The French Delicious

There is something called "The French Paradox" that helps explain why North Americans are bad at weight and diet-related health issues. While in France I enjoyed being on the winning side of the paradox.

Imagine eating dessert like this every day without guilt. Those are individual cream puffs drizzled with caramel.

According to The Omnivore's Dilemma, the French can eat like this because they make meals a lengthy event, don't go back for seconds, and don't eat alone.
