to all you chubby guys out there

Grocery stores are generally divided into three sections - fresh produce, refrigerated foods and everything else.

The produce section is generally the most healthy for you. The refrigerated section is a mixture of healthy and unhealthy. The "everything else" isles are mostly high-calorie low-nutrient processed foods that smart people avoid.

While there are rare exceptions, you will seldom see an obesecycle in the fresh produce section of any store. Obesecycles are drawn to the high-sugar and wheat junk food isles.

But don't take my word for it, have a peek:

I wouldn't.

What? One video of 10 minutes, or even 30, in one supermarket? And who knows how many minutes you edited out to make the point you want to make.

Fruits are made of acid to rot your teeth and sugar to cause diabetes and obesity.

Vegetables are full of carcinogens and toxins. They're carriers of cyclospora, e coli, hepatitis A, listeria monocytogenes, noroviruses, salmonella, and shigella.

Not being cattle, humans can't get nutrition from raw vegetables, like the ones in the produce section. Those raw vegetables have enzymes racing to rot them before you can cook them.

Hot dogs don't really need to be refrigerated because they contain sodium nitrate. Unlike vegetables, they're nutritious raw.

Buy spinach in the produce section and you'll pay about $5 a pound, and its enzymes may rot it before you get it home. Buy it in the "everything else" section and you'll pay about 80 cents a pound. Even after you open the can, it will outlast fresh spinach because the enzymes have been dealt with. So have the pathogens.

Look for beans in the "everything else" section. If the Good Lord hadn't meant us to eat them, he wouldn't have invented the pressure cooker. Their glycemic index is very low, meaning they give you energy over a long time instead of spiking blood sugar. They're a good source of magnesium and potassium.

I don't think the video is meant to "prove" the premise to anyone. Rather it's a reminder to everyone of what they have all seen many, many times. There are lots of morbidly obese fatties out there. The video is just a synopsis.

Whenever I have the pleasure of seeing these beasties rolling around, I note what is in their baskets. They never buy much fruit, vegetables or juices. I'll leave what they do buy to your imagination, or just look at your last walmart bill.

These days, they're not raw. The ones they sell in stores have already been cooked.

What you said may apply to salami, however.

Uh-oh, the USDA says they need to be refrigerated. That explains why they're in the refrigerated section.

Early in the 20th Century, there was a lot of stomach cancer from preserved meats. So they regulated the amount of sodium nitrite and added Vitamin C.

Now they say most Americans stand a 5.8% chance of getting colorectal cancer, but if they eat a hot dog every day, it's 7%. It doesn't seem fair that the other 93% escape punishment.
