Bloom County by Berkeley Breathed for May 11, 2023

Now that’s a diet I could follow.

Oh, Opus.

Fast forward several years to where you can barely afford food

Stomach reduction makes it imposable for you to overeat. Therefore, what you do eat will have to be healthy fuel for your body. (Since you are now a lifetime “patient”, your doctor will help you with this.) Of course you could just skip the surgery and hire someone to slap your hand every time you reach for a Twinkie and save some money.

Bariatric barbarism.

People always seem to be for the glory but not for the struggle.

Americans – “I have the right to eat whatever I want to”

Ah, the “Only Staples” Diet… ☺

This would be funny if it wasn’t absolutely spot on true. Ironically, the situation was far less serious when this was first printed but has grown to epidemic proportions since then. Berkeley accurately predicted the future of the American population.

Surgery won’t work without an attitude change. Without the attitude change your surgery might even kill you.

Opus, you dolt! That surgery could kill you, whereas eating less and exercising would only make you unAmerican!
