I'd like to hear from rfc posters around the world. Do people where you live assume, as Americans do, that there must a connection between diet and health? Is the diet marketing industry as powerful as it is here in America?
To make a long story short: Yes, in Switzerland and France we certainly assume there is a connection, but the difference is we don't (mostly) go to extremes, like eating low-fat or low-carb all the time. The idea is to eat lots of fruits and vegetables, no too much fat and sugar, and that's it.
