"Weight-watchers everywhere can breathe a sigh of relief. Contrary to their image as slim models of restraint, French women, it seems, really do get fat.
According to a 2009 study published on Tuesday, 15.1% of France's women are classed as clinically obese, while a further 26% are overweight.
The survey, conducted by TNS Sofres Healthcare and Swiss pharmaceuticals company Roche, also pointed to similar trends among the male population, with 13.9% of Frenchmen obese and 38.5% overweight."

Now can we please stop with the bowing and scraping to other cultures? These lies about France, or anywhere else, are embarrassing in this modern age - we Americans, especially, should know better, considering how well-connected we are. We look like fools for insisting on imagining this stuff about our inferiority to others.
Americans bow to no one.
