[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Going to restaurants is literally paying corporations to poison you with overpriced food. We avoid them not just for finances, but because we value our health and what we put into our bodies.

And as others have noted, we socialize at each others' homes, at parks, at community gatherings, and elsewhere.[b] The idea that you can't socialize without spending money in very specific environments is one more most Americans[/b] (and nearly all on DCUM) [b]have been brainwashed into believing[/b].[/quote]

Actually Americans, compared to most other places, go to restaurants crazily infrequently.  Spend some time in France or Italy and you will absolutely laugh that you ever thought Americans were the ones spending lots of time in restaurants [/quote]

Nope. I actually speak French, and this isn't correct. Here's a poll that answers this very question; it took 10 seconds to Google:

Only 1/3rd of French adults report eating out 1x more more per month. [/quote]

What does your speaking French have to do with it?  Have you ever lived in France?  Italy?
 
That's actually where "cafe society" comes from.  You don't know what you're talking about. [/quote]

Yeah, I grew up in France and my wife is Italian. So you look like even more of an idiot.

The two links clearly indicate that most French people a.) don't frequent restaurants, and b.) go far less often than Americans.

Why not just admit you were wrong instead of digging your heels in further?[/quote]

Funny that you didn't include that in your previous post and instead bragged about speaking French.  That seems an odd angle to take, to say the least [/quote]
