OK... So not all Americans are fat, but it's a known fact that the big fight of the American nation is against the disease of overweight.
So let me tell you something - Instead of spending billions of dollars on diets and health insurance policies, the only thing the Government here should do is simply to start regulate the price of vegetables.
I was shocked to see the prices of things here.
For my Israeli friends, here are some numbers:
How much do you think 6 tomatoes costs on average here? 20+ NIS!
How much a single pepper. A regular one. Not organic or something? A whooping 6 NIS. Yes. For one. Not for 1 kilo.
With these prices, no wonder everyone eats junk food. In the price of two tomatoes and a cucumber, you can get a full meal at McDonalds...
