Nice and Fresh

As an agricultural nation, French people are used to and enjoy fresh produce.

TV dinners are difficult to find in the supermarket, and so is anything pre-made in general. In  France, people usually eat meat, veggies ... and baguettes (the latter only in moderation!).

Cream and butter are found in a lot of French desserts and traditional cuisine, but these ingredients don't impact the body as much as chemicals and processed ingredients do, and in fact a number of French dishes (especially in the South), are made simply by using just veggies.

Take the simple vegetable summer stew, Ratatouille, for example. It's magnifigue!
