    So much fat on dating apps. 80% of the matches I get are fat ones.

    I'm clearly in shape on my profile. Do these fat ones really think I'm going to want to match with them?

    If you're matching with them then you must be swiping right on them? Why are you swiping right if you think they are fatties? Makes no sense.

    Ah for a second I thought it was our fault, glad we can pass the buck. Obviously in Sweden they don't have tired parents, junk food or school runs

    That prompted me to check out their school lunches, bingo ! same as France.

    Proper school lunches, it's a huge part of the education.

    Here, it's a completely different mindset (and not the right one I think !) : given a choice, both staff and students would rather eat away at the time they are given for lunch (;)) than have a proper, longer sit down lunch.

    I work in a school. We are gradually reducing lunchtime.
    Over years, 10 minutes have been lost, so that people could finish the school day earlier. Our lunches used to be 50 minutes (already short), they are now 40. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see it brought down to 35, then 30 minutes.

    This is all sorts of wrong, and passes on the wrong message that food itself at lunchtime is secondary, that it's really a necessary as quick as possible "gulping down" opportunity, so that the real day can continue.

    Michael Moore's clip on French cantines is well known, and here's a link to Sweden's lunches :
    School lunches are served in many countries, but the Swedish school meal model is unique in offering free meals to all children in the ages 7-16 and to most students aged 16-19, on an everyday basis.
