Go stand outside Mcdonalds and look at the younger ones. Fast food culture is making it's mark.
If you step back in time to the comunist era when food was in short supply and if you had dollars you could buy anything. If you didn't you struggled and could only look in the window of the American shop. The general population could not afford the likes of sweets and sweet things. They were a rare commodity and a treat. Now they are considered a necessity by some Polish Mothers who justify it because they never had.
The tide is turning and the European malaise is coming.
An Italian guy once told me "It's good to be seen with a skinny girl, but fat ones are more comfortable in bed." and "Skinny girls are like Ferrari's, High maintenance. Marry a fat one, you can afford the Ferrari and have all the skinny ones you like".
The second is problably true :)
