Seriously?

As I prepare for my day, I read the news and watch the Today show. The newspapers tell stories of starving families who kill off their only milk-producing animal for meat, but on the Today show, they feature a new South Beach Diet.

I can't help but wonder if Americans are solely responsible for the food crisis. While the rest of the world starves, we are in the middle of an obesity epidemic. The world's food is in our bloated bellies.

On top of the over-eating, think of all the food we throw out. I did it just the other day, a few un-cooked noodles fell into my cat's food. I threw them out. I probably could have rinsed them off.

We are an over-indulgent wasteful nation, we have caused our own food and weight problems. No one is happy with what they have, with what they can afford. That's why we have the problems we do. No one needs $500 purse... the $30 one from Target is just as good, it's fucking disgusting how people spend money in this country. Fucking soccer moms in brand-new gas-guzzling SUVs with $500 Coach bags complaining about high grocery prices on the Today show. Fucking deal with you, you dug your grave, now lie in it, along with everyone else.

Many Americans are idiots. That's why we have the problems we do. And all the little idiots elected the biggest idiot of them all to lead. If you voted for Bush in 2004, you deserve what you got.
