Food for Thought: Why we do not see many over-weighted French People?

The answer to this question may lie with how the French people handle their meals.

The night just a few days before the festive New Year's feast , on a PBS' presentation, "In Defense of Food", food writer, Michael Pollan, observed that for French people eating is a happy and deliberate event. To get the most out of their daily meals, they take time to chew and savor their moderate sized foods.

The French people also like to have their daily meals on the same time each day. This is probably why we would find most of the French people would enjoy their lunch at noon hours.

It seems what the French people did with their foods is not rocket science. Maybe it can be a good starting point for many of us who decide to lose some weight in the New Year.

Bon Appetite!
