i’d argue not inherently the thing, but this is more a big vs small business argument

all “american pizza” in canada would be a big chain, which tend to cost cut every tiny bit which leads more salt, fat, and sugar to balance out cheap, bland ingredients

when you buy canadian pizza, it’s more likely to be from a small business, or at least idk from the outside canada seems to be less of a profit-driven hedge-fund hellscape

this is the way it is in australia: we have some US brands that are absolute garbage tier, and our local brands tend to focus on quality, ingredients, “gourmet” etc
