ENGLISH SPEAKING PEOPLE
'The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.
The French eat a lot of fat and also have fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.
The Japanese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.
The Italians drink excessive amounts of red wine and also suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.
Conclusion: Eat and drink what you like. What kills you is speaking English.'
