These are all universal across the EU and yet there's big differences between EU countries.

Food regulations doesn't mean people have a healthy diet. A lot of the Eastern Europe countries have higher obesity rates: https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php...

That is likely more due to epigenetic factors than individual diets.
A lot of Eastern Europe was doing very poorly a generation or two ago, and we know that living through a period of hunger will cause your children to be more likely to gain weight.
