[QUOTE="Glenmac, post: 1509209, member: 360032"] I have only just read this post,I'm always late to the party!It interested me because my daughter lives on the France Swiss border,works in Geneva and their two children have been in Swiss and French schools for the last ten years.We visit regularly and the most striking thing to me is the produce in their supermarkets! Intermarche and Carrfour in Gex have wonderful displays of fruit and veg and fresh meat,very short aisles for breakfast cereals and sweets and crisps/snacks.Having just begun low carbing at my last visit, again late to the party I found it a LCHF paradise.My daughter has concerns about her weight (and worry about becoming diabetic) and due to my success ( and rabbiting on)she has now begun a low carbing/Mediterranean style diet.She also combines this with lots of walking running in the nearby countryside.Ill leave you to imagine my 'its all on your doorstep' lecture!The great thing is it has worked for her ......and she's still speaking to me!!But obesity is not the same problem there and it's difficult to buy clothes in larger sizes as there isn't the same demand.The schools have sports facilities but more responsibility is on the families to exercise as a family rather than the schools being responsible for a child's wellbeing.This is how I see it from my limited experience of Swiss French schools.
