And, the winner is ..... not us!

Again, today, I was sitting just inside our local Kroger store, a large supermarket, waiting for my wife. Obesity is not only a problem in this country, it is an epidemic. Any foreign power could take over this country, why, because they could outrun us. Say BOO, and take off running, and in no time at all, we would be falling back. Not all, but many, way too many.
This week, for example, this little blog was read by people in many countries. Turkey, Polandwas, Ukraine, France, Brazil, Germany, Russia, China and the Netherlands. I know little to nothing about the economies in those countries, but there must me many who would be in awe of our Krogers and the abundance of food items in the store. 

They would sit with me and look at the people coming in and going out. Many obese, some overly obese, obese husbands and wives, some, so obese they have to ride around in an electric cart, often, a cart filled with, cases of Coke and Pepsi, pies and cakes, many sugary products, and to maintain good health, bottled water, cases of bottled water, jugs of water, some, 5-gallon jugs of water.

And now, tattoos, so many tats, arms full, legs full, neck and backs full of tats. Conclusion, the sugar is causing normal people to acquire tattoos, it must be the sugar. Why else, would a normal appearing young woman, get her arms, her  legs, her neck, he shoulders .... and only she and the tattoo guy know what else might be covered with  sub - dural ink. "I have fat arms and fat legs, and I want you to see them, so I turned them in to works of art." And, the same goes for men. I don't know who started the fad, they even had their own TV shows. I have seen people, paying for their groceries with food stamps, which is fine, and they are covered from head to toe, with tats. Can one trade food stamps for tats. 

Someday, a foreign country, comprised of lean healthy citizens, will come to our border, thumb their nose and start running ..... at a distance, not too far away, we will drop to the ground, exhausted, panting, out of breath, just drop, and the lean healthy country will just take over. And, when we finally get our second wind, we rise, ready to defend out country, and they will bombard us, with Big Mac's and fries, cokes and shakes, and we will eat, and drop to the ground, again. No guns, no bombs, just Big Macs.
