Those Thin French Women....

[Bunbun]

Saw this on Slate.com today--thought it was an interesting perspective on this book. American women are always so ready to feel inferior to other women!

Thanks bunbun for the article. My friends and I have been buzzing about the French for weeks. The article was very interesting, I will pass it on.

I am reading her book right now, and there are some useful things in it. There aren't any blockbuster ideas, or ideas that we haven't heard before, but just a reminder to eat good, healthy food and not to stuff yourself.

It is an easy read, unlike a lot of diet books out there.

The thing that bothers me about this article is that the writer discounts everything in the book based on what is JUST starting to happen in Europe. The principles in the book are still very valid -- if you can get the fresh foods.

I read the book and loved it . . . I think American's in general are always looking for the quick fix and they have a blame it on something else in my life mentality . .

Bottom line . . eat healthy whole foods in balance and water water water . . . .
