    Nice irony. Responding to the fake crisis of global warming by pushing biofuels results in the real crisis of millions starving because so much crop production is switching from food to ethanol.
    But who cares about them, as long as we can feel good about ourselves as we pump ethanol into our hybrids.

    Matt,

    Absolutely inventive cartoon linking so many different issues. I had a great laugh. Needed that. I read about the obesity of Americans in the papers all the time but the severity didn't reach me until I took several trips outside the US. It's a weird experience to look around in another developed nation and realize that no one is overweight, not to mention morbidly obese. The tourists who visit America must be in shock. Keep up the great work. You have an amazing mind, not to mention hand. :)

    Thanks all!

    Notsofrosty, you'll be amused to hear I received a bunch of complaints via email about this cartoon (one which cleverly told me to "go back to England.") Apart from the fact I haven't lived in England for 25 years, I have been reading that they too have adopted a US style obesity problem, complete with soaring diabetes rates. If I lived there, I'd have done the same cartoon…

    BTW – Have you seen gas prices there? $11 a gallon in London!!
