In the clip, Ainsley Earhardt says, "When you go to Europe, the food is delicious. It's so fresh. And you don't gain weight if you eat a big bowl of pasta. So we want that to come here to America."

People have a lot to say about this one!

A bunch of people pointed out that it has nothing to do with the food. It's the walking.

"If you take 16,000 steps per day while touring museums in the United States, you can eat pasta without gaining weight," this person said.
