30 is common, but I wouldn’t say standard. An hour a day feels standard.
In office work, you usually get it all in one chunk, whereas if you work physically demanding or shift-based work, you get 15 minutes coffee break, then at lunch 30 minutes, then another 15 minutes later. This is true at least for all the western European countries.
I mean I can choose. It’s good to have a choice. One day I have left overs or salad so I take it to work and leave early. Other days I want to seat and eat proper food, with a fork and a knife, and I can. It’s a choice. It seems like you only have 30 minutes but if you eat in 15 you go back even faster. That’s not good for your physical or mental health
Yeah well we can’t all be French. I’m not saying it’s a good thing, but 30 minutes is standard even in Europe.

They’re talking like “bring food from home” is not an option. Do French people not have home kitchens and Tupperware?
The French would never do that. They take an hour and a half for lunch and go to a restaurant that serves wine and a choice of cheeses.
Even then they are rushing things, from my understanding a sit down meal in France consists of anywhere between 2-6 days.
Tupperware is treason
All I want to add here is that I fell completeley in love with france over just two weeks working at a customer’s site there.
