OK, we discussing here a FAT TAX, which means that even Buddha would
be taxed. Lean Buddha is good because he doesn't eat at the Chinese

it: CUTTING DOWN THE CALORIES & BURNING THE CALORIES (hunting-
gathering, ie. riding bike, whatever).

"Soylent Green."

Kidding. Send them to fight in Afghanistan. Boot camp and the rigors
