I guess we know all know what they should give up for lent or life. Burgers, pizza, Pepsi, and not exercising. I'm trying myself and it's proving to be harder than hell.

Now, if we all moved to Africa, we'd be the envy of all women. Being overweight in countries like Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda is a sign of wealth in otherwise poor countries. It is a strong statement about your wealth if you can afford to be overweight.

Africa. I thought that was an Asian trait...

No Jo, though it might apply to Asia as well, I am less well travelled in that part of the world I have to admit. It would make sense if food was scarce there and difficult to obtain for money or other reasons. As I said, if you are overweight, you are living proof of having the ressources to stretch beyond sustaining your existance, ie. you must be rich.

Obviously, as developement of African countries progresses, this will decrease, after all, being black doesn't mean you're stupid and it doesn't take much to realise that obesity is a health issue in the long run. Besides, I just love those tall, slender, dark-skinned Nubian beauties.
