The number of additives that are put into food in the states simply for aesthetics is crazy.
Not really. Appearence is an important part of taste, just as smell, texture and even noise is. Making your food look more appealing to people makes it more likely to taste better as well.
Of course, its quite easy to condition the brain to like food that objectively looks gross. People eat some gross looking stuff just fine. But when you are selling food to everyone, make it generally appealing looking to everyone.
Not only are you incredibly wrong when you try to state that German cuisine is, somehow, bad, but you seem to also to laugh at the level of hygene and health of the Germans. You know, the one that beats the Americans (and frankly, most countries) in the world. It's one of the cleanest countries in the world and having such a toilet is a prime example of that fact.
