For the last ten years, I heard how fat we are. Like so many Americans, I believed the lie. Over the years, I began to noticed how fat the British, French, and Germans are. It was not just a few but generally every fourth person. In the States, there are millions of health fitness clubs at full capacity. Americans are obsessed with becoming thin. Every year, millions (not thousands) of Americans lose major weight. In some cities like San Diego and Miami folk are bone thin. Nevertheless, obesed Europeans eating greasy sausages feel quite justified pointing their fat fingers our way. I remember seeing an Oprah show where French women were boasting about their ability to stay slim. Now, France is having a pandemic of obesity. When you visit your little fat grannies, try to remember that American grandmothers are at the gym toning up their bodies. It is not good to be too obsessed with the exterior, but we do not poke fun at Brits who are overwhelmingly becoming obese.
