America is not alone in its junk-food habit
Categories: Diet & Weight Loss, Fitness
A British friend of mine is always quick to point at America as being the nation spearheading the recent obesity crisis -- to him, most Americans live on little more than junk food. But if he wants to see an example of a gluttonous, junk-food-obsessed country, he needn't look further than his own home, according to this article from The Daily Mail.
According to research, 45% of Britons are addicted to junk food, compared with 44% of Americans and 35% of those from the United Arab Emirates (Emiritians?) The healthiest eaters? The French, not surprisingly.
Perhaps it's time we all picked up a copy of Why French Women Don't Get Fat?

My sister went to France for a trip and learned that everyone there eats VERY rich food, which in turn satisfies their cravings/wants/needs, so they eat VERY little and walk ALOT.

Yeah, I noticed that when I was in France too. My feet were killing me after only a couple of days, so I easily walked off all that cheese and wine.
