Dutch and French men thinnest in Europe

Thursday 23 April 2009

Dutch and French men are the thinnest in western Europe, according to French research quoted by news agency ANP.

But while French women are more likely to be underweight than any other nationality, Dutch women are the only ones who are more likely to be overweight than their men, the research shows.

British, Greek and Portuguese women also tend to be overweight.

The more you weigh the more energy it takes to move you (E=M/C2). More energy to feed, clothe or medical complication from obesity. Do a little more for yourself, cut back on what you have others do for you and go for a walk.

Paul, you are clearly excluding human factor-thin man with ultrafast metabolism would be able consume loads of food, or skiny fashionist, who needs walk-in wardrobe for his skinny shirts or suits, or fat dude, who has down to earth eating and dressing habits, but nature gave him second class thyroid, and good heart!
cheers to the scientists! take it easy!

P.S. I'm as slim as it gets!

Modern human obesity is 'proof' of the amazing (and sad) power of consumer advertising. We are so easily persuaded.
