I've been really shocked at how much mainstream information is surfacing on those subjects - it used to be that when there was a voice that dissented with the most common message, that the voice was squashed. Seems as though that is changing. Thanks for your comments! @Jenn: Hi Jenn! I definitely agree. I know in my case when I worked long, long hours to make the never ending deadlines, I often found that by 2AM I was really moving much slower, and after years of doing so I was completely burned out. @TM: Thanks!

It's amazing, too, how less stressed many Europeans are compared to Americans. They work less, vacation more and don't spend as much time rushing around, it seems. This is such a good article!

Chemicals, additives, irradiated food, microwave cooking, over-the-counter and prescription drugs, adulterated water, and hundreds of other things contribute to making Americans (and the other countries we "help") continue to burgeon. I had suspected that it wasn't all that bad for you to eat things as nature provides them, but not to listen to the FDA! Kudos!

Considering I am an overweight American myself, it was not intended as an insult. I am sure we saw lots of overweight people from other countries. I don't know about others, but for me I find that when I'm traveling in foreign countries my brain tunes into others speaking English. And like it or not, when I heard American English in Paris, more often than not it was from folks who looked not unlike myself. Just an observation, not a stereotype. @Mike: My apologies if that is what you took away from the article. Considering I am an overweight American myself, it was not intended as an insult.

Seem like you think we are all fat, mindless, lazy people who can't control our indulgences. This slant as it relates Americans to Europeans is getting very tired.
