how come the cheese-eating french are so much slimmer than the average bloated american…?
…and is the combined weight of obese waddling americans on just one part of the globe likely to cause gravity anomalies?

Dunno about the gravity problem but French are generally more active where as Americans drive everywhere and dont do so much, there is a big divide in the US your either a carrot muncher or a burger bloater no inbetween.

Americans have an unparalleled level of wealth compared to the entire world’s population and all of human history. Wealth means access to an amazing amount and variety of food. Combine that with a comfortable, sedentary lifestyle because of the prevalence of cars and suburbs (living fifteen miles away from grocery shopping means not walking or riding a bike) and you have your explanation.

French portions are much smaller. They tend to eat a wide variety of high-quality food and drink more water. The french also eat slower…they savour each bite and spen a long time socialising at the table. This eliminates cravings for more food.
My guess is that many Americans overeat because of a different perception on portion size and are often not in touch with their body’s natural hunger.
I don’t think humans were ever meant to diet or eat special low fat foods etc….we should just know when we really need food (physical hunger as opposed to emotional) and when to stop.
Regarding the gravity problems….many other nations are becoming more and more obese so hopefully that will never happen!

They eat less processed foods and don’t drive everywhere

I am afraid the French are catching up. There was a time when they avoided fast food and tended to eat a more healthy Mediterranean diet. Like the rest of us, they have now developed a liking for Le MacDonald’s and are fast following in our footsteps!

their serving sizes are much smaller, there is hardly any fast food places… I found Europeans tend to walk more… drive Thurs are non existent…
