Many people believe that French people are very different from Americans. This is certainly true where eating habits are concerned (有关的)! According to a report by the World Health Organization (世卫组织), each year French people eat four times more better than Americans. In addition, they eat more vegetables, potatoes, grain and fish. Yet, despite(不管) the fact that they eat larger amounts of these foods, the French take in about the same number of calories each day as Americans.[ French and American men consume(消耗) about 2,500 calories each day on average. French and American women take in about 1,600 calories daily.]      How can this be? If the French are eating more of certain types of foods, shouldn’t this add up to more calories? And why are so few French people overweight compared to Americans? The answer is that Americans consume 18 times more refined(精制的) sugar than the French, and drink twice as much whole milk!      Although many Americans believe the French end up each meal with gooey ( 胶粘的) desserts, this just isn’t so. Except for special occasions, dessert in a typical French home consists of fresh fruit or cheese. Many American families, on the other hand, like to end their meals with a bowl or two of ice cream or another sweet treat.
