And American women don't get thin

Mirelle Guiliano,CEO of Clicquot—the French champagne company, has penned a book on how to lose weight—the French way. Called French Women Don’t Get Fat: The Secret of Eating for Pleasure, it outlines how to eat what you want, in moderation, and lose weight.  I thought the idea sounded familiar, and a quick Amazon search reminded me of The Fat Fallacy: The French Diet Secret to Permanent Weight Loss, which came out in 2003. Both confront the seeming paradox that the French eat cheese and drink wine and remain slender, whereas I eat one errant Cheeto and gain 5 pounds.
