Long proud of their famous dietary anomaly, that they are known both for their thinness and for their rich foods, the French are a little upset over recent reports from their ministry of health that they have gained quite a bit of weight as a nation.

It’s that they are too busy to prepare the right cuisine and are relying more and more on processed foods. For those many Francophobes out there, you should know that they are still far behind America’s rate of obesity.
Bon appetit!!
