Diet and Nutrition

Diet and Nutrition

     France is known for their delicious pastries, bread, wine, and cheese.  Each chef is extremely proud of their cooking and make sure they have the freshest ingredients.  Most chefs will go to the daily market where they will pick up some meats, vegetables, fruits, and cheeses.  Everything is so fresh and there are no preservatives in the food.  I have a dairy allergy but I could eat some dairy products because of how fresh everything was.  The wine is cheaper than a bottle of water and there is no drinking age.  Bread is extremely cheap as well.  A loaf is normally 1 euro which is almost $1.25.  Escargot is also a popular dish in France.  I never tried it while I was over there because I was too scared but I regret not trying it now.
     Looking at all the carbs the French eat, some wonder how they are not overweight.  The French walk everywhere so they walk it off during the day.  They also eat a bigger lunch than dinner so the food has more time to digest.  Going to the gym is also very popular over there.  One thing that is different than here is that people do not walk around in workout clothes.  They go to the gym and change and shower and change after the workout.

Croissants are also a specialty.  Above is a chocolate croissant.  These are to die for!

Cheese!
