Sacre bleu. It is not just the Americans & Brits it's the French too

Nearly one in five French aged 15 to 25 years (19%) are overweight or obese, according to Ipsos released Thursday, Oct. 11 . Among them, three out of ten do not realize they feel thin or normal weight. As the majority of their friends have the same body build.

In addition, more than one in two French (61%) eat their meals in front of a screen at least half the time, according to the survey .

Snacking, skipping meals or swallowed at full speed, reduced budget spent on food are part of bad habits identified by the survey.

When questioned 31% deemed their clothing more important than eating healthily and
25% opted for their mobile phones being more important than healthy eating,

Come to think of it their pudgy current President Monsieur Hollande is hardly a lean model.

You want to live longer?  then, eat less!
