About This Quote
Paris is the only city in the world where starving to death is still considered an art. The city that was once home to the rich and famous now holds the title of “happiest place on earth.” Paris has managed to take pride in its severe hunger problems by making it into an art form. The city hosts an annual “Eating Contest” where wealthy, well-known people compete for the title of “World’s Fattest Person.” There are also many restaurants around town which allow you to serve yourself until you literally drop dead.
