Why are Canadian women so frakking pretty?
So, I recently moved from America, to Canada, and holy balls, the women up here look fantastimazing. My list of five most attractive women ever has been dominated by Canadians. Two of my friends who happen to be Canadian are probably the two most beautiful women I’ve ever seen, this lady who goes to my school is so frakking beautiful, as well as that lady at the bank, she is gorgeous. And I’ve been wondering, why are Canadian women so god damned pretty? And I think I’ve figured it out.
Corn.
Or, a lack thereof. You see, about forty years ago, America decided food needed to be cheaper, and more plentiful, so what they did was industrialize and subsidize corn. Why? Because you can put corn in anything, and they put it in everything. Americans are made of corn, because corn is in everything. Everything contains corn. Beef, poultry and pork contain corn, because those animals were raised on corn. Every soft drink is loaded with high fructose corn syrup, things are fried in oil that contains corn. It’s everywhere, and there’s lot of it to go around, so there’s lots of food to go around, and people are consuming all of it.
So, I think a less homogenized diet is why Canadian women are so beautiful. They get what they need in their diet, I’m sure America’s corn lust has trickled up into Canada, but there’s no way it’s as bad as it is in America. And there’s really nothing Americans can do about it. Wages suck in America, and if you want to eat, you have to buy what’s cheap, and if you’re buying what’s cheap, you’re going to be eating a lot of corn products and byproducts, and you’re not going to be getting all the proteins you need, you’re not going to be getting the vitamin A, or the iron you need. It sucks, America frakked up big time when they decided to industrialize and subsidize corn. I don’t think they understood what was happening when they did, and I think it’s too late to undo it. The only thing that can change this is the people. The people of America need to say ‘Fuck you and your shitty foods, I’m going to stop buying this processed shit, and start eating things that haven’t been processed to hell and back’, but I don’t think that’s ever going to happen. A lot of people need to eat, and they can only afford to eat what, well, what they can afford, and a lot of what a lot of people can afford is shit that’s been processed to hell and back, so it’s reciprocal, and I don’t think there’s any chance for change in sight, and the other people aren’t informed, and no one’s going to inform the. The government is going to tell them they’re eating poorly, they’re the ones who industrialized corn, they don’t want people to stop eating it. Their friends aren’t going to tell them, either, because no one’s telling them. It’s a reciprocal problem that not enough people are trying to fix.
Basically, America’s screwed. The nations health is a problem, and people either can’t do, or aren’t doing anything about it.
I have no idea where this tangent came from, and I don’t know where the hyperbole starts or ends, but there it is.
You’ve read Michael Pollan’s books? He’s the <3. I've only read Botany of Desire, but his later works involve some food advocacy.
I'd think another difference between our approaches to food is that Americans tend to think poor folks should fix their own damn problems, even when in some areas there literally is nothing to eat but processed crap. It stands to reason that a land that has single-payer government healthcare would also be making an active effort to help people eat some damn veggies.
I don't think you should blame all of the differences on diet, though. Perhaps the climate is nice to skin, or perhaps the genetics are different due to different historical immigration patterns. Or, perhaps you're doing the outbreeding behaviour thing of finding "different" attractive, and now you're surrounded by body and face types you're not used to seeing.
I haven’t read anything by Micheal Pollan, but I’ll look into it, it sounds interesting.
And a lot of this was hyperbole, I’m aware that the industrialization and subsidization of corn has had an adverse affect on America’s diet, but I’m also aware that there are a lot of other circumstances which may be leading to my perception of Canadian lady folks being more attractive than American lady folks.
Or maybe Kat is just really frakking beautiful.
