Diet Shake’s ‘R Us
It seems like Americans are obsessed with the weight loss shake. Every grocery store I go into in L.A. has a whole wall of these things. Slim Fast, Jenny Craig, Carbolite, the Atkins shake, Weight Watcher. I went to a juice bar the other day to get some carrot/apple/celery juice and you could blend a “weight loss” formula into your juice. These shakes aren’t so present in Canada. People just eat right.
Mind you I’m obsessing over the actual shake itself. I believe Canadians can be just as fat as Americans. Maybe the people in L.A. are just a bit more undernourished, or over plasticized, or simply anorexic, but I’d argue as a whole, L.A. at least looks thinner than Canada. Huh, maybe those weight loss shakes are working.
