    I looked to the left, then looked to the right, and my eyes were singed.

    Heh! Cute. However, the fest table in the pic on the right looks to be of German origin ...

    And yes, if Europeans start eating fast food 3x per day, they start looking like the pic on the right, too.

    Chick on the left looks more California than Paris to me, anyway.

    Perhaps it is a disgruntled European that loves to point out that America has made the world fat through McD's, while Europe claims a nice healty diet.

    But who would have a diet of olive oil, frogs legs, escargot, Piella with fish heads (still with the eyes in), fish and chips, pizza, haggis, salami ETC

    I actually think Britain would be somewhere in-between the two.

    Germany evolves (or should that be 'mutates'), left to right. Britain is tending towards the heavier side of life

    Europe is certainly thinner than average than the USA, but quickly "gaining" on us.

    Could care less about which country the photo on the right was actually taken in.
    Would like to know where I can meet the woman in the photo on the left.
