PARIS - Athletes at this year's Olympics will be eating mostly French food, with a focus on local and organic fresh produce and a much smaller share of meat than at previous Games.

"I love sport and I'm going to the Olympic Games at the Stade de France on August 4, for athletics. I really like athletics, and seeing the athletes who are going to eat my potatoes running, I think that's cool," Plasmans said.
