Answer:
American tastes and the increasing unwillingness of American eaters to try tasty, nutritious food
The approach to eating that unites Americans seems to be practical and unfussy:
avoid fights over food by relying on food that the children will eat that doesn’t take much
time to prepare and doesn’t cost much money, meanwhile French preference for high quality food eaten in moderate, well-
balanced meals, and the American practicality about eating food that is cheap and convenient are reinforced by agricultural and food policies, and I will give some examples
of how this works in the next few paragraphs.
Despite my admiring gloss on French food culture, French norms of eating three
well balanced meals in a leisurely way and not snacking or eating between meals are
eroding.
