I apologize or not having read every line of every post on this thread but on the subject of obsesity in America:

Has anyone noticed the supposedly "comical" ads that AM-PM is running about "too much good stuff" ...at least out here in California; I don't know about elsewhere?

The guy is riffing on buying hamburgeres and nachos and Slim-Jims, laughing at the straight man having mentioned, "isn't that bit much?" WHat is clearly implied is there is no such thing as too much "good" - meaning junk food - stuff. I am NOT in favor of censorship at all, but I have to think this kind of advertising has an impact on younger people. Let's face it, a lot of us LIKE that junk food crap. I like a donut as well as the next guy but if you keep telling people there's no such thing as too much "good stuff" it an't be good. We're eating ourselves into a population cirrection!
