[quote=Anonymous]Just got back from London and this is what struck me. At Heathrow, I (and everyone else) walked quite a distance through the terminal. I'd estimate I walked for a good 15-20 minutes to get to my gate. Once I got to the airport in Newark, that same walk was replaced by a train to the next terminal. Americans are overweight because they consume too many calories and then don't burn them off. I had a few dinners at very expensive restaurants while in London (I wasn't paying so why not?). I had 4 courses and wasn't stuffed when I was finished. I haven't eaten out at a restaurant in the U.S. feeling not completely stuffed in so many years I can't remember how long it's been. The portions are completely ridiculous but after a while, you don't notice it anymore. I'm so used to feeling stuffed and then putting the rest into a take home container.[/quote]
