Truthiness Alert: French Women Do Get Fat

Truthiness Alert: French Women Do Get FatPosted by Kerry Trueman on February 6, 2006 - 7:30am.

Memoirs and diet books may stretch the truth, but the numbers don't lie: a new study commissioned by the French Union for the Clothing Industries reveals that French women are, in fact, getting fatter.

Mireille Guiliano went on Oprah last May to plug her bestselling “non” diet book, French Women Don't Get Fat. When the paperback edition comes out, I'm hoping Oprah will invite her back to square off with Dr. Jean-Marie Le Guen, author of Obesity: The New French Sickness. I have a feeling M'sieur Le Guen might shred Madame Guiliano's premise into, well, a million little pieces.
