I dunno Serge, that reminds me of a story...

[WAYBACK MACHINE]

I was riding home from the airport in a cab and had struck up a conversation with the Nigerian fellow that was driving. We got to talking about why he came to this country and where his expectations of it were exceeded and where he was dissapointed. When we really got down to what attracted him to the US.. His response, and I'll NEVER forget it, was...

"I wanted to come to a country where so many of even the poorest people can afford to be fat."

That one struck me.
