Fat Americans

Critique our lefter leaning European socialists as I may, but I will admit one thing;

They're in better shape than us.

Heck, most of the world is in better shape than us.

I go to the gas station only to see some fat sow with an arm-load of candy and junk food in her hands drop more on fattening foods (and cigarettes and lottery tickets) than she did on gas.

And their male counterparts, sitting their with their beer in their hands, watching football, don't redeem the men either.

Sad, because you'd think one of the finer pleasures in life is being physically attractive to somebody so you can have wild crazy hot greasy monkey sex.


(From The Economist's The World in 2006, get a freaking subscription already)


Perhaps eating is more enjoyable than sex...though I've yet to have a Chipotle fajita that is that good.

I should. I've contacted them, telling them they should advertise in the Twin Cities and that I found it an abomination that just recently The Economist got its 1 millionth subscriber.

The marketing director for the US (lives in NYC) said they aren't interested in doing any advertising outside the likes of NPR or the boring ass radio shows.

So sad, the US has suffered so much from the MSM that The Economist is missing their chance to make a killing.

I'm reminded of the article in last week's Economist, referencing the working paper about why europeans smoke more than americans. The end of the article speculated that Europeans have better waistlines because they're smoking instead of eating.
I'd rather be fat with somewhat healthy lungs than to be a waif hooked on nicotine.

I don't know JTapp. I'm in Minnesota where allegedly we're the "healthiest state in the union" and I can't go a day without seeing some fat slob with 4 milkyway bars in her hand or some Chris Farley look alike risking a hernia trying to get out of his pick up truck. Not to mention the kids. CRIPES!

i hear one more local politician say our children are starving in this state, I'm going to pummel them.

European I really think just do eat better. But I could be wrong, it could be the cigarettes. either way the fat bastards infront of me in the check out line can set their effing Enquirer Magazine down along with the Tootsie rolls and may go walk a couple miles.

Well, lets blame the tariffs on sugar that basically entices all food producers to use lower-cost high-fructose corn syrup, which is much worse than cane or beet sugar because it goes straight to fat.
