They used to laugh at us because we were fatter than everybody else.  
Now I've been hearing about how fat the fast of the developped world is 
getting too.  They blame us, but I don't buy it.  A *true* philosophy of 
equality amoung humanity recognizes that nobody is any worse, but nor is 
anybody any better, than anybody else.

Poverty and disease tends to breed things like religion and passions.  
Relative absences of those (our homeless can be fat) is us :-)

I wonder if it'll always be like that...
