I admire it to an extent in that it is a part of their healthy culture. I think they take it a bit far though

But being more like the Italians or French in terms of food would mean being more like the Italians or French...

That's why I was saying that even German food is adventurous in comparison. (Old-fashioned English food from before the 20th century is also good.)

Singapore shows that you can combine amazing cuisine and a culture of efficiency.

Flanders also has much better food than the Netherlands, and is otherwise fairly similar (to an outsider that is, I'm sure the locals will find plenty to disagree about).
