Interesting, I never thought how a grocery store is laid out but you are right.

I'm sure obesity is increasing all over the world, but it's nowhere close to what we are. It didn't really hit me how fat Americans are until I went to Europe.

This is definitely true, the couple of times I've been overseas I noticed a much more healthy society (mostly in Austria).

I honestly don't remember EVER seeing an obese person there that wasn't American.

That's my general recollection as well. Though I do wonder how much location has to do with it. Not sure where you've been, but most of the places we went were larger cities with mass transit, or smaller towns where you could (or had to) walk to everything anyway. New Yorkers generally seem to be in decent shape from what I recall.

I've visited Paris and various parts of Italy, but I really know Geneva, Switzerland better as I have spent time working there. Commuting to work, grocery shopping, etc.. you get off the beaten path and I think get a pretty good idea of daily life. Geneva has by far the most attractive women per capita than anywhere I have ever seen. It's the perfect storm - a society where obesity doesn't exist, a wealthy city, and surrounded by mountains with beaucoup outdoor activites to keep everyone looking great.

If you like brunettes, you should visit Portugal. Good lord. It was like heaven. For some reason I was expecting the Italian women to beat all comers, but it wasn't even close.

The sexiest woman was in Nimes, France. She resembled Kelly LeBrock (circa Weird Science), but with flowing, wavy red hair. She was wearing a green dress, and approached me from about twenty feet away and asked if I had a light for her cigarette. Had this swaying strut that would look silly if you didn't have the confidence to pull it off. Kept eye contact with me the whole time she was walking up to me. Of course, I don't smoke, but I was a puddle of jelly at that point anyway.

Italy was the worst in that regards imo. Geneva is a smaller city (175,000), and they have this really wholesome look as opposed to the look in bigger cities. Milk commercial looks with a soft French voice... Tres jolie!

Sounds like a pro to me.

Hmmm. . . that would mean the "puddle of jelly" was . . . ewwww.

I know it sounds that way. But the dress was actually fairly conservative. She looked well put together, but like she could have gone back to an office somewhere. This was the middle of the day in a fairly touristy area, so I don't think so. Who knows though.

The hookers in Berlin, that's another story.
