Episode notes

I think I got used to the US way of eating the US portion. Surprisingly, the people there though are still very fit and everyone stays in good shape. That's probably because you're walking around all day and you're much more active than any other country. And they also just know how to moderate food. So where would you put Italian? I think we got yelled at so much from Italian that it's not going to be a lot of that. It's on the bottom of the list because people did not use it nicely. French has more character and it feels more sultry. What about you? That was my answer too.
