The American Stomach in Recession

Wendy's 3conomics: "because the wisest place to invest these days is in your stomach," said in the same Comedy-Central-narrator-i'm-macho-but-i-still-stay-up-late-watching-
stand-up-comedy voice used for South Park commericals.

Three sandwiches! Each for under 1 American dollar! JUST 99 cents! The Crispy Chicken Sandwich! The Double Stack! The Jr. Bacon Cheesebuger!

And should you be so strapped by the economic crisis that you cannot even afford to eat Wendy's, or should you be living in Europe, you can settle for watching Wendy's food at their ad website.

The slogan on Wendy's home page: "At Wendy's®, we're unrivaled in our passion for giving people what they want — and uncompromising in giving people what they deserve."

My fellow Americans, our stomachs are gettin' what's coming to 'em.

I find those commercials... bizarre.

Also, I read recently that 34% of Americans are obese, while 32.7% are overweight. Sad.
