But that grotesque morbid obesity you see at 
http://www.fatchicksinpartyhats.com and 
http://tinyurl.com/pn3bc occurs with any frequency only 
in America.  It can't just be the corn syrup if other 
nations consume the stuff and don't have the grotesque 
obesity of middle America.  I'm not talking about 
people who are 15, 20 or even 30 pounds overweight. 
I'm talking about those red-faced, sweaty, 5'2" 265 lb. 
behemoths in muu-muus that you see in red states.  It's 
not the corn syrup, for crap's sake - it's the people, 
and their complete lack of discipline and self respect.
