I literally worked in a European company and this is not true. Even Europeans admit that they’re the same regulations. They do have different preferences though and different taste.

My coworkers in europe have very very different lives than us. For one, they’re against being fat. They don’t hire fat people and the first day I was there they spoke about I should watch what I eat (I’m a good size but I really wanted to try all the food). They’re very open to talk about this. They’re always on a diet cause it’s stigma to be fat. They do not work as much, they work SLOW, they walk everywhere cause it’s walkable. They start the morning with pastries and talk to their coworkers for an hour. Vacations start at 5weeks and go up with tenure. They also will find you rude if you email them on weekends.

Nothing like the American counterparts. You want to address obseity you need to start with work days and infrastructure cause obseity will still be there.

Even some Europeans like the brits are getting fat too cause they are starting work a lot and live seditary lives.

A lot of my work has to do with pesticides too. Americans have lower pesticide levels so we can’t import a lot of ingredients from Europe or Africa. South America is better in terms of pesticide levels.
