yeah, that´s true, in america there are really really fat people. Don´t know on average, though, but when you guys fatten, you do it for good!!
I remember, in the restaurant where I worked, there was that customer that came with a balloon in a trolley next to him, to help him breathe. He was such a big, fat, barely walking, ball of meat. He used to eat like, I don´t know, two trailers of seafood, and I was like, come on, man, do something for you and your pride, cut the gigantic dinners, lose some weight and stop being such a bag of sh*t with that balloon all day following you...
Also I observed that the servings were HUGE. I mean, I´m skinny and I´m 180 cm tall, not too much, but not small too, and I can live on 1/8 of a regular american serving of whatever food.
If you buy a pizza, it´s a foocking pizza, it has the same square surface as the whole damn Italy, and there are little counties in there, "Sausage land", "the lakes of cheese". If I wanted to get to the pepperoni, I had to rent a f*****g car and drive to it inside the bloody pizza.
I mean, I always ended eating more than I wanted because the servings were great. I know you are not forced to eat everything you buy, but temptation is hard to resist.
Also there´s the cheese thing, AND the fried thing, AND the sugar thing.
Tasty, but killer.
Ahhh, deep fried potatoes with cheese!!! mmmmmm..... I loved them, but I felt guilty everytime I ate them. That should be a sin, no doubt. I felt like I was shooting heroin in my arm everytime I held those little greasy motherfuckers, I knew that they could kill me, hurt my health, make me fat and raise tension and so on and so forth, but it´s like tobacco, you always find an excuse, they put thoughts on your head, so you always end asking them for pardon and crunching them in your mouth, and then the next day you feel like you ate concrete, rotten-cheese flavoured concrete, and you dump a humungous load in the bathroom, so big and hard and solid that the mere fact of dumping it is considered a*** sex in some islamic countries and punished with death.
Sorry for the long speech, but, hey, do I miss the USA!!!
