The US media continues in its campaign which alleges that the reason why people choose fries over apples is not because they have been conditioned to do so by media campaigns which generate billions in revenue for privatized health care, rather there is a gene which determines this. The FTO gene is now being blamed not for higher metabolism but the desire to go for more calorie “enriched” foods. Yeah. And not the fact that peoples taste buds have been trained to react to MSG, preservative laden, nutrient devoid food, and have been told that in order for food to be fast it must also be unhealthy. This is asides the point that 99% of Americans at some point immigrated to the country, or for a significant portion dragged their against their will, thus we shouldnt at all be shocked that this random sample of the global population has the anomalie of being obese. Right. Because Africans are so fat, because the poor pioneers who sought to live off their backs werent agile at all, clearly clearing the western frontier was accomplished by fat indoctrinated fucks who were able to thwart the geurrila warfare efforts of millions of native Americans. Clearly, the reason for American obesity has nothing to do with culture whatsoever and we should all buy the pill that increases metabolism in order to continue exceeding our share of the earths resources.
