Burger (super size)now bigger than big mac. Ultra large soft drink cups...
Candy machines in every place
USA coca-cola (coke) it's worse than on Brazil, in terms of weight gain, cause it use cornsyrup and on Brazil it use sucrose from sugar caine plant.

It's not just the size that is the problem, it's the frequency. When I go out to eat, I want large portion sizes, but then again, I rarely go out to eat. It's not a problem to eat an enormous burger if you do it infrequently.
Cornsyrup is no worse than sugar derived from sugarcane. They are both simple carbs.

Recidivism is around 70%, so most people in prison have been there before. It's the young men like me who are there for the first time, with the majority of the older men having been incarcerated previously.
I know some very good people who do very bad things when they pick up their old drug habits and associate with their old "friends".
