Slim For Life

The obesity rate in France is 17%, compared with the UK, which is approximately 27.8% of adults considered obese, and 63.7% are either overweight or obese!

Organic meat and vegetables can be harder to find outside certain supermarkets or specialist shops, and the prices are often a barrier. “Corn fed” doesn’t mean organic or higher welfare; it simply means the animal was fed corn, which can increase fat content and change the flavour, but it does not indicate the quality of the farming. Many convenience foods in the UK tend to be high in calories, sugar, salt and saturated fat, and they are often the cheapest and most easily available options, which contributes to the problem.

🇫🇷 France offers a different baseline. There is a stronger food culture centred on fresh produce, home cooking, smaller portions and more regulated school meals. Their supermarket landscape also leans more toward minimally processed foods. It is not perfect, but the everyday choices people make are shaped by a healthier environment.

🇬🇧 In the UK it is possible to eat well, but it often requires extra effort. Growing your own vegetables, even in small containers, can make a difference. Local farm shops, veg box schemes and community supported agriculture often provide better produce than supermarkets. Higher quality options exist, but you usually have to look for them.

None of this is the fault of individuals. Food environments shape behaviour, and when the easiest and cheapest choices are the least healthy ones, it shows up in national statistics.
