“The 12 Steps to Obesity”
Paul Gasparo is insane. But on the flip side of that coin, he makes a good point. Americans are famous for eating their way into the coffin. I’m not sure if this is exactly what the author was trying to get across in the short essay 'The 12 Labors', but it seems like a valid point. Buffets are a disgusting example of the American way of getting what you pay for.
There are many steps to becoming obese; one of them is the growing love of fast food. Now, I know buffets aren’t necessarily considered fast food, but what difference is there between eating five or so helpings of fried chicken and mashed potatoes, and having a greasy burger and what McDonalds is allowed to call a large french-fry? Well the difference is that you get more disgusting unlimited food for a cheaper price! Which is a valid point the American doctors must love.
The part of this ritual that I love is mentioned in The 12 Labors as number twelve:
“12) Now force down that fortune cookie that’s been sprung on you at your final moment…” Yes America, after your multiple trips through the line and your three or so trips to the dessert section of this ‘restaurant’, here’s a cookie, have another. You can’t imagine my disgust while watching people force themselves to eat this (if you don’t your fortune doesn’t come true!).
I believe this whole buffet style eating is another conspiracy by the American government (shortly following 911 and Kennedy). I’m sure that somewhere in this great country there is a man in a suit figuring facts on how much food the average person can force down there throats at a specific sitting. Figuring how much he can con off the fast food population and production. Once that figure is made, he’ll explain it to fascists such as our beloved president, Bush and ex vice runner, Palin (they couldn’t figure something like that on their own you know). The end result will be an upraising on how grease does not clog your arteries, that it is in fact good for you. That fast food should be a daily dietary staple. The end result of this testing will be the overall extinction of the American people as we know it.
