bakeries in europe

Living abroad for many years i can admit the many atops at the local boulangerie in geneva,lausanne and paris...yummy treats and marvelous breads.the gouter, an afternoon snack for youngsters on up is a tradition.favoring dark chocolate and crsp french bread as a kid then moving towards pastries as i grew up the tastes and smells always drive me wild.
Imagine the goverment limiting what you could consume in europe?food for thought to those who want to propose limitations on school lunches,portions and such.it is up to parents to control the intake of food not a governing body!That said, those who live in glass houses with derrrieres speading like a monday wash should shut up!
