[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]American towns and even small towns are built for cars. That's one big difference to Europe. Furthermore in America it's social suicide to work PT, both parents are expected to work FT, otherwise you're lazy. So nobody has time to prepare meals; in Europe it's more acceptable for parents but also for people without kids working PT. I don't think Americans have less self-discipline than people in other parts of the world, they just live in a very unhealthy enivronment. [/quote] In addition, many European countries have shorter work weeks and more generous vacation time. I raised this point several pages back, but even the shift from 9-5 work days to 9-5:30 with unpaid lunch or 9-6 if you take an hour for lunch cuts into time for cooking and physical activity. Pile communities that aren't walkable and which are designed in a way that increases traffic as time goes on, the window for shopping for and cooking healthy food continues to narrow. [/quote]
