Life on a French Farm

This should scare the hell out of you!


Obesity epidemic in New York City . . .



At dinner Saturday night, our guests were laughing heartily as our French friends, who had visited us in San Francisco, retold their shockingly lurid tale of attending a Giants baseball game.
The baseball game bored them. However, our friends' attention turned to watching "real" Americans in action.

Our friends were mesmorized, stunned, shocked, horrified as they watched the spectators shovel food and drink into their maws in individual portions that would amply feed a French family of ten. My friend reminded me of the obese woman who sat next to me with a tank of Coke strapped to her back!
