Actually "a typical African diet" is probably one of THE silliest things EVER written! Africa is a large continent and not everyone who lives there eats the same thing/s, nor even what the article talks about!

A "TYPICAL "RSA Afrikaner diet" is NOTHING at all even remotely like what's in the article and neither are "TRADITIONAL DIETS" throughout that continent!

Yes, a LOT of Americans ( the populace of other nations do to!) eat far too much fast food; however, not everyone even eats it sometimes, or ever!

Bingo. Define the diet. Africa includes Arabs in northern Africa which have nothing in common with the rest of the continent. Nonsense.

I agree we Americans tend to eat too much processed food, but I think the use of an example of 14 days straight of fast-food hamburgers and French Fries is a little extreme.
