Its always amazing to me to see footage from the 50s and 60s, especially old holiday film of people on the beach in their swimmers. There are simply NO fat people. Im sure they were around, but they were the exception, not the norm. Some look to our 2012 eye like they have stepped out of a prison camp. A similar scene today, every adult looks 20-30 lbs heavier. Its hard to hide in your speedos.
Its not about vanity, its about quality of life. Thats stuff around your waist is also casing every organ in your body.
Its not about fat. The French*, as a population, are not fat. They eat full fat everything, they scoff at "diet" foods. They cook in duck fat, they eat meat fats , they drink whine, they eat bread and pattiserie. In moderation. natural fats wont hurt you. Sugar and processed fats, and quantity, certainly does. When I go to the US, Im always staggered by the portions served.
*like everywhere, their young people are succumbing to the fast food/high fat/high sugar plague.
