Going To Mass

Great news from Randall Parker. The Germans are now officially fatter than Americans...

The International Obesity Task Force estimated that Finland, Germany, Greece, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Malta have exceeded the United States figure of 67% for overweight or obese males.

Good news indeed. As a "Person of Weight" myself, I feel no guilt in indulging my schadenfreude (a German word, you know) at the expense of the Deutsche Volk. And how delightful to discover that there is such a thing as an "International Obesity Task Force." I envision it steaming into San Francisco Bay, laden with low-carb snacks.

"O brave new world, That has such people in't!"

In the spirit of the great Baltimorean, we indulged in a typical German feast last Friday eve, at Ludwig's in Center City, much to the consternation of the Obesity Task Force of Northern California.

If you can't beat 'em, join 'em!

Great news. Now let's work on fattening up the French, particularly those women who, so the claim goes, don't get fat.
