So my takeaway from this is that diet change is not only possible, but probable.
It is not written in stone that we will be chowing down on cheeseburgers in a few decades. It was not that long ago that few people had even heard of a cheeseburger.
Basically all Italian pasta recipes go back to a single cookbook in the 1960s. Fondue was invented as a marketing ploy by the Swiss cheese union in the same decade. Sushi was mostly tuna until a Norwegian guy invented salmon sushi to promote salmon exports to Japan in the 1980s

It's not the 50's anymore. Canada needs to build coast-to-coast electric passenger rail. We need urban infrastructure that does not doom us to car dependency.

Could Chinese restaurants have played a role in that change?

I would add Chow Mein to the list. And tacos.
