What Happened to My Body?

The basic story:

In his native country, the man was very active and ate fresh, nutritious food every day. When he came to the United States he got a job as a taxi driver. He didn't get much exercise. He ate a lot of fast food. For breakfast, he ate at McDonalds (note golden arches behind taxi cab in the second frame). For lunch he ate pizza. For dinner he ate food he could microwave quickly. After dinner he ate snacks of ice cream and potato chips while watching TV. After one year, he had gained a lot of weight. He couldn't breathe while going up some stairs. His body had changed a lot in one year! He was not healthy!
