CS> I think Europeans eat more healthy and this is a goodly bit of it.  The
 CS> average American looks at a 1/4 lb of meat and thinks they arent being fed
 CS> right.  They eat too few real vegetables in the amounts that are healthy
 CS> (that same 1/4 lb of meat volume if presented as a veggie is almost too
 CS> much).

In almost every restaurant here there is a special vegetable buff‚, free to
take as much as you want.

 CS> Im not sure if the diet is as varied in the USA as in Europe and Europe
 CS> varies on that as well, but in Asia, the diet is very seasonal so varies
 CS> quite a bit.

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