Big Macs praised in France! Applause for the cheeseburger! According to two French nutritionists the relative fat-to-protein content of a Big Mac is considerably healthier than a slice of quiche lorraine. “M. Cohen and M. Sérog, two of the country’s best-known nutritionists, say that McDonald’s, and other sellers of fast foods, should not be held responsible for the growing levels of obesity in France.” Mickey D’s is not entirely off the hook, however: Filet-O-Fish, a repulsive product so unnatural that even the manufacturers of Dr Pepper would be ashamed to be associated with it, comes in for richly deserved criticism.
