And why is that a bad thing? It's not like there's no competition to McDonald's or large grocery chains.
I personally don't find mass consumption a good thing but that's me. I find stores and stores and aisles of the same stuff unnecessaary and wasteful. I understand that's American culture though.
Then why does the rest of the civilized world worship it? You may not like it, but American culture is the trend setter.
Don't know how to tell you this, but they don't. I don't know why that's so hard for you guys to understand. Worship of American culture is so...1950's. That simply isn't the case anymore and hasn't been for years.

They don't "WORSHIP" it. They DO, however, consume it like crazy. Perhaps more than they did in the 1950s, because it is more accessible, and American products have made inroads in developing countries.

Whilst boasting that there is none.
Sure. They consume like crazy. On that i'll agree. But still, i don't think they're all that impressed by us outside of a few products we produce.
Who cares what Europeans think. They lead very mundane lifestyles anyway. Take the show Oprah did on Denmark. She was fawning all over it, but it is SO BLAND and BORING there! The main reason is, the people don't have enough money to actually enjoy themselves. BUT, they have government programs they can suck off of!

Like they say...when you don't know, ya don't know. Well...you don't know.
I was married in Vejle, Denmark, and i know the country pretty well. If you can't find anything to do there, you're a pathetic soul. I mean...mundane lifestyle?
LOL @ they don't have enough money to enjoy themselves. Right...5 and 6 week vacations per year buddy!! And most take them internationally. Again, don't know what you're talking about.
The average American has the following lifestyle: go to work, come home...Monday through Friday. If you're lucky enough to get weekends off, go to the same pathetic mall that you can find in any cookie cutter suburb anywhere in the country. Dinner at Chili's or some other lame chain, and go home to watch Survivor, Keeping Up with the Kardashians, or some other pathetic reality show. If they have even a modicum of "culture," they'll go and see a movie at some garden variety 75 screen multiplex somewhere and watch Die Hard 50.
So really, i wouldn't brag too much about the lifestyle here. Going to Bed, Bath and Beyond every Saturday isn't really a cultural event....if you know what i mean. (and you don't)
