Can't America Stop Being Thin And Rich?

Look at this -- two books I noticed on Amazon's Bestseller Lists -- one about being rich and one about being thin.

Maybe they're the greatest books in the whole wide world, but sometimes I wonder if America would simply crumble if we all stopped obsessing about getting little thinner and a little richer every day. Isn't there anything else that matters? Is this the most boring country in the world?
