Answer 2

There's nothing more sexy than some dirty girl who hasn't washed her body or hair in two months, and doesn't shave her armpits telling me about peace and love. Hmmm...makes me wanna... An absolute disregard for hygeine and other people's sensibilities always turns me on.

On the other hand, fat *** people with little regard for their health or the health of the eyes of those around them are flatly disgusting. I think your attempt at a correlation of more obesity and right-wing talk radio is at least just a little out of whack. And who said it is no longer ok to talk of peace and love? I would like to see where that is written, and if you cannot show me, then maybe its your fault for not talking about enough. Ever think of not blaming someone else and just doing something about it?

Answer 3

Is that like the correlation between a decrease in the number of pirates in the world and the subsequent rise in global temperatures?

Answer 4

I don't think so - the pendulum has swung back and forth from conservative to liberal to conservative and back, while obesity has risen steadily the whole time.

Shifting of population from rural to urban and suburban areas is probably a more significant factor. So is the production, processing and distribution of food in the USA.

Answer 7

Hate takes alot out of a person and McDonald's fills that hole.
