America is an enormous frosted cupcake in the middle of millions of starving people. - Gloria Steinem

I have no idea who the hell Gloria Steinen is but as far as I'm concerned, she's right on the money.

**************************

Food isn't so much a passion here it's a pass time, and judging by the enormity of some of the larger people here, they take it very seriously. I fear for my life if should I lose concentration and stray into the no-mans land between a large two legged mammal and an all you can eat buffet. Shit, I'd rather get between a cow elephant and its young calf.

I'm not against fat people in general but there are people here who are pushing the limits. Not only of how big you can get but of physics in general. Some of these people have a mass so large they are in grave danger of collapsing in on themselves and becoming black holes.

The super massive can only survive for so long and whole swathes of Americans risk imploding violently. Which in itself may not be a bad thing. It's the innocent bystanders who happen to be within the area who will suffer the most. After all, they will be sucked off their feet and dragged inexorably towards their death.

A sudden rush of air whizzing past will be the first thing they feel. The next sign of impending doom will be animals flying past with confused looks on their faces. Cats and dogs are not designed for flight, nor are they equipped for it, and many an innocent will be killed by low flying Schnauzers and out of control Californian Spangles before things really get out of hand.

The wind speed will then increase and larger, more cumbersome, things will be hoovered towards the event horizon. Motorcycles and small Japanese cars will be quickly followed by the ramshackle homes that Bubba-Joe Inbred and his kind live in. Next will be town and country type vehicles filled with confused vacationers, then Range Rovers and within minutes school buses and Semi Trucks will follow.

After a few hours all that will remain of the once great country that was once known as the United States will be a series of massive holes. Which, ultimately, was the cause of it all.

Do I need to get worried - or are we far away enough to not have to tie down everything we own?
Salagatle!

PS - She's probably sooooo right!

Dude, Gloria Steinem is/was the proto-typical feminist in the states. Whenever anyone speaks of feminism in this country, they often look to her to get 'the gospel,' so to speak.

As far as the whole fat thing in this country goes... It's called a food addiction in a lot of cases. I should know, I've got a 'mild' psychological food addiction. People here, use food as a comfort zone, happy place, type buffer for the ills of their lives as much if not more, than people use drugs or booze for the same thing. Plus have you really checked out the amount of crap (not literal) that they put into the food here? Preservatives, extra, extra, EXTRA doses of sugar, fat (for flavoring), caffine... chemicals that I couldn't even BEGIN to pronounce...

It's a sad state of affairs but there are some fringe doctors in this country that believe the food we eat and the drink we drink, are more toxic than... pretty much anything else. Maybe a rush to extreme judgement, but there are times I'd believe it.
