Are there people who eat the equivalent of fancy french food every night?

What do you mean, fancy french food? Food from top restaurants? Yeah, some of the richest people eat like that every day. It's certainly not common.

Also why don't French women get fat?

France has a good "national diet", overall. Schools feed their students with very balanced meals, children are taught to taste a lot of different things quite early, it's kind of a national tradition. Don't get me wrong, we love to order pizza and eat fast food as well, we just do it occasionally and not every day.

You mean this?
It's pride, again, I guess. It's a national invention.
