Is it true that French women don't get fat?

What amblessed said is partially true. Different parts of the world have different waistlines in general, because of the diets in those regions. In terms of the fattest countries in the world? Well Greece/Malta is tops, followed by the United States and the UK.

As the Standard American Diet travels around the world, children are beginning to really get fat and grow up to be fat. In places like Japan and South Korea, people are beginning to be alarmed by the bulging waistlines of children. So its all about the diet that people have in the different parts of the world.

Here’s a brief table of the slimmest countries based on % of population: Japan 2.9 Korea 3.2 Switzerland 7.7 Norway 8.3 Italy 8.6 Denmark 9.5 Netherlands 10.0 Sweden 10.4 Belgium 11.7 Finland 11.8 France 11 Poland 11

There was a story on NPR over the weekend. Approximately 40+% of french women are overweight!

There is a book and everything. But that myth is definitely busted!
