  • fucking fresh butter..........

  • @PartialMathers10

    Americans are really really lazy

  • Honestly, I eat more than I should and don't exercise at all and I'm 1/3 those people. I'm convinced that you have to TRY to be in that sort of shape. And you have to be stupid too. If you eat french fries and drink coke for every meal, you will gain weight!

  • @AnarchoCannibal And those should be front-loaded taxes and subsidies, not back-loaded, meaning you don't punish fat people, you punish fat eating. You don't make fat people pay higher insurance premiums and plane fares, you tax the fat burger. It won't work back-loaded because it's easier to control the offending behavior directly. $10 cheeseburgers are way more effective than $10,000 insurance policies.

  • If there's money to be made making people fat, then we will be fat. We're just behaving as humans in a particular environment. Tax fat and subsidize lean.

  • this is a perfect example of americas laziness. is it really that hard to lose weight? a few minutes a day to workout shouldn't be a problem.

  • Right. I noticed that when I arrived here in the U.S.A 2 years ago.

  • Mexico is where the money is at???? Mexicans are trying to get over here lol.

  • Just anthor problem of the USA ''best country''. So many fat and overwieght people, no to mention the highest crime rate, as well as the higest number of deaths to drugs. This is not the best country, this the land of the problems. Mexico is where the money is at, I am moving when I turn 21.
