So true about Europe!
When I was in Spain, I felt like a cow. I wear an 8 here, or a 40-42 in French/ Spanish sizes. 42 is the largest size carried in most mainstream stores... I was shocked. All the girls in Spain are so small. Of course, they are short to boot (at 5' 6" I towered! It was a little funny).
The funny thing was they didn't workout, and they didn't eat healthy. There weren't any salad, running, organic food fanatics like in CA. They just would eat really small portions, and they waked everywhere. Lots of people had motos but no one had a car. Most places you got to by walking. Also, the idea of fast food was almost non existent. If you went to McDonalds, you sat to eat. No one took food or drink (except water or maybe some candy) out on the sreet. Coffee was served in ceramic at the bar. Meals were meals. Of course, they are facing a generation of children who grow up far more american than the others, and they too are worried about obesity.
