That 'French paradox' thing should have the status of an urban myth by now.

It's never been about the wine, it's about the fact that the China study has been thoroughly debunked, yet people still continue to believe its message.  

It's no paradox that eating fatty food doesn't make you fat, and doesn't give you heart disease.  You don't have to be French to prove it.  You just have to stop being scared of dietary fat.  And stop taking notice of the USDA.  I don't think it's a stretch to say that they have actually caused the obesity epidemic.
