Did someone eat my America?

If you’re an angler, you know that catfish eat almost anything. This fish seems like it has eaten everything. But I don’t think it has eaten my America. The problem with eating is reserved for our very own citizens who have turned eating into an art form. A very Pollockian art form complete with copious amounts of material (food) splattered all over a very large canvas (dinner plate). This problem effects 30% of Americans and the number continues to swell every year. Many scientists argue that genetics are to blame. We need to allocate more money to research this problem because it is draining my America’s coffers. Whatever the cause may be, it needs to be addressed before we have our cake because undoubtedly we will eat it too.
