and saturated fats.

Poverty has nothing to do with being overweight ("overmisundernourished") - that's a complete and utter myth and I'll go balls-to-tits with anyone who claims that being poor makes one overweight. Being depressed makes people smoke. Being rich makes people snort coke. Being short makes people **crap I got nothin'**:P. :shrug:

Americans are fat. Visit Hong Kong or Shanghai or the middle east, or south asia; it's embarrassing to come back to an American airport. Visit a walking city like NYC or San Fran and there are a lot fewer misoverundernourished people walking around, generally speaking.

There you go, I probably just got added to the no-fly list.
