i'm half french half spanish, my opinion is you are what you eat, and the lifestyle does a lot see:
japanese: a lot of work and discipline lifestyle, raw fish, raw meat, strange and diverse vegetables, every lunch composed by many diches all diferent: the food isn't transformed; you take the fish you eat it, that's all
french: normal amount of work but a taste for doing things correctly, extremely diverse cooking history: thousands of dishes, a taste for natural things (cheese with fungus and/or non pasteurized milk), organized eating shedules and menus; eating is a social event, milk, coffee, tea with some ealthy pastry (croissant...), toast with butter and jam in the morning an aperitif(some cocktail) 1 entrée, 2 dishes, a dessert and cheese, for lunch (aperitif and antree may or may not be respected but allways very apreciated) soup, salad, some meat for diner so your stomach will let you sleep well (also 2 dishes, dessert and cheese of course)
spanish:relaxed way of life; do it right but don't overwork, never stress and be sportslike many kind of different dishes and the most important; nearly ALL the ingredients are natural, from the tree/animal/plant to the frying pan to the plate; why? it's cheaper
USA:workaholics, very transformed food (transgenic corn, thousand of diferent oils, meats, conservatives, colorants in a burger and why the fuck are pringles all the same shape??? these aren't potatoes, this is chemistry)
also the use of alcohol is more social in europe, in france many kids usually drunk a little of wine since young age, wine or beer is a normal drink in lunch in most of european countries; (i'm not sure of this, correct if i'm not right) amerifags tend to see alcohol more like a drug than a food
finally we got japan>france>spain>USA so what I mean is, the more raw,rotted... so NATURAL or naturally transformed dishes you eat (cheese for example is fucking rotted milk), the ealthier you are
