The French believe that teaching healthy eating routines to children is a priority, along with reading. School lunch menus are planned in advance and children are served 3-4 course meals with proper cutlery and water, instead of bringing their own lunch to school. Historically, France has been known for its slender people and longevity. To combat increasing obesity levels France passed a law in 2005 banning soda-and-snack-selling vending machines from public schools.
