Obesity, overweight, that's a very binary state. While there are obese people in France (and at a good rate too), and lots of overweight people too, they're not US obese. Obesity is BMI 30, which is nearly average in US. There are few superfats in France, and even the overweight tend to be on the lighter side, the weight distribution is definitely skewed lower. I know no one measures it, but class 2 obesity, morbid obesity, etc, rates would be much much lower. Like everywhere in the world, it's a growing problem for sure, but few countries match or exceed US in this area.
