Stop shopping in Boca.

Yes. I absolutely despise most Gen Y tards, with the exception of myself, of course.

I wouldn't necessarily call it laziness. Imo the problem is entitlement.

that is a depressing read.
It made me think though, if you manage to stay slim how much of an advantage is that in the jobmarket?

enough of an advantage to allow you go earn enough to pay the taxes to support people too fat to wipe their own ass?

I was an Englishman in New York for sometime - working at an investment bank and compared to most - I found the Americans some of the hardest working people I have ever met...

Another English transplant here... realized a big part of the reason Americans like convenience and laziness so much is because they work ridiculous hours and get next to no holiday time. Last thing you want to do after a week of 12 hour workdays is cook a decent meal or go to the gym.
