It is sad that Americans have so little time to prepare meals — most working people are zipping thru drive-thrus during lunch hour or grabbing something from the snack machine.

Snacks are hugely popular in Peru. It is the land of bocaditos. I don’t see that many fat kids in Peru, though, compared to the U.S.

Yeah, it’s a vicious circle. I’ve seen strip malls in the States where you have a Jenny Craig diet center next to a Dunkin Donuts. Kind of like having an AA meeting center next to a liquor store….

Unfortunately N. Americans resort to snacking on potato chips since they are working 3 jobs just to catch up with their past due mortgage payments and have no real time to cook a home meal.

I’ve noticed that snacks are increasing in popularity in Peru as well, which may explain the increase in Peruvian children becoming more obese each year.

Wouldn’t it be great to have a snack food business and a diet business? It just keeps the (vicious) circle in motion.

The newsletter only demonstrates how diabolical the junk food industry is.
