France & McDonald's

The Times newspaper recently featured an article about French women growing bigger. So far they have been known for being skinny and very body-conscious. Now they waist numbers enlarge, and they are said to like it. French society - even though I think it is more the fashion industry, which is hard to understand anyway as a reasonably rationally thinking human being- is asked to drop they expectations in terms of weight and body shape.

A woman voice in the article further laments how McDonalds, which eventually came to a small French town, lured the people into its halls with people queueing at their counters and cars queueing at their Drive-thru. As if McDonalds were to blame for heavier if not obese bodies?!! Ultimately, it is a person's own choice what they want to eat. I am convinced that everybody is educated enough by now to know what healthy food and lifestyle is about. Speaking of lifestyle, perhaps it is particularly that what the French people want to taste and experience at McDonald's?
