He`ll make a great point butthen ruin it by using cheap shots and ambush tactics that can make him comeacross as a bully and a bore which in turn takes a bite out of his credibility.This flaw appears in all of his films, too.Back to the point of the original post.......While I`ll agree that obesity in America is totally out of control, I find thatthe Europeans I work with are every bit as twisted in regards to nutrition. Iwork with dozens of Polish, Czech, Slovak students and all of them are TOOskinny. They have this warped idea that bone-skinny is beautiful to a degreethat even one kilo gained brings on a wave of paranoia that their friends willostracize them and their boyfriends/girlfriends will dump them.I watched one girl sit down to lunch with a bar of Philly Cream Cheese. I askedher, "That`s not going to be your entire lunch, is it?" She answered, "No, onlyhalf of it is lunch, the other half is for dinner." But at least she eatssomething. Most will work a whole 12 hour shift eating nothing.G
