How americans Became The Fattest People In the world
A new book called ''Fat Land'' pulls no punches. Its author Greg
Critser subtitles it bluntly: How americans Became the Fattest People
in the World.
It is true that there is nothing quite as gross as a fat american.
Even frikken clothes sizes have to be coyly renamed to accommodate
them (the fast food industry is probably bankrolling that
one).Restaurant chairs and plane seats just arent big enough any more.
Only recently, a white woman suceeded in suing the hugely fat negro
American who sat next to her on a long-haul flight and overflowed into
her space, crushing and injuring her.
Since fat children are twice as likely as thin ones to become
overweight adults, the projection is that a third of american adults
will be obese by the year 2012.
Obesity opens the door to a whole bunch of killers, including heart
disease, heart problems, strokes, diabetes and lung problems. No
wonder that the World Health Organisation declares that obesity is
''the dominent global health issue, with america topping the list''.
The face of death is no longer the starving African, its the grotesk
overweight american. It isnt AIDS or malaria or malnutrition that will
kill them. Its being frikken to fat. americans are there already —78
per cent of them are overweight enough to begin experiencing health
problems as a direct result. What really sticks in my craw is; who
will PAY for these peoples medical costs? Thats right- the TAXPAYER!
The american goverment is fast running out of cash so you just know it
will be us 'western allies' who will be footing the bill in the long
run. We need to plan ahead to circumvent this so please contact your
congressmen NOW.
