2. You claimed that "no one does this in France."  Yes, they do.  I live a few hours from the French border and (in non-Covid times) we regularly spend time there shopping or on holiday.  There are plenty of chubby people in France and there is plenty of easily available junk food in France.  People there are getting fatter.  You probably like to read those stupid self-help books claiming to help you eat or dress like a French person, right?  What you imagine to be the way all French people live is in truth mainly a Parisian phenomenon.  And that's wealthy and middle class Parisians, not the many people who live in the poorest arrondissements and ghettos of Paris.[/quote]

I’ve been to France, Toulouse and South, not Paris. I saw crowds of people eating lunch in cafes, eating dinners in restaurants. The food was of much better quality. I ate more there than ever and actually lost weight.  I saw very few overweight people.

I live I’m middle class America and it’s a struggle to get healthy lunch, a struggle when I want to eat out,  a struggle to eat healthy when I travel across country, a struggle to have my kid develop healthy habits in this environment.[/quote]

That's nice, sweetie.  You visited tourist hotspots in a handful of places.  That does not allow you to speak with any degree of comfort about what is typical for the region as a whole.[/quote]
