The French eat differently

Many people believe that French people are very different from Americans. This is certainly true where eating habits are concerned! According to a report by the World Health Organization, each year French people eat four times more butter than Americans. The French also eat twice as much cheese! In addition, they eat more vegetables, potatoes, grain and fish.

Yet, despite the fact that they eat larger amounts of these foods, the French take in about the same number of calories each day as Americans. (French and American men consume about 2,500 calories each day. French and American women take in about 1,600 calories daily.)

How can this be? If the French are eating more of certain types of foods, shouldn’t this add up to more calories? And why are so few French people overweight compared to Americans? The answer: Americans consume 18 times more refined sugar than the French, and drink twice as much whole milk!

Although many Americans believe the French end up each meal with grand and gooey desserts, this just isn’t so. Except for special occasions, dessert in a typical French home consists of fresh fruit or cheese. Many American families, on the other hand, like to end their meals with a bowl or two of ice cream or another sweet treat.

It’s believed that this difference in the kind of calories consumed ? rather than in the total number of calories taken in ? is what causes many Americans to be chubby and most French people to be skinny.

Questions:

1. Name six types of foods French people eat more each year than Americans.

2. How many calories does the average French man consume each day?

3. How much whole milk does the average French person drink compared to the average American?

4. How much more refined sugar do Americans eat than the French?

5. What do French families usually eat for
