Thanks :)
Fissulyna: I don't smoke and I live in Europe, and very few of my friends do. But I really agree with you, moderation is the way to go. I think wine, good food and other things that are considered to be "bad" are actually good for you when used in a moderate way.
Europe is getting "fatter" as it is influenced by "the American lifestyle". Britain for example has a the biggest amount of clinically obese people in Europe (according to health guru Gillian Mc Keith). But I guess they cannot only blame the USA for that, it might be their famous fish n'chips, and what they eat in general. (Have some of you seen Gillians TV shows?).
The French people are still quite thin, but they eat a lot of healthy food, a lot of vegetables, etc. It is strange to see the difference between the French and the Italians, the Italians loving their pasta and pizza - and it shows on them, esp. when they are over their first youth.
Obesity is an increasing problem in Norway as well, even among youngsters.
