Take food. Generally people in the American North love very bland, bad food. That is why family and ethnic restaurants don't survive in the north. They like chains like Big Boy because they serve uniformly bland and tasteless food. That doesn't mean Big Boy isn't shit, it just means people like to eat shit.
You could say that but you would be dead wrong in one sense. Having lived in Georgia, Tennessee, California, Missouri, Oregon, Pennsylvania and New York and I travel about 100 days a year I think I have a pretty good perspective on the food thing.
While I was generalizing my comments on the south are accurate.
In the North especially Pennsylvania, Ohio and Western New York chains are very rare (sorry no Big Boys). Primarily because if you want to be employed in cities like Detroit, Pittsburg and Buffalo you have to work in a family business. Most of which are ethnic resteraunts. Greek/Russian/Polish food dominates the markets in the North, Mexican and Oriental foods dominate the West and well... White American food dominate the south (Texas being the exception).
I suggest you spend a little more time in the North or West to put the South in perspective.
Now you are right in the repect that if you eat at Big Boys you probably do like shit. People have bad taste everywhere. West, North or South.
