European students examine obesity policy

July 2, 2008

Thanks to Herman Lelieveldt for sending this link to a group of papers prepared by his students at the Roosevelt Academy in Middleburg, The Netherlands: The Politics of Food and Fat. It’s always interesting to look at these issues from another perspective, in this case European.

  1. people in Europe are slimmer because the time they have their meals. At breakfast they have something small like fruit. At lunch they have their big meal like in the u.s. would be our dinner, and for dinner they have something like a sandwich like in the u.s. would be our lunch. Having dinner at lunch means doing all your afternoon activities would work off the fat and calories. The only reason people in the u.s. are obese is were to busy with work, school, and kids.
