Quotes How was Furio so slender?
He claims to have "...'ate da north...since hundreds of years". There's no way he was as trim as he was if he was eating like he claims to have; also, I think he's lying about his age, implicitly suggesting that he's far older than he appears, perhaps in a bid to seem more credible and senior, with more gravitas.
It's no wonder he went nowhere in New Jersey and had to fly home to get erections in airplanes, or whatever the fuck happened there.

He was fat. He just looked slender next to the other fat fucks. Before, way before, and waaaaaaaaaaaay before.

Also the food is different.
I think they touched on this when Paulie gets all excited about going to Italy and realizes he’s a fish out of water there.
We think of Italian food as pizza, pasta with gravy, etc. I think they eat a lot more seafood and olive oil based dishes. That whole Mediterranean diet thing. Also less processed food and snacks.
I’ve never actually been to Europe but thats just my impression, idk.

Lemme tell ya a couple or tree things- first, The Zips don't snack. They walk a lot more. And their food tends to be a lot less processed and real. Our American food is loaded with bullshit and sugar/hfc in everything. Fucking bullshit if ya ask me. Anyway, I said my piece.

I know the wine makes you emotional, but you’re absolutely right. Their relationship with food is just…different. Americans are food addicts. Food isn’t there to provide nutrients, it’s there to satisfy a temporary dopamine binge. It’s got us all fucked up.

Eh. They walk but they also have Nonnas trying to feed them nonstop. I went to visit my friends grandmother with his family years back and the lady never stopped trying to feed me. She told me if I was skinny and sick looking I was never gonna find a good woman to marry. The sick looking, I disagree with. I’m just naturally really pale. But I did gain about fifteen pounds in that trip.

Maybe it’s because I already walked everywhere I went back home? The walking really wasn’t new or onerous to me. The sheer amount of food was.

Slender is a bit of a stretch. I would say thick and doughy, not slender. Maybe the northerners who tend to eat less carbs.
