wait — the French don't have a childhood obesity epidemic?

Spotted by Christian and Megan on a French grocery store shelf. Nothing like a heaping bowl of Choco Crack first thing in the morning, you know?

         

Must be because French children spend their time playing stick-and-hoop and chasing balloons around cobblestone streets...

Don't you love the high-brow reference to history and culture? We all need a little Tut Ankh Amun or Ramses II with our sugary breakfast snack. I don't get the connection, but maybe it references Rin Tin Tin's adventures or the historical exploits of Asterix. Or maybe they just don't have Tony the Tiger.

Perhaps the French children keep their trim figures by only eating small portions of their Choco Crack, just as their parents do with cheese and fois gras.

And hey, it does say it has 8 vitamins and iron, underneath all the choco goodness.

They don't supersize everything over there.
