People say that but the funny thing is that American food, even fast food, is not that greasy. Cultures that pan-fry food (like a lot of Eastern European ones) end up with way greasier food.

IMHO, the issue is not just deep or pan frying. It's about the kind of oil you use for that. South europe does fry stuff, but generally uses sunflower seed oil or, even better, olive oil.

Bro the US deep fries so much that even their memes are deep fried.

Deep-fried food is generally less greasy than pan-fried food.

Oh it definitely is greasy, and sugary, and carbohydrated, and with a minimum of fibres.
