California Women Don't Get Fat It makes about as much sense to make such a statement as it does to make the statement that French women don't. As a matter of fact, women from both places do. We are only talking about percentages here. I think it's about 10 or 11 % of the French population versus maybe 20 to 25 % of the California population. Let's talk about those percentages that aren't fat. As a male, let me tell you that the I much prefer a slim, fit, vibrant woman like so many Californians than a thin, wan, pouty, "sophisticated" French woman. Advice to American women (and men). Eat less, excercise more, don't smoke, don't drink to excess. Find plain, good quality food and don't waste your time obsessing over food as do many of the French. And don't fool yourself into thinking that the French have answers that you don't.
