>>She said one funny thing. She said Czechs are generally in good shape despite the heavy diet and doing no apparent exercise. If you see someone running outside, they're American, she was told. She plans to run anyway. That's my girl.

>That's because Europe usually has food, not too much in the way of industrial stuff which goes for food in the US. My son-in-law is a heavy set guy, usually around 230lb or more, and when they come here and stay for a month, he eats a lot, lot more than at home, and yet loses at least 15 lb each time. Thin on sugar, thin on starch, rich on fat and proteins. I've also lost whatever I gained while not smoking, about 20 lb altogether, and for the last three years I'm stable around 81-82 kg. And healthy at that. We don't have a FDA...

>>She is wondering how her vegetarianism will fare. UW-Madison does a great job of preparing their students abroad, including meetings with recent alums who have been to the same place. One of hers said there was a vegetarian woman in his group. He said I don't know how she did it. Hmmm.

>Our youngest is a vegetarian and she went to Prague last year, albeit for only a few days. She didn't complain about the choice of food. There's a lot of pastry of various kinds, and dumplings in many dishes. And there should be peasants' markets nearby, wherever you go, so if your daughter is into cooking, she may find whatever she needs.

My wife and I are both vegetarian (no meat no dairy but we eat seafood). We went to Vienna a couple of years ago and thought that it would be hard to find places for us to eat. No so. They even have vegan restaurants. Which was surprising since Austrians love meat so much. I am pretty sure that Prague has vegan and vegetarian eateries too.
