In 2007 a group of twenty undergraduates from the Lyman Briggs residential College of Science at Michigan State University participated in a new summer Study Abroad Program in Paris on language, art and science (http://www.msu.edu/~luckie/paris/ ). In addition to having opportunities to study language at the Sorbonne, and compare the "science of art" to "the art of science," they participated in a senior thesis project where documentary film groups chose to investigate topics that compared contemporary issues, in science and health, of France.
This student-made documentary film examines the so called "paris paradox" that results from the fact that americans don't understand how the french can eat all the foods the US considers evil [and the cause of obesity] and yet they remain slim. The filmmakers state: "The group members of Vingt-Vingt spent a portion of their summer investigating a myth in Paris, France. Are the French really as skinny as Americans make them out to be? This is the burning question that we investigated in our documentary film. How can they indulge in croissants, bread, pastries, cheese, wine and champagne and not have an obesity problem? The French are known around the world as the leader in fine cuisine. So then what is the trick behind their dining habits? We interviewed Parisians to get answers and find out more about the French culture."
This film was created as part of a senior thesis research project in a course at Michigan State University. Learn more here: http://www.msu.edu/course/lbs/492/luckie

U.S. Government Seeks To Address Obesityby VOAvideo2,472 views
In the U.S., it is usually an option to take part of the meal home instead of eating everything at once. Half of lunch becomes dinner. Rarely will you see anyone doing this.
