I live in SD and before that in LA and the food options here are probably healthier than in much of the US. Or at least that's how it seems whenever I'm in the rest of the country, with some exception. I mean anywhere I go there are vegetarian restaurants, local (organic) produce everywhere, farmer's markets in every neighborhood, etc. When I'm traveling it's so difficult to find food that I actually like - everything seems processed or fried or bland or full of white sugar or something. The midwest seems to be the worst offender. I usually end up losing weight when travelling because I don't do fast food and it's difficult to find things I like that are sustaining (in the rest of the country people seem to think that vegetarians ONLY eat salad).
And, off topic, here in SD we have so many local breweries - we have a whole craft beer revival. And there are the wineries.
But still my European and Asian friends say we have terrible food compared to the rest of the world. Not cuisine but literally the food.
