Learning Objective
I can compare and contrast the typical French diet with the typical American diet.

Typical American diets often include larger portions and more processed foods compared to French diets.

French nutritional guidelines, promoted by PNNS through the site moji bougie, emphasize increasing fruit, vegetables, legumes, and physical activity, while reducing alcohol, sugary drinks, and processed meats.

While both French and American guidelines promote whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, the French guidelines more explicitly encourage reducing meat intake and finding plant-based protein alternatives.
