Why America Is Obese
Why does America have more obese citizens than the rest of the world? It's puzzled me, but we live in a capitalist society, and that goes beyond economics. We want our girlfriends skinny. We want our food cheaper and served quicker. More is better in this country.
So when some poor college student is staying up all night to study, what do you think he/she will go for? The smaller 8 oz can of Red Bull, or a 24 oz can of Monster Energy? More is better after all, and it's only around a dollar more. Let's face it, most, if not all people are gullible and do not consider consequences for small decisions like what to drink. P
It was a sign, we turned away,
Came too soon, as we did not see it,
Warnings fading away
Wildlife now withering, decadence now wrought
Refill, consume, destroy
Burned the oceans, fed the masses,
Children choking on their breath,
Trees now felled,
Another packet of paper
Oxygen waning, temperatures rise
Refill, consume, destroy
Pumping through the nozzle
Falling throughout space,
Sources depleted, another family goes hungry
Refill, consume, destroy
