Industrial farming is ruining American soil quality. Our produce suffers as a result. For example, a carrot grown in America will be less flavorful and less nutrient dense than a carrot grown in France. I would visit France for the produce alone.👍

The produce in France is def tastier but yes, getting more local and organic food from farmers markets can help!

Hey Lucie love when you do vids on the difference between France & America...Maybe you could do one on the products that the French use for soap/bodywash, shampoo/conditioner, makeup/face products, lotions/body creams...they probably use better ones compared to the US..Ive been looking into more organic products and was just wondering..Not really nutrition but still something that we could do to change in an overall healthy direction!! Thank u 😊❤

Great video. Mindful eating and portion control has been good for me. I have changed my way of eating, thanks to you, for the better. The US is a bit too free at times with their rules.

From the USA. I have lots of questions. If the French salaries are so low compared to the USA, how can the people afford to attend the theater and opera or vacation? How many years did you spend in the USA? From what age to what age? Do you think your education and experiences in the USA helped you to be more outgoing, self relient and independent?

If you think Chicago is friendly, have you been to the South?? ☺️ When I lived in Besançon, I very slowly made friends with the panini man in the plaza. He reminded me of the “grumpy old men” I grew up around in my small town that would come into my family’s restaurant. My first interaction with him was to correct my French grammar, and over time he became warmer and so kind, especially when I was there alone for the holidays 🥰

When I went to the US, the first restaurant I went ti I ordered a starter and a main. I actually thought my starter was my main when it arrived! UK based here, which is obviously more like France. American people are ace though,super friendly 😊

I think maybe in a city like Chicago that the produce isn’t too great, but here in California, the produce is a million times better than France. Because we are #1 in the US for agriculture so farm fresh, organic produce is a non-issue. In general though, it’s pretty gross to see what types of GMO ingredients are still being used, like Bill Gates’ Apeel. I definitely think that French restaurants value higher ingredients overall though. Dining out in Paris is such an experience. The restaurants there are all so pretty and everything is presented so nicely too. Also, one thing I’m glad you pointed out was about how kids in France are mandated to start school at 3 and how the schools are so strict. When I was in France over the summer, my mom and I were shocked at how well-behaved French kids are. They speak so softly and you rarely see them throwing public tantrums. We also saw hardly any babies. In fact, the only ones we saw were with other tourists. I think that has a lot to do with the overall birth rate decline, but we wondered if it’s just considered weird for people to take out their babies in France to public spaces? French people are soquiet compared to Americans, so I wonder if they’re just wanting to be polite and not have crying babies at restaurants and shops? Maybe you can shed some light on this.

Lucie, the reason why French higher education is free is because you all pay so much income tax per year, around 40-50%, yes?

There seem to be pros and cons about both countries. But clearly France has a fantastic culture around food. Whereas the US seems to have a fantastic attitude towards disability/individuality. I have heard some horror stories about being disabled in France. I have also hear horror stories about the food in the US!

You don’t suck in everything… many good things about the US… but I do remember that after moving to the US as a student and going to Florida on my first vacation, I was on the beach one day and that is when I saw my first really obese individual (am from Austria originally). And I totally agree with Lucie - portion sizes in the US just so huge I gained 5 kilos in my first few months there cause we always used to go to these cheap ‘all you can eat’ buffet type places… After moving to London which is where I live now, took me a while to get used to smaller portion sizes but even in London things have to some extent become Americanised, starting with all the fortified flours and such. You can’t get a decent bread in a supermarket if your life depended on it - you need to go to a proper bakery etc

Yeah. I don't get the daily pledge of allegiance at school or singing the national anthem before every sporting event (even tee-ball). It cheapens it, in my opinion.
