      We eat that way because we don’t. Heart disease is the only way we’re going to end up going out quickly enough to avoid end of life hospital bills. I mean it’s not like any of us have the means to afford to retire.

      Americans have been sold and eat up the idea that instant gratification beats the effort needed to realize something greater.

        No no you see, Americans work* so much, they don’t have time to first learn and then practise to cook healthy meals at home. Hence fast food chains!!

        *work American style, as in staying at work long hours but also spend about 60% of their work day chatting with co workers, or on the phone, going on personal, non-work related errands, browsing the internet, selecting, getting, eating, and ridding their bowels of food.

          Try getting a blue collar job, and tell me again how the majority of American workers are slacking. Must be nice over there in your “office job,” that clearly can be done working at home.

          Also I don’t know about other office jobs, but in IT, it was feast or famine. When there was work to be done, we worked 100 hour weeks, but when we finally managed to put out all the fires, yeah we would spend weeks at a time working on side projects, not slacking off.

            Blue collar? I was obviously not talking about you losers, so shut your gd mouth and go back to pounding rocks.
