LOL. Isn't it fascinating that now (four decades after the anti-rock 'n roll hysteria) it's undoubt- edly done less damage to people's health than fast food. :-) But it is true that in the 60s, there was no real problem.

And, it's the supersize me thang that encourages consumers not only to eat food that is fattening, but to *overeat* that food. I see it here all the time -- the French kids are suckers for getting a bigger portion for what seems to them not a lot more money. When asked whether they want the regular meal or the supersaver meal, they almost always go for the latter -- a bigger portion of fries and a Coke so large I go into hypoglycemic shock just looking at it. And they're beginning to show it. Last summer the nude beaches were not nearly as pleasant an experience as they were a decade ago.

I'm not much of a fundamentalist, but when then burned those MacDonalds in Bangalore, it was a reminder of what is coming.

Europeans and germans seem mostly to demand, and buy, the lowest aspects of american culture. Not the high value elements. Why is that? Simply low standards and tastes? Speaking only of France, low *cost* and the availability of something that wasn't previously available -- fast food in a place where you can sit down to eat it. Most other French fast-food outlets (crepes, felafels, etc.) were in the past of the order-it-from-a-counter-and-take-it-away variety, something that really didn't appeal to the French mentality. And it's taking its toll on the French, too. The main clientele of American fast-food chains are the youth, and they are starting to show alarming signs of obesity. If you want a shock, walk in Paris and notice the general slimness of the population, and then walk into a KFC or Burger King franchise franchise and notice all the fatties.
