I have an interesting situation...
I was born in France...I'm half French, half German, (my biological mother was French and my father was German, ironically) and I was adopted at birth by my American parents.
I've lived here in California my entire life, and I know no other family than here. I don't know how to speak French, or German, but in school I learned AP Spanish.
I consider myself an "American" in general, but I'm honestly disgusted by the mega-super-size-ultra-giant proportions at fast food restaraunts! People complain about obesity in America and they wonder why.
And theres a book called Why French Women Don't Get Fat...I havent read it, or seen this, but i heard that in France, everything is a little bit smaller portions than here in the states.
Even the King Sized Hershey bars have a few ounces less than the ones here, apparently.
And living here in California, I've seen this for myself...nobody gets off their butt and walks anywhere. People GET IN THEIR CAR to get to the mailbox a few houses down, and they GET IN THEIR CAR to go to a neighbor's house for a block party.
