Interesting. The restaurant owner says clearly that here in the US,
there are so many obese people. Then he says that they don't eat french
fries (a lot of carbs),

And lots of fat.

but they eat a lot of food, including potatoes,
sauteed in butter. He did not mention that they don't eat all their
meals with a half gallon jug of hfcs soda.

Soda, as we all know, is empty calories. Calories that could/should be
comsumed by eating healthful foods.

So the french eat a high animal-fat diet with little refined carbs and
they are less obese and more healthy than the americans eating
generally lower fat and higher carb diets.

Be careful about connecting dots that aren't there. The French do many
things quite different from us obese Americans.

And she tries to infer that the restaurant owner is confused about
calories. Calories mean squat in the face of a diet full of highly
processed crap carbs and fake fats.

Calories mean everything. It's all about how many you take in as
opposed to how many you burn.
