FOOD FOR THOUGHT Posted August 2 nd Last year, I studied abroad at a high school in France, where school lunch was a four-course meal that lasted for an hour. There was a starter, a choice of two (a) , a cheese course and a (b) ! As an American, I was amazed at how different French (c) were from what I was used to back home. Instead of a (d) , there was a self-service cafeteria, or ‘self’ as they called it. I didn’t see any typical American options like burgers and chicken nuggets on the menu. There was always fresh bread on the table and only water was available to drink. Once a week, the (e) served for the main course were vegetarian to encourage students to eat less meat. There were no (f) in the school – they have been prohibited in French schools since 2005 to stop students from buying junk food and unhealthy (g) . Very few students brought (h) from home either. Of course, outside school things are different. (i) is very popular with young people in France, just as it is in other countries. In fact, France has the second highest number of McDonald’s® restaurants in Europe after Germany!
