Do the French always wear black and white striped shirts, beret hats, drink wine with every meal, and carry around baguettes everywhere they go.

There's your answer.

I will be traveling in France in a few months. A perfect time to measure the extent of the baguette fetish.

I'm one of the people who said they never have McDonald's. I've never been a smoker either.

Have you been to France? Because I was directing that to the OP who said They were from France. Because if you have been there you would know that everybody smokes. You can smoke most places, including places for kids. We have been twice and will never go back to France and a couple other places in Europe because the smoke is literally unbearable. I was simply making a comparison that sure-the US is known for fast food and huge portions and over eating, But France has its own issues with health too-it’s just different.

Learn how to quote and post. That's not at all obvious for those who aren't glued to a thread and you come off as a goober.

I have not been to France, no. But I know seven people who live there (six of whom grew up there, one who grew up in the US and moved there after college) and none of them are smokers. So ... not "everybody" smokes.

I’ll eat there when the BTS happy meal comes out in September.

There are almost 1600 McDonald’s in France. How often do you eat there?

We don’t. My kids are older now and have maybe been 3 times. They get how bad it is. So many healthier fast choices now compared to when I was growing up - Cava, Chipotle bowls, Sweet greens etc.

NP. I live in Paris and we get takeout from McD’s down the street probably twice a week. It is always packed with French people! And the service is super slow. They source all their ingredients from within Europe, mostly from within France, so I guess it’s healthier…? Tastes pretty much the same.

The best mcdonalds are in India. The McAloo Tikki is pretty amazing.

This is so confusing.

Aren't the French huge, huge consumers of fast food??
