most if not all of the customers are slender, race varies, mostly whites but a mix of the others

In the distance I can also view the deli and bakery, whose customers are usually "husyk" or obese folk buying fried chicken.

I had one lady yell at me in my face because of the price of organic lettuce. She was a little to large to walk so she had one of those rascals. I said to her " Ma'am ,its organic, you pay a premium for something that doesnt contain pesticides, hormones or rapes the land its grown on. If you'd like I can point you towards the "normal" lettuce and possible to the canned cabbage if that is what you are looking for."

I cant stand angry, fat people.

where have all the jolly fat people gone?

Since the airplane stays the same size no matter how it is loaded, the air resistance is constant and so are the purchase & maintenance, the only thing that increases is payload. Currently, airlines charge for passenger volume, not weight. That's a stupid way to do it, IMO, since people vary in both size & weight. But since size doesn't matter for payload computation, it is stupid not to account for payload mass and distance that the mass is carried

So charge passengers by ... $/(distance X mass)

Total Mass = passenger + carry-on + checked baggage. Distance is airport-to-airport.

In Bot-world, frequent fliers are skinny.

I'll bet that Americans eat more packaged, process foods than our European cousins. Anybody know?

It talks about the Nutritionist movement, which focus's on indvidual nutrients rather than actual "food". Most "food" isn't really food, just "food-like" substances with added nutrients...Not done yet, so will save an opinion for later.
