I've solved America's obesity epidemic

[Ness]

I love cooking, but i hate the time it takes :x So I only eat pasta or cook some kind of fried rice, usually egg fried rice. If anything I'm cooking takes longer than 15 minutes to prepare or costs more than [poundsignhere]2.50[/poundsign] per portion, I simply can't be arsed. Unless I'm bored and have enough money for the ingredients of a shepherd's/cottage pie or something.

*edit* The forum doesn't support the pound sign? What tomfoolery is this?!

So basically what it comes down to Sub, is that you just want to eventually revoke the women's rights movement act all together over time. Somehow i doubt that will stick with todays society at all. Could even cause a civil war, men vs women, idk bout you, but id hate to be fighting them womens when they are having "that" time of the month =x

we'd just have to win before that time came.

₤ you mean that sign?

Also saying you love cooking, but cant be arsed if it takes longer than 15 minutes is a contradiction. If you love doing something, then self imposed time limits like those are not in the package.

True.
For instance, when i have some spare time i love to make some delicious pancakes.

(In my country pancakes are made like this)

Crepes, Tenzo, and that's how my mum makes em too. Awesome stuff. And, I like learning to cook, Grega, but I don't like spending 1 hour cooking something and 10 minutes eating it.

They're still pancakes...

Women should be allowed to go outside tbh, or the government should make it mandatory for each family to have some sort of seeing-eye type of dog, to deliver you lunch. In case your wife forgot to pack it.

You're looking at it with a glass is half empty perspective. You do realize that once every 28 days, you get a few days on which they might be a bit *****y, however on every other day, we get to legally raid that rebellious booty to our likings. \o/

There's two main types of pancakes, 3 if we bring east asian cuisine into it

We've somehow blamed something else on women.

I blame Food and Drug Administrations not being clear enough with stupid people.

I blame Jesus for not putting "Thou shalt not be fat" in the New Testament.

I had an epiphany this morning, guys.

The obesity epidemic is a huge problem in America. I myself cannot go anywhere without looking around and noticing 1/3rd of my fellow Americans being drastically overweight. I've long since wondered what the cause of this could be and this morning, I think I've found it.

If you look at the stats, women were introduced to the work force during WW2. After the war, a lot of women went back home to be stay at home mothers, but this was the a significant event in American history. It paved the way for women to start joining the work force in mass, which they did starting in the 1970's. Coincidentally, the obesity epidemic started in the 1950's and really began to take off during the 1970's.

I argue that women are the cause of the obesity epidemic. When women began joining the work force, less home cooked meals were prepared for the family. The home cooked meals were made suffered in quality and thus, suffered in how healthy they were for you. More and more Americans eat food out as more and more women join the work force.

The solution is pretty obvious to me. As Mark Twain probably said, there is nothing more important than one's health. Because of this, I deem it important and, indeed, logical to ban women from the work force. Of course I don't mean to ban them all overnight from the work force, that would not work well at all. But I do think it would be wise to ban 1/10th of women born after, say, 2012 from joining the work force. The one's banned would be chosen randomly. The amount of women banned from the work force will slowly increase every decade, so that in 50 years, women are largely staying at home (where they traditionally "belonged") so that they can prepare sandwiches and the like.

In addition to making Americans live longer and happier, I believe that this plan will help solve the economy crisis we find ourselves in. The unemployment rate will undoubtedly plummet as there will be less and less positions that are required to be filled. American's used to be able to support a family on one person's salary, we can do it again.

I blame the aggressive feminists. They just had to have their way!

It would just be another one of those things in the bible that we ignore, like how the bible requires women to be silent and submissive in church, or that short hair on women is an affront to god, and who wants to remember how we're supposed to stone to death a woman who is not a virgin on her wedding night... Just to name a few.

 

[Avenger]

Actually, the whole short hair / men's clothing thing was there for a reason. Back then, prostitutes dressed like men to reveal that they were, in fact, prostitutes. So the Bible was saying "Don't dress like a whore", which is fairly understandable.

But then I wouldn't have anything to look at.

 

[Avenger]

There's still porn. And, you know, the girls you bring home.

 

[sub]

aka prostitutes.

 

[Avenger]

They charge you? Man, you're getting ripped off.

 

[sub]

I was speaking for Brosiris. In any case, I don't think he lets them live long enough for that to happen.

 

[Avenger]

Well, he COULD sell them into trafficking. That way they'd kind of be reverse prostitutes, in the sense that they don't get paid - but get money taken from them.
