So, my mom wanted to go to Epcot today...though, I am, officially, boycotting Disney and all affiliates...I decided I had to appease her...afterall, it was Mother's Day today...and mothers are supposed to get what they want on this one day...
So, I went...into the epitome of all of the commercial American evil...that this company represents...$174 for my father to purchase 3 tickets into the park...plus, parking...and food (though, I was smart this time and packed a sandwich knowing that Disney would have little to offer strict vegetarians)...
The take-home message...besides evil American consumerism...was that the statistics that state that nearly 60% of all americans are severaly overweight to morbidly obese...appear to be true...the figure may actually have been higher at this particular Disney theme park today...not only that, but I cringed at the food that was being shoved down the throats of their morbidly obese children...surely, this is some form of child abuse...what is the world coming to????
