I'm an American, can I say it? Though I'm not fat, some in my family are, and are paying the price in high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, arthritis, etc. The American satirical weekly The Onion says it.

Drifting off topic but can't resist: As someone who has recently given up sugar (mostly. 100% no sugar drinks, I never ate much sugary food but still use ketchup and whatnot), I can say that there is practically NO selection when it comes to drinks. Everything has sugar. The only things that I can find to drink are water and tea. It's an insidious poison.
And there's no choice, son.. Can you believe? Recoiling in horror, you run off and take refuge in a tall glass of iced tea, read the product label, and there's high fructcose corn syrup in it. You drop that, shrieking in horror towards the sports drinks thinking athletes must know what's good for them, resolve to drink Gatorade for the rest of your life and that too has high fructose corn syrup. That the poison poisoning us with poison. So, there's no choice, son, but the poision or water. Which tastes of semen.
"No. The reason for your long ago banning was petty." You'd better have a good roision for this troison of not continuing this roiming with the poision, son.
Goddamn corn subsidy. The only place you can get a real Coke is from a taco truck. They have Mexican Cokes with sugar, not corn syrup. No corn subsidy in Mexico. And the fat asses get fatter.
Anybody want a peanut? Hmm. Anus? No. That doesn't rhyme.... (Sorry. Laughing too hard, must clear mind, gather faculties, think.) Been getting enough sun? You look a little wan. Hmmm. (Roison...) Ah. I never had a helicopter but I always wanted to floy one. Muaha!
Help us all out, Monkey. See, one of the things that really annoys the moderators is when we go to look into something and find out that a complaining member has lied. To dramatize: One day Monkey calls the police, who come out and take down the information. "He hit me," Monkey explains. "For no good reason whatsoever." So the police go over and ask the accused. A few minutes later, they come back, ask Monkey some more questions, and then place him under arrest. Word goes out: "Monkey arrested for being assaulted!" Lawyers offer their services, politicians offer their support, radicals condemn the evil police. Come trial day, everyone is shocked when they find out the reason he hit Monkey is because Monkey was throwing poo at his children. While 'tis true, then, that "he hit Monkey", not the same for the claim that it was for no good reason. Now, nobody's actually accusing anyone at this point of throwing poo on children. But here's my problem: I don't see the racism bit. In fact, when I found the citation for the "Americans are fat" crack, I found a yellow card for posting meaningless content. And, while many around here post even less useful material, this is what happens when someone makes sure moderators notice their conduct. More to the point, though, I'm having a hard time finding the point about racism and my fatty-fat, douchebag, beer-swilling, pork-rind munching, NASCAR loving, "Give me a forty-ounce diet soda because I'm trying to lose weight while I stuff myself with cheese puffs" American neighbors. Mountainhare got a flag, too, for meaningless post content. If it wasn't a month ago, I'd go flag Draqon, as well, for taking part in it. So help me out, Monkey ... where exactly is the bit about racism? Because I'm left giving others the following advice ..... • • • As far as I can tell, yes. Watch out for the flying poo.
` "The pellet with the poison's in the flagon with the dragon! The vessel with the pestle has the brew that is true!"
So in this rag I've been weaving since I've gotten here, I'm discovering that the Monkey is an object of scorn now? Why? You were him once, Tessie. Hear that distant squealing in sesquepadelian lingo? That's you beating a petty infraction to death and, of course, everyone else was wrong but you. Sure, he posts useless content every now and then which eats bandwidth, but from all appearances I'd rather have a contributing member with a chip on his shins than an idle teenager. The Monkey, from the little I remember, was beyond instrumental in the biology section.
