Let the fatty in @10 continue inhaling his cheetos & donuts. Dude's not getting laid with the gut on him and his health care costs are soaring. Pretty soon, skinnies like me are going to get health care discounts for looking good while chubbos like him dig their early graves. Have fun, fatties!<br />

      <![CDATA[One time I visited my friend Leo in Brattleboro who was a cook at a famous vegetarian restaurant.   As we hung out and went about town, I noticed that everyone was always eating.  The cooks would constantly snack.  If we went to someone's house he'd open the fridge and take a bite of a tahini sandwich.   Hungry all the time and eating every hour, but everyone in that circle was bone thin.<br />

<br />
Oh noes! Convenient <i>and</i> inexpensive food? How nefarious! I hope you can all see just how deeply evil this conspiracy is! While families with two working parents are clamoring for less convenient, more expensive foods... these evil empires are using devious psychological and chemical trickery to sell convenient and inexpensive poison, completely ignoring their customers' demands for healthier and more sustainable food.<br />
