"I bet 'cha dog poop tastes better than that!" - some fat kid...

While working on my translation work in preparation for the final, I'm watching "Honey, we're killing the kids!" which (since all of my readers aren't American) is a new show on TLC where they take fat parents with fat kids and use this computer program to show how disgusting and unhealthy they will look when they are 40 years old. They give them a three-week healthy eating/exercise regime to improve their lives. The part that makes my bowels cramp with laughter is how the simple task of cooking (which I consider almost an instinctive skill) is so foreign and scary to these people! This one woman stared at an avocado (one of my favorite fruits) and had absolutely NO idea what to do with it!!! Her sausage-like fingers struggled to crack the code that would allow her access to the squishy inner realm of the avocado. When they show the sloppy attempts at making a freshly cooked meal, it's clear that these people have never used anything in their kitchen besides the microwave. It suprises me that they can find the silverware... Anyway, these people make these delicious meals, with squid, or tofu, things I'm drooling over at home. To my horror, their gelatinous children gag and vomit. The parents scrunch up their faces. The only explanation I can think of is that their toxin-loaded bodies are actually REJECTING anything that doesn't have an 80% crap content! Only in America would one find such a shocking level of underdevelopment. This reminds me of the time when Ross and I were on the bus coming back from Bradford City Centre and this fat woman was giving her fat toddler coke in a baby bottle. Ok, I just realized that this rant was completely pointless and soley for the purpose of keeping me away from my work...ugh...back I go....I still have three essays to write...
