    I will add to, as well as repeat, some of what you said:
    US food is more processed, with lots more salt and sugar added.
    US food is often shipped and not locally sourced (less seasonal).
    US population does not walk or bike enough.
    Why?
    One reason is because of US suburban design. Car-centric, that is.
    * You have to drive to a large corporate grocery store to get food, because suburb does not allow small businesses, nor restaurants.
    * You won't drive too frequently since this is usually not a short 5 min drive (otherwise, it would be a walk or bike ride). Maybe once a week or once every two weeks.
    * Food has to last one to two weeks on the shelf and in the fridge.
    So, this disincentivizes small mom&pop shops which would source locally (say, from local small farm) and disincentivizes daily short grocery trips to buy a single bag of more organic and less processed locally sourced groceries, fresh just for that day. It incentivizes going from house to car to large grocery store and back to car and then to house.
    US suburban population has no third place to socialize and has destroyed small businesses and mass transit (or biking/walking) by requiring sprawl and non-business housing only (minimum lot size laws, single family housing R1 zoning only laws) and car infrastructure (parking lot laws, large roads with fast speed limits in residential).
    They have also affected the health of their kids, by creating infrastructure detrimental to using bikes or walking to school, thus "imprisoning" kids (making it necessary for parent to drive to many places, hence "soccer mom") until 16 (when they start to drive themselves).
    To fix, US would have to allow mixed housing in suburbs, allow small businesses into suburbs, and allow multi-unit housing in suburbs. Then, after population densifies, mass transit becomes viable and walking/biking to places becomes viable.
    Until then, the population will drive everywhere. Drive to restrooms they soon will, I used to joke 🙂.
