        Well, why shouldn't it be? Being fat is a choice, mostly. Or lack of making a choice. Fortunately, ppl in EU aren't as fat as in the US.

        Every pound of fat is food, converted to body weight. Eat less, or eat healthier, and you're not fat.

        Women face the most demands: she must be thin, she must be intelligent, but not too much because you mustn’t put the man in the shadows.”

        Not thin. Just healthy. They don’t glorify obesity in Europe which motivates people to eat better and move more and live longer. It’s not a bad thing.

        Majority of comments highlight others' seeming superiority and intolerance, sadly. To me, it is just another form of bullying & not helpful.

        I think that's always been that way. Its just like any of the bad habits ie 🚬. Only way out is to stop and learn to be healthy

        This was so much my observation from almost the moment of arrival. Science is finally showing what the French have long-known about food.

        @Alissanyt France is ground zero for rich foods. From what I've seen they serve small quantities tough. Ever been to a fancy eatery

        When the French watch Americans eat and divulge those high portions, it's embarrassing.
