One and a half to two hours for lunch!! Incredible, I remember my lunch block in high school being only a half hour, and I feel like it sets us up well for the expectations we'll have in the workplace of short / nonexistent lunch breaks in the US.

I wish I could leave a photo caption of what my high school cafeteria served for lunch (American)😂. The average meal was served on a three section styrofoam tray, with the main being a low quality cheese burger (cheapest beef, cheese, and white bun available), canned mushy and salty carrots, ranch dressing, apples the size of a mandarin orange, a milk jug, and maybe a chocolate pudding cup. I believe that meal was $10. We also served snacks that were variations of deep fried junk, packaged snacks cakes/honeybuns, and frozen orange juice cups.

I heard a podcaster recently say that being healthy and avoiding toxins in the US requires you to make health your 9-5 job, while in Europe it's something people don't even have to think about. The things I would do to help our country become more collectivist and healthy like you guys.

It would be good to see a weeks worth of a school menu from France

I lived 7 years in US and eating healthy there was not affordable for me. Fresh food is too expensive there, that's what people don't understand. The poorer people are in US, the less healthy they eat. It's a whole economic and social scenario that doesn't make healthy eating possible to everyone. There are no supermarkets with fresh food in poorer neighborhoods.

Lucie, thank you so much! Your channel is not just super interesting of course but since I found it yesterday it’s already impacted me so positively. I took an hour for breakfast and again for lunch. And then an hour or so eating with a best friend. Today was a much less disordered eating day for me. I followed a lot of what you’re making me aware of. A huge problem/correlation for me has been disordered eating with workaholism. Today was so much better with both conundrums. ❤

When my daughters were children I went on a food revolution and got rid of the junk food in my pantry and started feeding them healthy, organic food❣️I also think the people in California are generally more health conscious ❣️🥰💕🥕🥑🍓🍞🥬

its the same in latin america!! we eat in family, at the same table, and everyone has the same meal. kids will usually have ''kid's food'' as a mid-afternoon snack, that would be cookies, cake, fruit, juice or chocolate milk but breakfast, and specially lunch, also dinner, will be like that! homemade cooked healthy/balanced food. at least in brazil

[lisawilliamsusa]

Such good meal ideas Lucie! I no longer have kids in school, but you always inspire me to eat better 😊

[abbeypoteet]

Yeah, my elementary students had 20 mins in the lunch room. That includes waiting in line for hot

[markmacklam]

Tangential to your discussion but I think important to point out, the length of time French students enjoy to have their lunch, if viewers were wondering, results in a longer school day. In Pezanas where we stay most Summers, school ends at 5:00 pm.

👋 fabulous So much needed! Your vids have helped me so much Lucie💜plan balanced meals, etc keep up the great work👍👍its pitiful here in the US the kids menus in restaurants are never healthy. Fish sticks with fries, grilled cheese with chips, etc why not offer a mini portion of meatloaf with potatoes and vegetables? Restaurants take heed here! One reason America is a sickly nation. Young parents reading this stop now feeding your kiddos junk. Just order an extra healthy entree for your toddler, then take the rest home for the next day. 🙏💜from California 🏝️🌸ps: your skin looks so luminous plz do an updated skincare routine video

Love this video.
What can you suggest for French dinners for kids thank you.

[natalynne]

Thanks Lucie!!! This was so informative!

Obesity feeds into health issues thus keeping big pharma with fat pockets. Plus the government doesn't push a focus on nutrition and health here in the US.

[kristabeatty]

Hot lunch at my kids’ school is either pizza or hot dogs. They eat at their desks and the tv is put on at every meal. I hate it.

[brunod]

unfortunately, despite being Brazilian and speaking Portuguese, I cannot communicate in French, both Latin languages!
On the other hand, I would like to thank the Video, I have been planning to study French culture for food and education within my family for a few months now.
thanks!

when i was in middle school i just chose to buy the fruit and salad for lunch (in the US) but we were in a more well off neighborhood so the school was better funded for literally everything. When i got to high school, we had way more options but the schools partnered with several fast food places to serve some of their foods in the cafeterias. I basically started just bringing my own food bc i didn't like eating such heavy foods during the day. if we didn't have those options, i probably would have just skipped lunch bc the school cooked foods were not appetizing at all.

[caseyj]

What time do kids leave school? I imagine with a long lunch break the hours are much longer

[markmacklam]

I'm sure no one cares but I need to correct myself in my earlier comment. We often spend some time in Pezanas during June or September, during the school year.

[CyCySunflowers]

Always with the shade on the American diet! lol I don't blame you. It's pretty awful here. I think we have the worst food, diet, and eating habits in the world.
