Looking at American programmes on TV what seems to come across is that the poor Americans are fat, and the rich Americans are thin. Anytime you see a really fat American, you can guarantee he or she will be having a hard time getting by.

Of course this is probably a digression, since I imagine it costs more to keep the rich ones thin than it does to keep the poor ones fat.

And as I always do, when this kind of discussion crops up, I invite peple to visit thehungersite, and stick it on their email signatures and browsers. (And that is an American site.)
