Not-so-thin French

A fad diet book claims that "French Women Don't Get Fat".

Sounds cool, eh? One problem.

It's bullshit.

More RWDB France-bashing.

Nah.

This is more "Stupid Diet Fad" bashing.

(To their credit, no French person probably believes it.)

Nah, I was just kidding.

Where's the book, "Heroin-addicted chicks don't get fat"?

And what about - boys that vomit don't get fat?

The title may be wrong as such, but there is a thing called the "french paradox". Scientists have wondered why french have a low rate of heart diseases for the food they eat.

And then there's the low rate of breast cancer around the mediterrean.
