You protest, and reluctantly, the cream cheese is withdrawn. A cold glass of beer promises both to slake your thirst and attract admirers. Never mind that it would actually make you thirstier and contribute to the already unattractive gut hanging over your jeans. Never mind that it's 10 at night, you've already eaten dinner, and you don't need to fuel up just to go to sleep. The United States is experiencing an epidemic of obesity.
Obesity is the result of habitually consuming more calories than one burns.
It is a form of overconsumption. Capitalism is making you fat.

You can almost always afford a slice, or a burger, or a beer. Learning a new sport or taking lessons to improve.
