Italians look slimmer.

I’ve always liked going grocery shopping. Especially to groceries that have delicatessens. And that’s even more so in Italy. Because I see different things. Different goodies. And I like to pick up a serving of this and that. To try new foods. Italian-style. My true love doesn’t always like the stuff I bring home. The high calorie fare. But I just suggest eating any and everything in moderation. Merely resist overeating. But she says it ain’t all that easy. To not put temptation in her way. Besides, she says she prepares more healthy food than do the deli people. Furthermore, my true love objects to the size of the portions. That I need to think smaller. Because instead of wasting food, she’s for finishing everything. Better than throwing it out. Anyway, I’m trying to get acclimated to Italian food. And I think most Italians know how to eat in moderation. They look slimmer than Germans. –Jim Broede
