<DIV><TT>Oh, don't blame the poor Brits. I'm sorry if I gave you the wrong
impression. I kept ranting about the grease in American food all day, but I'm
not a Brit. I'm Israeli. And you're absolutely right. British food is every bit
as bad as the American :)</TT></DIV>

<DIV><TT>Been there a few months ago. That's what triggered the whole rant. For
some reason, you (they) think that the options are either grease with something
fatty in it, or sawdust in different watery levels. There are so many healthy
*tasty* foods. For goodness sake, you can't even chop a proper salad.</TT></DIV>

<DIV><TT>I tried my luck in one of Santa Clara's diners. Refusing the
eggs-benedict and the
three-eggs-in-grease-with-a-huge-cake-and-fried-potatoes-that-are-nothing-like-chips,
I ordered the "health dish".</TT></DIV>
<DIV><TT></TT></DIV>
<DIV><TT>I got a pancake that was done with sawdust instead of flour, and on top
of it lay a huge chunk of melting butter. The side dish of fruit was combined
mainly of grapes. Grapes! there is no fruit less nutritious with more calories
than grapes. Except maybe chocolate :). Honestly! You have no idea what's good
for you.</TT></DIV>
