Compared to other cuisines, Italian is trash tier; not because it’s not delicious, but because it just relies on cheese, fat, meat and carbs.
“Oh wow, this pasta sauce is so good” yea, it’s made of cream, cheese and bacon, how was it going to taste, healthy?
Compare that to french cuisine where they put a bird inside the bladder of a livestock animal with wine and a billion native herbs, and steam it in that for 40 hours, where you actually have to have skill to make a culinary tradition.
Although Joël Robuchon can fuck off with his 50% butter 50% potato mashed patatos. No shit it tastes better than at home you prick, you might as well just put butter on a plate.

The Fr*nch just add garlic to everything and smoke until their tastebuds fall off.

If you hate garlic, you might want to check one of the few non carb/fat ingredients in their food: garlic.

Ah yes the totally evil thing known as carbs, which can be broken down into 3 main types. Those being fiber (which you need to actually digest any food period), starches (which break down into the next category), and sugars (which is what powers your fucking body)!
Fats are like carbs and not inherently evil, it’s food it does not care for your human sense of morals. Which sense you brought up meat and cheese, yes those do have the more unhealthy saturated fats it is still fine to eat those in moderation. Both carry protein which actually makes you feel more full compared with other nutrients. So they these fatty foods can actually help you lose weight if you eat them.
Remember food doesn’t give a shit, it’s neither good nor evil and if you want to lose weight it’s best to eat reasonable portions of whatever makes you happy. As long as you run a calorie deficit then you can eat junk food and still lose weight.

Thanks for bringing scientific explanations to a joke about a lack of artisanal subtlety in a cuisine. The original statement was about over reliance on easily delicious things instead of vision and ingenuity. Not sure how differentiating between starches and fibers suddenly adds innovative herb combinations and laborious cooking techniques.

Your honor, the joke wasn’t funny and it was a good opportunity to put useful info out there.
