Europe's not perfect, but it's several steps ahead of us when it comes to food standards.

""

My neighbor just left to spend the entire summer in Europe.

He's the guy with a highly restrictive diet I recently wrote about, with countless food intolerances that his "nutritionist" detected using dubious testing methods. I haven't had the heart to tell him she's a total quack. I think on some level, he wanted to hear that he couldn't eat half the foods on the planet.

But I also feel for him. He's going on the trip of a lifetime to a place with incredible food. What if he won't eat it?

The day before he left, I asked him what he'll do on the trip. He told me he plans to eat everything. He and his "nutritionist" agreed that food is better over there. Safer. More pure.
