Food in France is definitely next level ! And i'm not talking about cuisine but just the quality of the produce you can find there.
On the Global Food Security Index, that compares 113 countries on food quality, accessibility, affordability and safety, France ranks 4th worldwide, behind Finland, Ireland and Norway !!
France also uses much less pesticides than most european countries. 3.6 kilos per hectare compared to almost 11 kilos in the Netherlands for example.
And France is the leading producer of agricultural goods in Europe, almost 20% of all food produced in Europe comes from France, 5th in terms of exportation of agricultural goods worldwide, and 1st in Europe in terms of surface area deficated to agriculture. Almost 55% of France's territory !
According to a ranking by the Japanese ministry for agriculture, France is also the 3rd most self sufficient country worldwide.
France has one of the strictest food legislation worldwide. It does make a massive difference when it comes to public health !
For example : In terms of obesity, according to official data from the WHO, France ranks 159th with only 12.36% of its population being obese. The US ranks 16th with 45.58% …
In France, only 3.7% of people have diabetes. It's 11.7% in the US.
Heart diseases related deaths in France is only 4.8%. it's 18.6% in the US.
445,9 new cases of cancer per 100k inhabitants in the US. Highest among OECD countries. 339,4 in France, Below average in the EU.
Life expectancy in France is 83.23 years (12th worldwide) It's 76.43 in the US (57th) …
In france, supermarkets are also very customer #1, thinking of carefour which has signs to warn peoole of shrinkflation on products (a product getting smaller in weight yet the price not reducing)
