Alternate take: this meme is expired, because all of the foods on that plate are only bland if prepared by a bad cook.
Toast with butter is a delight. It's not gonna knock your socks off with complexity, but good bread with good butter shouldn't be bland. Heck, good bread by itself shouldn't be bland. Same with fried fish - a nice juicy piece of flaky white fish fried in a properly-seasoned batter is an absolute delight, not bland at all unless you're using bottom of the barrel ingredients and don't know what you're doing. And canned beans are absolutely loaded with spices, salt, and acidity, they're probably the most complex thing on that plate.
