The Economy Runs on FAT I learned in a sobering presentation at work yesterday that three of the top five employers in the US are Walmart, Yum Foods (KFC, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, etc.) and Kroger. Think about that for a moment. The demands for what these companies sell is high enough to make them some of the biggest employers in the nation. Aside from the fact that the median annual incomes for workers at there companies are complete shit, their primary product (especially the last two) is CALORIES.  Our economy literally runs on feeding billions of dollars' worth of excess, unnecessary calories to fat fucks. Combined with the fact that 40% of Americans' food is wasted, and a whopping 50% of produce is thrown out, we are collectively speaking a dismal, disgusting nation of fat, wasteful, stupid fucks. It's alarming.  And if we decided to change overnight?? It could trigger an economic recession. Think about all the millions of fat fucking fucks out there and how much money they spend every day, year after year, to keep their disgusting appetites satiated and their fat guts hanging over their pants as they toddle and waddle around grazing and feeding all day, stuffing their fat fuck faces, their sweaty chins wobbling with glee. It has to be a huge percentage of consumer spending. I'd love to see some math done on it: how many excess calories Americans eat per day, the average cost per calorie, and how much revenue would be lost if Americans just stopped overfeeding their fat fuck faces.
