[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve been in France the past few weeks visiting my spouse’s family and would like to point out that French people do not go to fancy restaurants that specialize in elaborate sauces every day, or even very often. Most people are very health conscious, and that means eating 2-3 real meals per day, mostly prepared at home with quality ingredients. Every meal includes vegetables.

I’ve been eating all I want, drinking a little wine every single day, and have not worked out once in three weeks, except for walking around town. I’ve lost 5lbs. There’s something wrong with American culture around eating/ exercising (in that it has to be feast or famine, literally) and also I really think that American processed food (bread, pasta, crackers) somehow are worse. Perhaps all the enrichment.[/quote]
Except for walking around town... LOL
Why are people blind to the benefits of walking?[/quote]

I’m not at all blind to the benefits of walking. I go for long walks every day at home in Washington, plus I exercise intensely 4-5 times per week. I’m absolutely moving less in France, eating whatever I want and losing weight. And, this always happens when I come visit family in Europe. There is absolutely a difference in the quality of our food in the US.[/quote]

Oh and by the way I’m a thin guy. I’m not making excuses for being overweight because I’m not overweight. I’m just sharing an observation that our food supply in the US is crap.[/quote]
