Food for Thought

So, I found this on my personal blog, jenidowntime, and decided to re-post it here b/c it is very appropriate:

For those of you who watch what you eat, here is the final word on nutrition and health. It's a relief to know the truth after all of those nutritional studies:

1) The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

2) Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

3) The Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

4) Italians drink a lot of red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

5) Germans drink a lot of beer and eat lots of sausages and fats and still suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

CONCLUSION: Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently what kills you.
