A nation's priorities
By the way, if you're ever in the French supermarket Monoprix, the toilet paper is by the wine, coke and water, it's not by the facial tissues and diapers. Must be an essentials vs non-essentials thing.
On the other hand, American supermarkets are dominated by the cereal aisle. Have you ever seen such a sight? What choice! Americans clearly take their cereal seriously. Unfortunately, the majority of them are simply colored crunchy sugar. French cereal (which normally occupy less space than the chocolates) ranges from sweet granola to chocolate versions of every other major cereal grain (oats, rice, corn, etc.) This comes, undoubtedly, from the rich French heritage of a bowl of hot chocolate for breakfast. The Marshall Plan introduced breakfast cereals to the Europeans. I guess the chocolate versions was their way of making it "French."

One should also point out the chocolate/frozen pizza disparity. America is all frozen pizza and maybe two chocolate choices, unless your at a co-op then you have maybe five choices of chocolate. France on the other hand is all about chocolate and you'd be lucky to find two choices of pizza.
So many blogs and only 10 numbers to rate them. I'll have to give you a 10 because you have done a good job. Great Job,
