Ou bande annonce du film “Ratatouille”

American vision of the famous French cuisine, Paris and its restaurants, French cheese and so on…quite a funny movie !!

French people who wears berets, eat camembert with their cup of coffee in the morning, eat snails and frog’s legs !

La crème de la crème

Well, a rat in a Parisian restaurant: it may be the wrong message , don’t you think?

As it is the “Semaine du Goût ” in France , let’s talk about the fight against obesity lead in the United Kingdom as we fear that half the poulation will be obese in 25 years if the current trend continues .

We heard that the young are getting fatter and in some areas of the country, a third of children are leaving primary school overweight. There is a need for health education in the home and at school .

Regardons l’exemple d’un programme diffusé sur les chaînes principales anglaises avec le fameux chef anglais Jamie Oliver visant à éduquer les enfants à bien manger à la cantine: cette bande annonce assez drôle montre le combat difficile à mener contre la malbouffe !
