Gaspillage alimentaire : plongée dans nos poubelles - Envoyé spécial - Les reportages en vidéo - France2
Amazing segment. 20 kg (25 lbs) of food tossed out in the garbage each year by every person in France. I think that's low. Up to one quarter of food wasted unnecessarily in schools and by supermarkets, they report.
Produits frais : ce que gagnent (ou perdent) vraiment les distributeurs, Actualités
How does this compare with NC? Do supermarkets lose money on selling fresh fruits and vegetables? And make a lot on selling delicatessen items, for example? How does it all compare?

Dipteryx odorata - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Found this in a newspaper today in France - the tonka bean - for a recipe with apples and cherries, but when I looked it up, I find that the FDA (US) has banned its use in foods in the US. France allows it. Not sure the rationale for the band but I'll stick with the FDA guidance for now! (Contrast that approach to the use of melatonin -- over the counter in the US, prescription only in France.)

Their television advertising focuses on fresh products from the marche but don't see that here. Actually, the "film" on the site is the commercial so I see it now.
