he's going to have a heart attack, plus he's fat

Stop eating. (Except you nicole richie, you go right ahead.) According to the American Obesity Association, 64.5 percent of U.S. adults, age 20 years and older, are overweight and 30.5 percent are obese. That means that nearly one third of the adult population in this country is so fat that it has become "a risk factor for certain health conditions or increased mortality." We as Americans have such an unbelievably fat culture. It's disgusting. And fast food and snack companies are promoting foods that encourage this trend.

Every day they make it easier to eat more, faster. And that's what we as American consumers want. More. Faster. There's no artistry when it comes to American food consumption. We don't revel in dinner parties or cook up three course meals for our families. We shovel paper wrapped saturated fat down our gullets from the convenience of our vehicles. God forbid we walk inside a restaurant, sit down, and eat an actual meal. Although, at the rate we're going, if we all suddenly decided to eschew the McDonald's drive-thru and go inside, we might not all fit.

Seriously, though. Expend a little effort. Learn to cook, you might actually find it fun and enjoyable. Get something at the local sandwich shop instead of Burger King or Taco Bell. So what if they don't have a drive-thru, you'll survive the trecherous 5 yard hike through the parking lot. Think about what you're putting in your body. I may sound ridiculous ordering a half-caf, nonfat, soy latte with sugar free syrup - but at least im not fat.
