Americans drive their cars to work, take the elevator to their desk, sit there all day, eat McDonalds, drive home, and sit in front of the tube. Yard work? Landscapers and a riding lawn mower. Weekends? More TV.

I say eat, drink, and be merry, but get off your obese toilet-busting ass if you're going to.
No argument from me on that. Europeans don't tend to eat any healthier than Americans, but with our sedentary lifestyles, IMO eating fried foods is the equivalent of eating poison.
