At last the diet of wine, cheese and bread has finally caught up to the waistlines of the Français femmes. And all this time we American women were feeling badly about the fact that we were more corpulent than our sophisticated French counterparts across the pond. According to a 2009 study conducted by TNS Sofres Healthcare and Swiss pharmaceuticals company Roche, 15.1 percent of France’s women are classed as clinically obese, while a further 26 percent are overweight. These changes are attributed to a more urban lifestyle and most likely a greater consumption of convenience and fast foods.
