not the food itself (which is not bad....) but the relationship with food. In France, food is fun and food is interesting : food is not something you ingest when you are hungry. Basically : the French have structured meals where they enjoy the food and talk together, they do NOT eat between meals, eat more vegetables, less fast-food and do not drink too much soft drinks, etc... This education starts at school (see the menu in a Primary schooll in Paris). The result : much less heart disease and diabetes, much less over-weight people and more pleasure! Read about "the ugly American eater" and more about food.
