Since moving to Germany, Krista and I have both lost some weight (and hope more loss will come). But one of our friends sent us this:

For those of you who watch what you eat, here’s the final word
on nutrition and health. It’s a relief to know the truth after all those
conflicting nutritional studies.

1. The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart
attacks than Americans.

2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks
than Americans.

3. The Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart
attacks than Americans.

4. The Italians drink a lot of red wine and suffer fewer heart
attacks than Americans.

5. The Germans drink a lot of beers and eat lots of sausages and
fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

CONCLUSION

Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently what kills you !

Well, I guess I am really glad that we are in German classes right now. So I say to you - “Prost!!! Now pass me a brotwurst.”
