Good story but impractical While the basic advice of "French Women Don't Get Fat" is sound, many of the hints and tips are simply not feasible. I wish I had the time to shop four times a week at an open air market. I wish I had the spare income to exclusively buy heirloom and organic produce. Unfortunately, I live in a world that does not have room for backyard fruit trees and a nanny who tells adorable dinnertime stories to encourage children to eat healthy soup. Something tells me that the majority of American women live in the same world I do. The book has some cute anecdotes, interesting recipes, and a decent story. However, lots of the information does not fit well into a working family's weekly schedule. I'd be more interested in a book that focuses on implementing the author's ideas with a limited budget and limited time.
