Kraft mac & cheese is sooo Ameican it screams out!!! It's soooo artificial, too... But a great comfort food!! Anyhow... French have their own processed food products, as well.. from cake mixes, to crepe mixes... etc... I think they eat more fresh food, for sure.. but the amount of processed food here has skyrocketed.. and it's not American stuff... it's there own! I try to use fresh products for baking and not mixes.. but there mixes have some many chemicals and preservatives that the cake comes out soooo much more moist!! hehehe.... We have some of that stuff here in regular supermarkets but we also have two "American stores" in Paris that cost an arm and a leg to buy the stuff!! That's why I end up bringing stuff back from the States!
