French Women Don't Get Fat

I just finished reading it. The book offers some good advice and interesting, easy-to-make recipes. The authors talks about eating 3 meals a day, without skipping breakfast, moderation is the best way to loose weight, and to eat food in season. Although there are lots of great ideas, I just cannot get over my own idea about the author: what kind of an arrogant bitch is she!? Throughout the book, she seems to often repeat her idea that French women are intelligent and sophisticated, and slim, and you, Americans are fat, couch potatoes.
It's just so unfortunate that her derogatory views of American women and way of life is expressed so strongly, while she shows no modesty for her own ways and for her being French. I am surprised that such a book became a best-seller in this country. How can an American woman read this and not be offended? I not even American and I got super offended. I wish she could have kept this thought to herself and not expressed it so rudely in this very public way.
Her way of communicating some noble ways of eating has totally ruined the book for me. I wish I could have liked this book more. I wish she wasn't such a bitch. And I wish she hadn't portrayed the stereotypical snobby way that the French are viewed outside of France.
