French women can get fat if they damn well want to.
I was cleaning out books yesterday and came across “French Women Don’t Get Fat” and “French Women for All Seasons” (yes, there was a sequel!). I devoured them both amid a long line of diet and nutrition books across 20 years. I have never been at all overweight, but between the skinny trend of the 2000s + dancer brain, I never had a chance. I started to throw them into the Goodwill box, and realized I could help stop the cycle. They went in recycling instead.
