Subject: ENDANGERED LANGUAGE

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
medical studies.

1) The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than the
British, Americans or Canadians
2) Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than the
British, Americans or Canadians
3) Africans drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than
the British, Americans or Canadians
4) Italians drink large amounts of red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks
than the British, Americans or Canadians
5) Germans drink a lot of beer and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer
fewer heart attacks than the British, Americans or Canadians

Conclusion:  Eat and drink to your heart's content.  Speaking English is
apparently what is killing you.

Ed Alexander
