Of course all restuarants make a nice presentation. But take it down a notch. Compare a Hokka-hokka bento to a McDonalds meal. The bento is arranged, albeit quickly, by the maker. The McDonands is thrown into a bag.
I can't disagree with that point because its true...but i don't think that has anything to do with the point i was making... plus, western Fast food shouldn't even be considerd as food anyway. Usually its healthier to eat dog food (this is actually true, there is more nutritional value in dog food than a kebab or a macdonalds meal).

EDIT: i just realised what you wrote.... umm, i didn't mean to say that ALL western food is made in the way that is satisfies senses, i have to read what i wrote again, but i didn't mean to say that if i did... because that certainly isn't true... BUT, it certainly does exist!!
