a "melting pot", which means that it is a young country with a history of only a few hundred years. Even from the very beginning of this country, it is based on immigrants (people who travel from all over the world to start a new life in the United States). It is important to note that because of this, Americans are exposed to more food culture than any other country I know. Therefore, "American food" usually includes popular foods from all over the world, and usually has our own flavor. Pizza is one of the most popular dishes in America. This is a traditional Italian dish, but after several generations of evolution, it is no longer like Italian pizza.

When I lived in Wisconsin, there were a large number of German immigrants, so our popular dishes in Wisconsin were all German dishes, such as wurst, sauerkraut, beer, thick cheese and so on.

In contrast, Seattle has a large number of Asian immigrants. So Asian food is very common and popular. For example, roast chicken (there are many such places everywhere), traditional Vietnamese rice noodles, and so on.

In Utah and Texas where I live now, our diet is mainly Mexican food, because we are close to the Mexican border and there are a large number of Mexican immigrants in our area. In fact, the word "Temex" means "Temex" or Texan interpretation of Mexican food.

Of course, all over the country, everyone eats all kinds of food from different regions. Generally speaking, the United States is a country with a very diverse diet. So the food we eat comes from all over the world.
