Fat European Tourists in New York

If you go around Mid-town and 34th street you will see a lot of fat European tourists. Now that the euro is strong and the dollar is weak, they are taking advantage of the exchange rate. They are doing a lot of shopping. You can see them carrying around big shopping bags filled with clothes and electronics. They go to Mcdonald's and stuff their faces with big macs and wash it down with milk shakes. Meanwhile, Americans are getting thinner and can't buy anything with the weak dollar. You can see the hunger in their eyes.

ha ha, you´ll have trouble finding fat European tourists unless you go to the Spanish coast resorts where you will find a fast food eating frenzy from British tourists, but the Bits have the same problem with the Euro at the moment so we´re in the same boat.

It´s a shame that today it costs a LOT more to eat healthy than to eat badly so the day will be a long time coming when the obesity rate will start declining, maybe the same amount of time it´ll take for the dollar to rise again..i hope this will be a very long time for my own benefit.

Life is like a ten-speed bicycle. Most of us have gears we never use.
