Those of us who live in the real world and eat Girl Scout cookies and non organic bananas can match with easy going candidates who are adventurous eaters....

Perfect!

(I’m looking forward to welcoming our next au pair, self-described as “eats anything” but also volunteered that she understands different cultures may have different diets so it’s okay with her if she may need to make her own things sometimes. Our previous AP wanted us to conform our meal planning and cooking to accommodate her preferences, so I’m looking forward to a breath of fresh air!

We're talking about a continent famous for big bread rolls, pizza, nutella, fried pork (schnitzel), potato dumplings, gelato, and fatty sausages. Scandinavian countries are truly healthy, and the French are truly moderate, but I don't take any crap about our food off a German or Italian. Germans, in particular, tend to carry extra fat but don't know that they do. Oh, and I would pit American diets in DC area or California against the average European diet, and I guarantee we would win every time.

You don’t get much out of your bubble, do you?

Some of those countries are not overweight, because they are socialists and have no food...

What is wrong with frozen vegetables? They have winter in Europe, don't they? I'm sure they have frozen veggies there too.

Way to hide your ugly bullying behind an anonymous post.
I for one am going to hope you don't have children.
Obesity is a disease, it claims lives.
Depression is a disease, it claims lives.
Bullying is wrong, it claims lives.

So there are no socialist countries in Europe.

Here are the countries that can be considered social democratic welfare states:

Sweden
Denmark
Norway
Iceland
Netherlands
Belgium
Germany
Finland
Ireland

Not sure about your theory though. Did you sleep through some classes in high school?

You should see the bread lines in Germany! The germans are practically starving to death.

Frozen veggies are fine, as one source. However, it limits the nutritional profile if you stick to just those. No leafy greens (the spinach is okay with a LOT of work), no tomatoes, cucumbers, etc.

cucumbers and tomatoes are fruits, actually.

Special diets for specific health reasons only. So unless you have Celiac disease, go away with the gluten free.

Although I do know someone with intolerances to very common foods.

But I don't entertain fads.

I assume and dearly hope that the person who posted this is a child because what adult (particularly a busy parent) would spend their time insulting a stranger on an anonymous forum?
