Food pyramid lunch box should help American fatties

Driving on the other side of the road has no bearing on the metric vs. imperial debate. Metric is a far superior system and is far easier to learn. Imperial is outdated.

And so is driving on the left side of the road.

It's stupid and foolish and should be completely done away with.

You start driving like the rest of the world, and I'll start using meters.

Both have no meaning. It's all arbitrary designations, and therefore neither system is better than the other.

Celsius vs. Fahrenheit, Mile vs. Kilometer... and on and on and on.

If you want to be confused by it come to Britain. we use miles, pints, litres, metres, feet, inches, pounds, kilograms, gallons and centimetres.

But we do drive on the right side of the road, which is the left.

As I've tried to say, what side of the road you drive on has no bearing on which system of measurement you use.

Yeah, an arbitrary system which the entire world has to know, just because America refuses to bow to the inevitable.

As for Fahrenheit, it's a stupid system. When Fahrenheit developed it, 0 was the lowest temperature he could create in his lab, and 100 was supposed to be the temperature of the human body. Both wrong, as I'm sure you know. Why continue using it?

That is actually a great little creation. Though I'm just imagining some fat person putting chocolate in the vegetable area and vegetables in the meat area. Stupid fat piece...
