^Republicans think they are well fed, and that if they only got off their lazy bums and found a job, they'd be rolling in money!

The Italians seem to eat a lot of fresh fruit and breads. Healthy foods.

Mexicans like their fruit and vegies but they ruin it with litre after litre of Coke!

The Brits eat a lot of shit, too.

Us Aussies love our meat and veg.

AMERICANS!!! What is that shit you call pizza? That ain't a damned pizza.

Canadians like eating polar bear? WTF??? You sick bastards!

Greenland isn't much better - polar bear, AND seal? What kind of sick fucks kill polar bears and seals to eat?

Feel sorry for the family from Chad - the food they have isn't enough to feed me for a week, let alone a family of six!

Why do you have to be so ignorant as to turn this into a political diatribe?
