International eating habits. Not exactly fat people, say, for example Gordon Brown or Jade Goody (Although my sources tell me she is currently on a fantastic weight loss regime) but morbidly obese people and very hungry people. The sort of people that complain they are suffering of being a fatty mid-mars bar, and the type who are forced to eat each other (I assume).
This child for example, tucking into a McDonalds meal, clearly is obese. I blame the parents.
As opposed to this man who is so hungry he is eating cow shit.
Now, I don't want to fall through the already thin comic ice on which I am currently standing, but there are a few things about obesity/starvation that I would like to get off my chest.
I was watching a programme on T.V earlier and the surgeon claimed there are now "more obese people in the world than starving" Which - of course, is bollox. But still, you can't help but think "Why dont, instead of sending rice over to the poor little buggers, cut up these fatty's after theyve died of being tubby, and package them in authentic Bernard Matthews packages labled "basics saussages" or something.
The fat people's lives are not entirely wasted, and the hungry little buggers get a nice saussage sarnie. And because we will have saved money by sending out this food instead of rice, we can even donate a bit of ketchup to add oral excitement to an otherwise bland "saussage" sandwhich.
Another thing I noticed on the television (I do watch alot of it) that some of these "starving children," are in fact... quite... well... fat. My housemate informed me this was actually a fatal disease, and as a result of this, it is going to be dangerous to poke fun at.
However, I aim to tip toe around this taboo and face the facts. I don't understand how if your starving you can end up so bloody bloated. And this isn't in bad taste it just genuinely fascinates me. I dug up a picture on the internet of this disease... see if your as bemused as I am!
Looks well fed to me in all honesty.
One final thing before I go, you hear these stories about how young children travel miles every day to get fresh drinking water. You cant help but think... well, why don't you move next to it.
Then you can actually grow something with all those seeds we keep sending you. Instead of flying over rice and bread, we should send over some common sense.
That's me done for the day.
