France, en gros

Candy’s good, but don’t eat the whole pack. Share it with your friends! By the way, can you help me redistribute them so that all my friends get the same amount each; except my girlfriend, with the glasses, who only wants one.

There is a government program to avoid childhood obesity in France, which makes sense when one considers the vested interest the taxpayer has in everyone’s health… The package is a cute exercise in the collectivist ideology that has permeated Western European culture. Perhaps an appropriate microcosm of my critique of the continent as a whole.
