So much for all the hyperbole about the French being sooooo thin and
we Americans being a bunch of fatties.

"Le Guen claims that 11-12 per cent of young children in France are
obese and this will rise to 20 per cent in the next 20 years."

Yep, the current generation in France are the equivalent to the US
coca-cola generation of the 1970's.

They are now, in fact, thin, especially in relation to the US.

But they will most certainly be fat if they buy into the American
nonsense of cutting fats and increasing the consumption of refined
carbs.
