    Also France is funny because my ex-boyfriend used to always make me his traditional French home town dish which was a load of potatoes with some salad (which was just fried onions) and with a baked round cheese served in a wood case spread all over the potatoes. It used to make me feel sick, it was so heavy. But then we didn't eat all day after that... So maybe it was good.

    i lived in france for two years... they eat really simple meals for dinner. lunch is the big meal of the day, but even then the two hour lunch is starting to get phased out. dinner in france ( with the french family) used to be soup and bread, some sort of meat, or just rice and vegetables. there was a always a dessert though which was usually fruit or yogurt. its the pastries and heavy regional dishes that are eaten sometimes but on special occasions. aka christmas was a huge food frenzy of dishes that never ended.....

    Finally got to watch it - have to say, was pretty impressed.

    Great that they acknowledge the limitations of the study, but also point out that the running theme of "best diets" limit the use of processed foods. This is of course, a fairly simplistic view and with so many contributing factors it will be impossible to know exactly which country has the best diet.

    Who'd have thought it - 3 fresh, homecooked meals a day, little snacking and zero convenience food makes for a healthier body :laugh:

    Didn't you get the memo? Everything is about America.

    I read an article recently about how kids in France don't snack. It's just not a part of their culture...they eat meals and that's it! I think that's amazing and honestly wish I was raised without snacks all the time, maybe I'd snack less now ;)

    I did. But typically, yeah. Although kids have a snack after school.
    I thought Italy would be high up. The food is so amazing in Italy but I think I put weight on when I went there, maybe had too much pizza, pasta, gelato and grilled veggies.

    I'm baffled at Italy. I know an Italian woman and they eat pasta all the time. That can't be healthy, lol.

    For the dish, is it Tartiflette? Delicious but not something you eat very often.


    I need to find time to watch that thing though, it sounds interesting.
