      I get to speak directly to this I'm a Chinese-American "Gross" Chinese food was absolutely not an expression of envy for high-status food prepared by elite chefs using rare ingredients by poor white kids when I was growing up Come on dude https://t.co/Psmp4Lb7Xb

      The opposite of what he's saying is actually true of poor white people. At least where I'm from in rural Texas. I was more likely to eat well-seasoned food, and a variety of meats not normally on the table in white suburban houses.

      Everyone fucking knows that bland food is a signaller of wealth and status in the West -- the idea that you can afford high-quality ingredients, particularly meat, which don't "need" spices to disguise their flavor

      it's also tied up with early 20th century food movements, where "food reformers" tried to distinguish "healthy eating" as distinct from "overly rich" italian food ie, baked meat, boiled vegetable, unseasoned starch, all unseasoned and "unmixed"

      like that particular style of meal didn't come out of nowhere, and it's not inherently cheaper than (say) a stir-fry, but it's "better" for you because it doesn't "overly excite" the nerves / digestive tract / whatever

      Oh yeah Long tradition of this in the United States specifically (although it was around throughout Europe) They had a very serious scientific belief that overstimulation of the senses was generally bad for you, descended from a Christian idea of avoiding lust and passion

      It was responsible for the invention of extremely American foods like Kellogg's cornflakes and Graham crackers Dr. John Kellogg and Rev. Sylvester Graham both specifically wanted Americans to eat more unflavored carbs and less protein and fat

      They had the exact opposite of the advice you get from today's fitness gurus about "macros" Only, see, they *agreed* with today's gurus that a high-carb diet will leave you kind of listless and slothful and weak And they thought that was a *good thing*

      (Dr. Kellogg, in particular, was obsessed with the idea that masturbation destroyed the mind and caused all manner of mental illness And the best way to prevent masturbation, aside from the bland all-carb diet, was a regular regimen of purifying enemas Some layers there)

          Anyway The inventor of Kellogg's Corn Flakes literally says that if you enjoy being horny and having orgasms you should avoid eating cornflakes and instead have bacon and eggs for breakfast

          To be fair to him, though, he didn't invent that idea, just the uniquely American scientific approach to it This is the actual reason Catholics give up meat for Lent -- it has nothing to do with being kind to animals, which is why you're allowed to eat fish and stuff
