Among the delicacies and famous cuisine the French boast, they never seem to gain weight...or do they? Although the French may seem to have their handle on love handles, their typical fare doesn't qualify them for the Healthiest Nation award. La solution? Raising taxes on fatty, salty, and sugary ingredients.
Another step toward more healthy citizens in the battle to prevent obesity involves posters displayed at Metro stations encouraging riders to the take stairs, and junk food ads covered with reminders to eat 5 fruits and vegetables a day.
They may not be as healthy as they seem, but the French are tackling the problem before their country becomes more gros (French for "fat").
