    One 2024 study showed that American portion sizes are 42% larger than those in France

    Hilarious article, but not something you should be proud of.

    Lmao. “Splendor” is certainly a word that only a conservative-owned paper like WSJ would use to describe the suburbs.

      As a European who has visited US suburbs, “splendor” is certainly not a word I’d use for them.

      yeah, been to both the US and Europe. I know where I’d prefer to be.

        That’s noted in the article as well though

        When Ron Visser and his American wife were weighing where to settle down—the U.S. or the Netherlands—they calculated that though Visser made about $40,000 less in the Netherlands than his wife did in the U.S., the difference in salaries was erased by an equivalent gap in standard of living.
