Well-known as gourmets(美食家),the French spend more time sleeping and eating than anyone else among the world's rich nations,according to a study published on Monday.
The average French person sleeps almost 9 hours every night,more than an hour longer than Japanese and Korean,who sleep the least in a survey of 18 members of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). Despite their siesta(午睡)habit,Spanish rank only third after Americans, who sleep more than 8.5 hours. And while more and more French people prefer fast-food chains these days or wolf down a sandwich at their desk, they still spend more than two hour’s a day eating.
That means their meals are twice as long as those of the average Mexican, who spends just an hour a day on food,the OECD’s “Society at a Glance” report on work, health and leisure(休闲) in Asia, Europe and North and South America found. The Japanese manage to spend close to 2 hours a day eating and drinking, placing them third behind New Zealanders.
Despite the limited time, Americans spend eating each day---about an hour and a quarter---U.S.obesity(肥胖) rates are the highest in the 30 members of OECD. The Japanese like to spend their rare free time watching TV or listening to the radio. This takes up 47 percent of leisure time in Japan. Norwegians spend the most time at leisure,just over a quarter of their day,while at the low end,Mexicans spend just 16 percent of their time having fun.
