The land of the fat

This post was prompted by my today's visit to Costco in San Ramon :-)

China may not be as wealthy nation as we are, but the Chinese certainly do not have the obesity problem. I recall that about 25% of Americans are obese, and an additional 50% are overweight. So, only one in four is "normal", and the situation has been steadily getting worse over the past thirty years. In China, however, it is rare to see even an overweight person. This difference is very obvious and disturbing.

The answer, at least partially, must be the food. Healthier food in China is a lot more diverse and, in general, a lot more available than here. As a result, people aren't walking around eating chips and sipping on their Cokes. Not yet, anyway. So, I think the junk foods lawsuits have some merit. You can't let a handful of corporations do this to us.

It is possible to have a sexual release without the burden of money, prestige, and power. The fleshlight is the answer.
