Oh. Smaller portions :(

I have a friend who wil be spending some months in France.

So when I saw a post at blowhards on High-carb/Low-carb I was reminded that some hard perspective might be in order:

Secrets of slim French revealed

Scientists have long marvelled at France's low levels of obesity.

After all the French consume much more fat than Americans, downing mountains of cheese, croissants and pastries.

However, just 7% of French adults are obese - three times lower than in the United States.

Now, researchers on both sides of the Atlantic believe they have cracked the riddle. The answer, they say, is simply smaller portions.
