Yeah, I know they have Dubya while we just have to put up with Blair but somehow I dont think that explains it all...

Obese womans basket in front of me today:

processed toaster pastry, frosted flakes, 4% milk, pork bologna, candy, processed bleached white sandwich bread, fruit sherbet, Dr. Pepper.

This is the new normal. But if that woman had just changed a few things her figure would become svelte in a few months. Unfortunately, a lot of uneducated folks in the states dont make just a bad dietary choice or two, everything they eat, pretty much, is garbage.

it leaves good food for the rest of us.

i will wait till they all die of obesity an then laugh as a new world emerges.

sadly the way of evolution :/

QuoteIn the US $5274 is spent per capita on medical care while in UK, taking both nationally funded and private healthcare into account, that number is just $2164.

Those who would prefer an American style health service thinking its more efficient please feel free to cough up the extra dosh (about Ã,£1800 each a year should cover it)

About half of our healthcare cost is administrative. :shock:
