[quote=Anonymous]You see, I find it kind of insulting that Au Pairs would think that all Americans eat unhealthy foods.

The milk we buy by home delivery is not organic.  But that's because it's not certified organic which is more expensive.  It's the same milk as the one labelled organic, it's just cheaper because they don't have it certified.  It tastes just the same.

Anyway, I was an exchange student in Germany for 3 months in high school.  My mom told me I had to eat what was served to me and so I did.  My two favorite Au Pairs that we had were willing to try absolutely anything and while they definitely preferred healthier options (as our family does) they also enjoyed the awesomness of a Costco hotdog or an elephant ear at the fair.  Neither gained weight while here and one went on to become a vegan (for animal rights reasons, not so much because she wanted to for health reasons).

Bottom line is:  it's a year.  If you have an allergy/sensitivity or a special diet due to religion, that's ok.  But to get the most out of your year, it seems ridiculous to restrict your eating to some arbitrary "lifestyle" diet.  Keto, vegan, gluten free, etc.  Boring.[/quote]
