anyway, wtf is this french paradox? Is it like the Italian pardox and Spanish paradox?
It's all about fat in moderation. The % of dinner tables in France (or likewise) that serve up balanced nutritious and tasty meals versus the % of American dinner tables doing the same is a ratio that is enormous. I lived for 4 years in the US, 21 years prior to that in the UK and 15 years in France and I can say without a doubt, from the experience of all the people I've met in my life is that the diet in France ranks far higher in terms of "healthiness" than the UK or US.
And yeah, beer doesn't figure much into the drinks either.
