Hey man, I am from the UK and used to live in the states (north east though, not california). Yes, the quality of food in the USA can be VERY good, especially if you shop at places like wholefoods. The problem tends to be with the cheaper food.

In the UK, I would feel safe eating the cheapest chicken from Tesco, Alsdi, Lidl and ASDA (which is owned by Walmart). Would I feel safe eating chicken from the cheaper supermarkets in the USA? Definitely not.

I don't think the UK should be lecturing other countries, and at no point did I say we should.

Also, how dare you insult fish and chips, half and halfs, and fried mars bars :p

Finally, I would just like to point out that I did say I love the USA, I'm looking at moving back (post-covid). It's one of my favourite countries in the world, but I'm surprised at how controversial it is to say that the food isn't the best.

Yes I love vinigar on chips and fried haggis but it's an acquired taste / Stockholm syndrome :) The US food IS the best though (avacados). Maybe also simultaneously the worst (corn syrup) but I just feel UK has nothing to add to the disucussion and its too close to the lazy US stereotype Europeans throw around about Americans.
