We're going at the French food boycotts all wrong Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

I think we are going at this all wrong. Instead of not eating foods associated with France, Americans should eat foods that the French don't like.

According to French novelist, Colette:
"Don't eat too many almonds, they add weight to the breasts"

So, girls in the US should start eating more almonds.

It's a win-win situation.

first of all, who is this Colette and why she allowed ot keep writing? Giving out stupid advice like this?

Second: foods the French don't like? Have you seen French menus? They eat everything! Perhaps they eat less processed foods, but given America's waistline, this is the last thing Americans should be eating more of.

almonds are actually one of the best foods you can eat as long as you do it in moderation

low in saturated fat, really high in the good types of fat, lots of fiber, and protein. Plus they taste good, I eat almonds almost everyday. However, I seriously think Coletteis wrong about almonds=big tits, if she was right there would be tons of infomercials peddling almonds

Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

To boycott France, as a consumer, just avoid vacations in their country and encourage others to do so also.

Tourism is their biggest consumer based American 'export'.

They are only growing at 1% so it doesn't take too much to push them into a recession.

Well, most people don't listen to the French so it could be some undiscovered secret.
