French Women Don’t Get Fat

"I listed this book because it was an inspiration. We had so much fun with the idea of French women not getting fat, because obviously you can go to France and see fat women there. Maybe the percentage is lower than in the US or the Netherlands, but it’s just not true that French women don’t get fat. The book is full of little tricks so you don’t eat too much. For example, you should always carry a bottle of water and drink from it constantly so that you get full and don’t have to eat. If you get a glass of wine you should just sip it and not drink the whole glass in one go. There are all kinds of things like that in it. It was just so funny – the book was asking to be satirised. Yes, I think they would make you very unhappy. I wouldn’t like to be bloated by water all the time, and not be able to eat. They have all these small clothing sizes in France. I wouldn’t fit into their clothes and I wouldn’t want to live like that, to be forced to starve – socially, culturally. Yes. There was another book, Japanese Women Don’t Get Old or Fat . I thought that was even more hilarious. They don’t even get old. What’s to envy about that?"
