Most Americans find fruits and vegetables anathema; it's sickening how hedonism has conquered the mindset of the common citizen. I eat a diet rich in fruits and vegetables and many of my friends deem this to be "strange." I see this overall as indicative of a health epidemic in the USA which is deeply ingrained in the youth, and is the main cause for diabetes, cancer and a whole bunch of other illnesses and diseases. On top of that, the western lifestyle of working long hours, sitting down all day and having the luxury of quick transportation compounds the problem of an unhealthy diet hundredfold. Just sick...and frightening is what I call this situation.
