Just based on my observation as a French person, I'd say that the French are getting fatter as well. It only makes sense since more and more people are abandoning the "French way" of 2,3 meals a day eaten at the dinner table at fixed hours with the family, a healthy dose of red wine and variety in the plate. More and more people are falling to the sirens of Starbucks, McDonald's, KFC, Pizza Hut because it's easy and convenient.
The irony in this is that in the meantime in the United States (home of aforementioned franchises), a decent fraction of the population is going the other way and starting to eat healthy, incorporate more cooking and good produce into their diet. Funny how cultural soft power is so strong...
