Will wonders never cease?

According to researchers, obesity can be linked to large food portions. *gasp* Wow. They had to spend money and do research to figure that out? I never would have figured it out if they hadn't! Those clever scientists.

France may have it's (many) downfalls, but I will admit that the women are beautiful, the fashion is gorgeous, and the food portions are fantastically small. Apparently, candy bars there are sixty percent smaller than over here. I was told once that I ate like a French woman. But in America, that's seen as being anorexic. (Okay, I am anorexic too, what's your point?)

I still just can't understand why you'd need to spend money to figure out that eating more makes people gain weight. What happened to common sense?

It's like how there's this whole big ordeal now that America is overweight because of the government. Because, supposedly, livestock farmers get more financial help than produce farmers, and corn farmers as well. Meaning that it's the government's fault that people are consuming so much corn syrup and meat products. I beg their pardon. The government is obviously going to aid what is in for the biggest demand. *rolls eyes*

However.

I do feel that food is pushed on us everyday. I see more billboards for food than I do for public safety.

What does that say about America?

*sigh*

I hate food.
