I've only spent about 3 months total in Europe, but I thought food was much more expensive. Also, the less-expensive prepared food didn't seem very healthy - kebabs, frites, crepes, etc. If I wanted to save money I'd just get some bread and cheese from a market. Good fruits and vegetables seemed to be conspicuously absent, at least when compared to California.
The conclusion I came to was that people in Europe tend to be thinner than Americans because they can't afford to eat very often...
- biohacker42 18y agoI have to admit there's healthy and European healthy. Fruits and veggies are healthy, crepes are European healthy, fast food is not anyone's healthy. Good fruits and vegetables are only seasonally present in the central and norther European countries, where the local climate is too cold to grow a decent tomato. Southern Europe on the other hand has you covered, the climate is a lot like California.
