 CS> I think Europeans eat more healthy and this is a goodly bit of it.  The

 CS> (that same 1/4 lb of meat volume if presented as a veggie is almost too
 CS> much).

BF> In almost every restaurant here there is a special vegetable buff*, fr

Well, in the USA, it would be a salad bar.  Most wont bother to eat a salad
¨though or if they do, it's very fat-laden with cheese and bacon and then a
¨fat-filled thick dressing.  They take a healthy thing and make it
unhealthy.

 CS> varies on that as well, but in Asia, the diet is very seasonal so varies
 CS> quite a bit.

BF> It is very seasonal in Greece for example but not here except in the s
BF> when we grow our own vegetables. The rest of the year it's imported.

I can understand how that would be worked out there.  A differnce though? 
How ¨many have their own garden at home where you are?  That one varies a
goodly bit ¨in the USA but you have areas where 'everyone has one, at least
a few tomatoes' ¨and areas where folks look at you odd if you even have a
tomatoe plant.
