From the news:
"Fast Food industry is a $250 billion a year business"
"Obesity in America costs $70 billion dollars a year, $40 billion which falls on the taxpayers"
Think about that next time you order...

Eat where you want, just don't expect my tax dollars to pay for your fat ass.
Oh, wait, they do. I don't know if that makes me angrier at the fat people or at the government for paying for them.

are you saying a BigMAC should cost more or less?

Some filmmaker recently made a documentary about what happened to him when he went on an all McDonald's diet for a month. He said his cholesterol level soared, his liver became overloaded, and his energy level and sex drive went down.

The film is "Supersize Me" and it was purchased for distribution following its showing at Sundance recently. It is on my list of documentaries that might be worth a ticket.
Another one that looks pretty good is "Open Water", about two tourists in the Caribbean who get left by their dive charter group and are stuck floating in the middle of the Gulf. No mechanical sharks - the actors really were in shark-infested waters during the filming. :eek:

Americans get fat and blame each other for it.
It's what we do...like a hobby. Blaming others for our faults.
LIke the people who go on Springer and blame their parents for their drug problems. Or the people that sue the tobacco industry because they get cancer from smokeing for 30 years.
:D

Big Macs and whoppers don't affect the sex drive one bit, take it from this parcel delivery man.

How?
obesity related ills.
who pays for those that aren't covered?
higher med. insurance premiums?

the hell with the walking stick, you can get one of those electric scooters.
I always wonder when I see the 450 lb women on those at the grocery store. are they riding the scooter because they are too fat to walk? or are they too fat to walk because they ride around on a scooter instead of walking?

Irwindale is an "industrial community". Few actual homes and lots of businesses. Picture 10's of thousands of workers all needing lunch every day. The place is infested with fast food joints. And the actual population is quit small compared to the number of people who just work there.
There are liars, dam liars, and statistitians.

Don't worry Rip, you will get your dream when they finish socializing our health care system. The govt. will ban any food they percieve to be a health risk "for the good of the nation".
-
Fast food is part of the culture. Even those running for office hand it out.

We need to teach Americans moderation, that's the real problem.
