Do you think the locals are worried about food poisoning eating there?
Locals have local gut bacteria and immune systems tuned to the local strains of pathogens. It's no revelation that if you travel far enough, there's going to be some level of incompatibility here.
Honestly I find this “I’m risking my safety unless it is a US chain” attitude both limiting and even a little ugly.
No idea where you got this from, but I guess you assumed that I'm American and have a specific set of beliefs you observed in other Americans.
To be clear I'm not American and I don't prefer US chains. If I went to Saudi Arabia I would probably go to Hungry Bunny - even if only due to nostalgia.
