Once, before we had children, we went on a vacation to France. We took our bicycles and toured around the countryside with our friends. I highly recommend it. The nice thing about traveling on bikes is that, on a whim, you can go explore whatever interests you. One driveway we turned down advertised wine and foie gras. If you have not had the pleasure, foie gras is goose liver and is considered to be a delicacy. We saw a small pen containing geese. From what I understand, the geese are overfed and not allowed to move around very much until their livers become enlarged from trying to process their rich diet. Is this starting to sound familiar? Think of Americans like myself working in small offices or cubicles and sitting. Think of us eating way more of a diet of rich food than we need. Can you say, early onset diabetes? Pate anyone? Pass the crackers.
