    Is 'U' really that much easier to say than 'You', and including an apostrophe between the 'n' and 't' in didn't to make it didn't?

    I swear to god it takes 1 second and instead of making you look like an ignorant tool you appear as someone who may have an actual point to make. How serious would you take me if all my posts were 'lyk omg gaiz, my bff jill is liek hom 4 teh summerz'. You wouldn't, you'd laugh. Yeah, yeah, this isn't English class, but it is the real world, and people who act like idiots deserve to be treated like idiots.

    Its funny how you guys keep referencing being 80 you'll have no memory and you'll be brain dead. There are millions of old people who suffer from no such illnesses.

    Actually most, if not all, people suffer from some sort of mental dysfunction as they age. Whether it be something as extreme as alzheimers (which is almost worse than death) or as miniscule as having to write down notes to remember things, your brain ages, it rots and it becomes less and less useful.

    The United State citizen's indulge a lot of fast food since it is shoved in their face. But a lot of them are ignorant and think something that taste so good must be good for them. I remember a case where two girls sued McDonalds for making them fat, hah. The US's obesity rate is alarming, there really needs to be health programs for people who are obese that or stop giving them care if they don't commit to becoming better.

    I understand English may not be your primary language (despite living in Ohio), but please make an effort to communicate more clearly in the future.

    The average American does *not* think that just because food tastes good that it is good for you, generally most people believe the opposite. A person's problems with obesity can be a variety of things, thus your idea about health programs and such is really ignorant on your part, and for lack of a better word stupid. People can be overweight because of the way their body harvests resources. People can be overweight because of a Thyroid issue. People can be overweight because of an accident that effects pretty much any part of the digestion track. People, like you, always seem to think that obesity is a result of not taking care of themselves. Some people have been known to border anorexia and still gain weight due to their system. One may think a surgery can fix the issue, or a dieting plan, or exercise plan, it doesn't work 100% of the time.

    Now, this isn't to say that a vast majority of obese people are largely responsible for their condition, but I did want o make the point that a fairly substantial group of people honestly cannot help it.

    I think it is also worth noting that there are medical records showing food as being a substance one can abuse and become addicted to very similar to drugs. Certain foods (chocolate as an example) release chemicals into the body that cause your body to react a specific way. You can become chemically dependent on it variant on the food and your average in-take of said food. Most often, however, its merely a mental addiction like most addictions are. Certain individuals have different chemical makeups that make their reaction to specific foods like euphoria (think of it like a reverse allergy in how it works with your body).

    The US diet is way beyond sad and it's heart breaking to know that our country is suffering from something so easily preventable. Over the past few months I've been changing my diet and discovering new ways to prepare healthy food, and eat healthy (and the food tastes just as good as the bad ----, so I don't see a reason why I ever let myself eat such horrible foods.) And you can eat 3 full meals a day and those meals can have less than 500 calories total. Hell, I've eaten breakfast and lunch today already and didn't even consume over 350 calories and I was FULL after each meal.
