How does france have a low obesity rate?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No consensus: Different theories have been offered for a low obesity rate in france. For instance genetic predisposition or fresh food based diet. However, in recent decades there has been a doubling of the obesity rate so it is unclear if genetics is playing the major role.
