Some like it hot, some don’t. Some wear ear rings in their noses; some prefer to leave earrings on the sales rack. We live in America, where people have the right to choose whether they like something or not. That’s why I can’t seem to understand these fad diets. They depict that we should feel remorse if we even so much as entertain the idea of consuming a tasty morsel that happens to have more than ten grams of carbohydrates. I eat what I want to eat. However, freedom does come with some costs.

According to the American Sports Data, there are approximately four million people in this country that weigh over 300 lbs, and 400k weigh over 400 lbs. Although that is a startling and disturbing statistic, immigrants are hastily trying to get into this country because of the opportunities that abound for people here, overweight or not overweight. So the real question is do you prefer to be fat and happy or lean and starving. Also, there is choice C, which are free tickets to a Shakira concert with the chance to meet her backstage and take her out to an all you can eat carbohydrate dinner. I think I’ll opt for choice C.
