I lived in Barcelona last year and the year before. It always surprised me how people didn’t have the same aversions to carbohydrates, fats, sweets, and alcohol that many Americans have. While they are becoming more influenced by American fast food, having both parents work, and buying more from one stop food markets, the lifestyle, social support systems, i.e., healthcare and eating habits still are very different from the USA. Were you there more to share your American experiences with them and did you learn about their food industry and their issues. I suspect that the Catalonians are concerned about their citizens’ heading down a path of bad eating habits and how to prevent them. Any thoughts to share?

Sorry I missed your talk in BCN as have only just come across your blog. If you’ve got anything else planned in the coming months around this city, I’d like to try and attend.

Many thanks.
