Well, You Gotta' Die From Something

Someone sends me this propaganda about once a week.

For those of you who watch what you eat, here's the final word on nutrition and health. It's a relief to know after all those conflicting nutritional studies. Wink, wink.

1. The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
Yes, but they eat a constellation of fresh vegetables and little meat.
2. The Mexicans eat a lot of lard and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
Yes, they also eat lots of fresh vegetables and fruit.
3. The Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
They too, eat copious amounts of vegetables and little meat.
4. The Italians drink a lot of red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
They also follow the Mediterannean diet which has been associated with good health.
5. The Germans drink a lot of beers and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
Yes, but they do more walking than lazy Americans in their gas sucking SUV's

THE WARPED CONCLUSION: Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently what kills you! Very funny, I say sarcastically.

Will someone please stop that e-mail from making it's rounds. That's what we call disinformation intended to confuse the public. Our governments most effective tool. STOP IT. We are not idiots.
