Re Fat. In the USA they say "Poor people are fat because they can't afford good food". In that case, why are poor people around the world consistently thin? One would think the poor people outside the USA would realize that they could save money/get more food by buying the same cheap stuff that American poor people buy.

My theory is that "poor" is not the right description of their problem. Ignorant is the more correct word. While ignorant, it's difficult to get things right. I find it impossible though luck sometimes works in one's favour.

- as long as taiwan and mainland are separate, hong kong is pedestal-secure, like a rock
