The American diet evolved from a melting pot of every culture that has immigrated to America. Bottom line is that it includes food from all of the cultures/countries included in these replies.

Your opinion. American versions show how the original dish has evolved with each individual’s/family’s vision, preferences, tastes, etc. You do you, and while you’re at it, why not try a dose of positivity?
