Flimsy, distressing...and not just for the aesthetics! Such pictures from this country in juxtaposition with those of starving families around the world make me cringe. What we spend as a nation on diet bills and diet plans would undoubtedly feed much of the rest of the world. At some very fundamental level, that seems wrong to me.

XRISTIM: I think many fat people are on poor starchy diets and actually eat cheap foods. These guys ain't paying for any diet pills - they are waiting for their hot beef sandwich. You see lots of jokes with fat women and I just thought this would be a change.
MARY: I have a fridge magnet that says "Thou Shall Not Weigh More Than Thy Refrigerator".

Flimsy, a valid point...though watching shoppers pay premium $/oz for "snacks" of high caloric and low nutrition value inclines me to think better choices could be made, even on limited budgets.
