than what - translation
My guess for translation of "than what" was "de que", however the machine translator used "de lo que", is either version correct and if so, is the "lo" necessary?
And should the "lo" be "la" since comida is feminine? I am so confused 
Example of than what usage:
La comida (en este país), es muy diferente de lo que tenemos de los Estados Unidos.
The food (in this country), it's very different than what we have in the United States.
Is that sentence correct or am I way off? Also, with the above sentence example, would a native spanish speaker use those words and grammar, or would it be said differently, such as a different verb like comer in place of tener or different word order?

You have a problem, at least in part, due to your English. Try from what, not than what.
You are correct.
Because "La comida" is already in the sentence, it would not be natural to say in the latter part ..."de lo que comemos.." so your choice of "tenemos" is good.
