OR:
They truly are the master race.
Germans seem healthier on average than Americans, in spite of smoking, eating lots of sausage, and drinking lots of beer. Maybe it's higher quality food, or just that they get more exercise.

Well, they are pretty tall, but the Dutch are even taller. Maybe the Dutch are the master race!

They eat foods with less preservatives. That's why I get whole cow and pig from local farmers. Never meets up with shit in a factory for 2-3 weeks of shelf life unfrozen. Anytime we buy grocery store meat, it's getting cooked in 48 hours or frozen immediately.
I do think beer is good for you. Daily. None of us exist without beer. There was no clean water back in the day. I'd argue there still isn't. There's more chlorine in my villages water than what was in my pool. I was drinking pool water and god knows what else. I know what beer is and it makes me feel fuzzy. Win win. In moderation of course.
Gotta go to a butcher for meat. Not a chain grocery store. It will cost 2-3x's more, but you get better meat. Especially sausage.

My wife bought me a Sodastream water carbonator and I like it because I can make fizzy water for about 30 cents a liter instead of paying $1 a liter in the store. OTOH I was kind of annoyed at their proprietary bottles and connectors which really do nothing more than hold and dispense carbon dioxide, but cost $15 to refill.
I'm getting kind of a good deal, but they're getting a really good deal because I know it can't cost more than $1 for them to refill that thing.
So... instead of being annoyed, I looked up the stock (SODA) and they have no debt, a P/E of 25, and seem to be growing rapidly. I bought some of the stock today. Mistake? What am I missing?
