It's the Big Gulp™
Having lived in France now for several years, I noticed that the
French are not obese while the Americans are practically walking
talking blobs of fat. Now, there must be a reason for that, right?
Well, I just found it. The food available in the supermarket is
almost the same, and the French buy sugary drinks as well. The
difference is that everywhere you look, French homes and
businesses have normal-sized cups and glasses, while every
U.S. home and food business always offers these mega jumbo
plastic recipients to get your Coca-Cola™ (or any other sugary
drink) by the gallon.
I will now fetch some data to back up my hypothesis. Be right
back.

Originally posted by SeitseSo your hypothesis is that the cup rather than the contents causes obesity. Mass distribution of dribble glasses, at government expense, should cure the problem then.

for people to gobble up massive amounts of crap foods and beverages. The
human mind is like that: if it is comfortable, it will be abused. So, in this case,
you have tiny mugs and glasses, so you serve your crappy, sugary drink and go
seat in front of the telly. When it is empty, you are faced with a choice: do I take
myself back to the kitchen and fill it up or do I just take it easy? Either way is a
win: those who go back, burn calories, but most will stay. I call this the new
and wonderful Seitse Lazy Diet Program 2000™
I can coach you into it for just $999.99

Here's the solution for hunger problem: rich world and UNESCO should send bigger cups and plates and fridges to endangered areas .
