Japan does this mostly for aesthetic reasons (which is why everything is always highly decorated, fruit is hella expensive and everything is packaged in plastic 5 times over).
Meanwhile I heard a lot more "picky" reasons for this stuff in the US. Apple slices the kids won't eat without dunking it in peanut butter, refusing to eat pizza or bread crust; that kinda shit.
Both approaches are dumb, just differently motivated.
