We can say that today in France, only one adult in two can be considered healthy weight and according to the French national statistics obesity is being developed in a truly disturbing.

Based on the diagrams and figures presented by Dr. Marie-Aline Charles it, epidemiologist with the nutritionist of Inserm Arnaud Basdevant the results of the national damage dizzy. In 2009 32% of the adult population or 14 million people is overweight and of these, 14.5%, ie 6.5 million people, is considered obese.

From '97 to now we have gone from a rate of 8.5% of the obese to 14.5%. In short, every year that passes increases the percentage of obese regularly without sparing any age group. Indeed one can say that, from generation to generation, obesity appears increasingly early in the course of life and is becoming increasingly important.

The frequency of severe obesity that correspond to the so-called group of the population most at risk have moved from one doctor, 5 to 3%, 9%. Basically in twelve years on average every Frenchman is fattened by about 3.1 kg and her belly has grown by about 4.7 cm! There are many people I know live with regard to food and own a real passion. Some are able to cross the length and breadth of the entire city to find the market with the best fresh fish, in another district the best meat, and the same goes for vegetables and fruit more tasty, not to mention more Bakeries refined and delicious, even in neighborhoods scattered farther away.

Prepare and cook with love for several hours and then once at table, speaking only of what they have in the pot! But what amazes me and I find contradictory is that these people often behave in a totally different way with their children.

No restrictions on food, eat the brisk, perhaps even inevitable in front of the television or computer screens that are always lit. The baby food is accompanied by soda, ketchup and any kind of sweetener which unfortunately accustomed to a small taste and a sweet addiction and sugars. These children end up having an aversion to the food supply are essential to Lora, such as fruits and vegetables.

Nutritionists say the importance of stress by cooking the vegetables and fruits in presenting the different ways to make and delicious to eat little and get used to their palate. I think this is essential not only to the choice of adequate food and education but also to the time to plan meals and to this important and irreplaceable moment of family life that threatens to impoverish more and more.

And so I wonder how you can be so attentive towards our personal power and be so little in relation to that of our children?

In France there is only one woman with the quality of chef de cuisine to be awarded three Michelin stars, his name is Anne Sophie Pic, from a dynasty of great chefs for over 120 years.

Anne Sophie has taken over the running of the family restaurant founded by his great-grandmother. Since 2005 she is the mother of a little boy and it responds to a reporter who asked if one day his son will direct his restaurant:

"I do not really know, what he chooses to do great in his life. But one thing you can be sure, I am responsible to train, educate and awaken your taste.

The taste recalls the emotions, is something emotional, anchored in the past that recalls memories. When I started cooking I drew on the flavors and products that I loved in my childhood. I was looking for the tastes and emotions related to my findings.

When you're young you constantly discover new things and tastes. Over the years the emotions linked to the discoveries become rarer, of course, that's why we are looking good and eating his own taste "

The power supply is a matter of culture and not neccesariamente money. We must learn to eat as you learn to speak, read and write.

E 'therefore our duty to teach children the best of what we received. The aim is to find together, preserve and pass on the concepts of pleasure, taste, emotions and especially sharing on which the real cuisine is based.
