How can America be responsible for making British people fat AND starving Africans?

Question

Recently came across a british columnist who claims that the US is responsible for making her fellow country men fatter than Americans (current statistics) and starving Africans. How can us evil Americans be responsible for both. One thing she cited as proof of her assertions is Dunkin Donuts being scattered across britain. But what the dimwit failed to acknowledge is that Dunkin Donuts is owned by a british conglomerate now and has been for years. I would also like to point out it's the EU that is preventing American genetically modified food from entering needy parts of Africa, not the Americans. Anyone have any input in this latest bit of anti-American hysteria?

Answer 1

The only way that can be accurate is if America forced fast food upon Britain and the Britons were too mentally weak to fend off the advances.  I don't believe that Brits are that weak, quite frankly.

Answer 2

the point is we have a bad reputation and have had a history of doing bad things. nobody likes us and case closed.

Answer 3

Haven't your heard? Americans are responsible for everything wrong in the world today!

Answer 4

It's the same magical power we use to conjure the oceans to flood cities and to destroy our own buildings for an excuse to invade innocent countries. Hehehheheheheheh!

Answer 5

The british aren't fat. I live in Yorkshire, England and we certainly are not fat in Leeds or Sheffield. That british columnist is lying plus, there is no dunkin donuts across britain. The closet thing we have to that are local cafes. I'm not sure about the EU problem but i think every continent is putting their bit in to help african poverty. But i think us brits have enough common sense to realise that we are not starving africa, we are helping!!!!

Answer 6

America hardly, the United States maybe, but America not at all. What does Bolivia for instance have to do with any of this? nothing, and yet Bolivia is IN America. You mean the United States.  

Answer 7

I have no dog in this fight (Brits can eat 50 Dunkin Donuts a day, each, for all I care) but you need to look at economics.  

The short story: there is huge profit to be made selling fried sugar and flour to dumb people with money.

There is no profit selling anything to people, smart or dumb, who have no money.

Since the CEO's of major corporations primarily care about money, American/British/whoever CEO don't care if Brits get fat or Africans starve, as long as they make money.

Answer 8

It's how europeans deal with their own crimes against humanity, by blaming America. Unfortunately too many Americans by into it, like that dimwitted girl who said America has a history of doing "bad things." You mean like liberating europe from n***s and communists? Oh, and now terrorists? Simply horrible!!!

Answer 9

Hunger in Africa is caused by corrupt leaders who would rather spend money on palaces and military arms than feeding their own people.

Answer 10

Britain has too many Mcdonald's restaurants while Africa doesn't have enough
