Part of it is (I think) because Americans expect food to last in the fridge for weeks.
In Europe, people shop for groceries almost daily. Fridges are smaller. Storage is limited. You buy what you need for the next day or two.
In America, we do a massive weekly haul and expect everything to still be good 10 days later. That expectation changes how food is made. Bread that lasts weeks on a shelf requires preservatives. Dairy that won’t spoil for a month requires stabilizers. Produce that needs to look perfect after a cross country truck ride requires waxes and coatings.
European bread gets moldy in a few days That’s what bread is supposed to do. The entire food system in America is built around bulk buying, long storage, and convenience.
