[Marxism] Cuban sanctions linked to obesity in americans

[Greg McDonald]

If corn syrup was replaced by cuban sugar in soft drinks there would  
still be an obesity problem. Sugar is just as bad as corn syrup with  
regard to empty calories. The letter is typical of americans who want  
to blame everyone except themselves for their physical problems. If  
americans were not so ignorantly addictive to empty calories, parked  
their cars and walked or biked more, there would be no obesity  
problem. Americans would do well to give up anything white for  
consumption, sugar, baked goods, etc.  I get away with an occasional  
bagel and sugar in my coffee because I bike 150 miles a week. When it  
comes to their bodies (and much else), americans are about the most  
ignorant tribe on the planet.
