Ainsi une étude sur la relation entre le sport et l’obésité vient-elle de paraître au Royaume Uni. Il y est dit que l’exercice physique n’est pas un facteur prévenant l’obésité, du moins chez les enfants de 4 ans. Surprenant et totalement contre-intuitif, non ? Les auteurs de l’étude montrent en fait que des enfants faisant 30min de sport de plus par semaine (pas énorme 30min de plus), et dont on informe les parents des bienfaits du sport, ne sont pas plus minces que les autres. Malheureusement, bien que l’on demande aux parents d’encourager leur progéniture, les auteurs n’ont pas jugé utile de les informer sur l’importance d’un régime alimentaire qui ne soit pas basé sur les barres de chocolat, les sodas et les fish and chips (CQFD avec le premier paragraphe :p).
Alors est-ce que comme moi vous doutez de l’intérêt d’une telle étude ?
ps : en réponse au commentaire laissé par un Britannique (sans doute), je souhaiterais préciser que le texte ci-dessus, jusqu'aux barres de chocolat (les journalistes déplorent en effet qu'aucun conseil alimentaire ne soit donné dans cette étude soit-disant scientifique), est tiré voire quasiment traduit du Guardian.

Le sport ça donne faim. CQFD.
Les anglais ont une grande tradition de joueurs de foot alcooliques avec une hygiène de vie déplorable.
Remind me, what is the French for xenophobe?
One could hope for better among the young and educated.
Perhaps the explanation lies in the remark by De Belloy, "Plus je vis d'etrangers, plus j'aimai ma patrie".
Who next, the Germans or the Turks, the immigrants or gypsies?
Or, as Antony Trollope would have it, is it that "We cannot bring ourselves to believe it possible that a foreigner should in any respect be wiser than ourselves. If any such point out to us our follies, we at once claim those follies as the specicial evidences of our wisdom."
French may no longer be the lingua franca it once was (and clearly not used here for diplomacy) but it is not a secret code. So Blogs that diss others are easily read by Johnny Foreigner.
It is said that travel broadens the mind; clearly, the comments found here might easily be regarded as the exception that proves the rule. Show some empathy for 'the other'; move on and get a life!
Hi, you write it in the same way but with an "accent" on the first "e".
What is the English for 'humour' ? :p
lol.
pas les turcs, c'est tous des voleurs intégristes de droite.
What has the english humour become? Or was it another wrong idea that the french have about english people?
Secondly, you anonymous should really open your eyes, espcially in the streets of Edinburgh where fat people are everywhere, as this health problem should not be underestimated.
Touche (acute accent implied but not shown as I type from an international, Anglophone, keyboard).
Is this discussion of les anglais good-humoured, serious warning or what? It comes across as somewhat self-serving and xenophobic - that may not have been your intent, but blogging is an open activity not an easy place for private jokes. French can be read by the non-French. And 'lost in translation' comes to mind.
Humour is not really the same as 'making fun of others', as in XXX are YYY, haha!
Is 'fat' a problem - mais oui, as is poverty, drug abuse, etc. Jokes about English fat blokes and fat slags abound within English humour - read Viz if you want to laugh with, rather than at les Anglais. The English do make fun of themselves, and enjoy others making fun of their-own-selves, but making fun of others crosses the line too easily: that fat Jewish nose, those fat black lips, those slitty eyes etc etc. Of course, the comments here are about national, not ethnic characteristics - sometimes about the English, sometime abut the Scots, and sometimes its not clear.
While we are on national stereotypes, the reference to hygiene (without the grave accent) is ironic, as lack of attention to hygiene is said to be characteristic of the French.
Johnny Foreigner is a strange fellow, perhaps we should look to the good.
... at the risk of being regarded as patroning, parts of this blog are fun, btw! ;)
Finalement ça valait le coup ces joutes verbales : on apprend finalement que tes posts proviennent directement des journaux britanniques ! ;D
Sur ce, en bon français dégueulasse, je vais piocher une assiette de la veille dans mon tas de vaisselle sale, et ensuite je me coucherai tout habillé dans des draps pas changés depuis 2 mois.
Bon ok, quitte a spammer autant aller droit au but.
Tu le vends combien ton viagra ???
Hi 'anonymous'. I don't understand what you're trying to say. Is there any big message hidden behind you text O_o ??
You should read British newspapers more often, could be useful :p
