Items: People who live in big cities in Canada tend to live longer than those in rural areas. Should we be surprised? I don't know.
Continuing to prove that if you live in the USA, you can sue anyone for anything, comes this headline: Fat Americans sue fast food firms. And who are these persons of size suing? You guess it: McD, Burger King, Wendy's, and KFC. Here's a quote from one of the plaintiffs: "I always thought it was good for you. I never thought there was anything wrong with it." Yes, of course, nothing wrong with a burger smothered in special sauce with cheese, and that extra-super-sized pile of French fries cooked in hot oil. AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!
My question: why can't people of any height, size, shape or whatever, take responsibility for themselves rather than blame others? It's not a question of singling out overweight people - this applies to all of us. If I bitch about not getting enough sleep, who do I blame? Sealy Posturepedic because my mattress isn't working? Second Cup or Starbuck's because I had that extra-large latte? No, it's my fault I was up until midnight again last night, and feel like the dog's breakfast in the morning. So, what will happen if they win the lawsuit and get oodles of coin? Probably throw a pizza party to celebrate.
Speaking of fast food restaurants, it's amazing what you can get at A&W this summer:
