We eat too much, drink too much and are quite materialistic.
On the plus side we have a great tradition of philosophy which promotes egalitarian and philanthropic values. The problem is what we practice is a lot different from what we preach.

and on the contrary, i think the english have better control of their diet than say the americans or maybe than filipinos?, just my opinion.
and i do agree that the peple here are more liberated when it comes to philosophy and religion in general. maybe because it very multicultural, or a significantly older civilisation that tolerated immigration early on... people are seemingly more inclined on the humanitarian good side of people rather than the religious implications of being 'good'. thats just my view on things, coming from a morally uptight christian dominated country myself.
