In Ohio and Pennsylvania, Ashley and I were confronted by a horrifying realization. Americans are fat. Of course it's a stereotype, but on the west coast, it's a stereotype that's easy to laugh off. Sure some Americans are fat, but many of us are skinny and beautiful, right? Right? In Pennsylvania, the words “obesity epidemic” take on new meaning. It's as widespread here as the common cold.
We stopped at a Subway to get lunch and plan out the last leg of our trip. I bought a ham sub.
“Would you like double meat?” the sandwich-maker asked.
“No.”
“Double cheese?”
“No.”
“Would you like to add bacon to your sandwich?”
“Uh, no.”
“Make it a combo and pay thirty-three more cents for a large soda?”
“No thank you.”
She nodded and finished my non-double-meat-double-cheese-added-bacon (yet still huge) sandwich. On the way into the bathroom I noticed a Subway advertisement. “Double your meat and get a free cookie!” And to think I could have had a free cookie.
Hmmm, its been hours since that meal. Bet you wish you had that cookie now.
