Corpus Christi isn’t on the list?
Or did I miss it?
Apparently not but I can’t imagine how. Maybe the influx of flight trainees at the NAS and trim athletes at A&M outweighed the usual suspects this time around.
When the roach coach is considered a star attraction at every festival downtown you know there is a problem.
Nevertheless I still have a fondness for my adopted home town.
Portland and Seattle last place. Drizzle and liberalism keeps you thin?
Actually true.
Ever watch the survival shows? The guys with muscles, skills and fat are always the winners. Of course, by the time they leave they are not fat any more but they start out ahead of the game.
Yes, it’s twoo. So the solution is to sednd as many of these ambulatory challenged to the jungle where they’ll either eat bugs, lizards and snake meat or they’ll die.
I noticed in the Tom Hanks film where he was marooned on a desert island that he started off fat and ended up lean.
The lean guys end up dead because their body has high food demands and minimal resources to draw on.
The fat guys have fat to live off of and so they have time to find shelter, start a fire and locate food. Because their body is more efficient at burning food they get more mileage out of any edibles they find.
We have this bizarre situation that has never happened before in history where the poorest are the most likely to be obese. Super cheap fattening foods, less physical labor, more non-physical entertainment options, public social assistance all contribute. It’s one of the reasons I doubt that there can ever be any sort of sustained civil unrest in the near future. The poor might not be healthy, but they are sure well fed. Hard to picture them going through the hardship sustained civil rests would bring.
Supposedly the average woman now weighs 166lbs+, roughly what the average man weighed in 1960. Pretty amazing stuff if true.

Kids are fat since it is no longer safe for them to play outside. When I was a kid, many many moons ago, we’d roam for miles around. Just be home by dark if you can. Even when I lived in the city we’d grab our weapons and walk across town to the countryside to hunt. Try that now!
Hi T! I don’t have a city up here but any extra weight added over the winter is worked off fast outside during spring projects....that and running from the damn Bears that are done snoozing!!
Almost all the fat cities are in warm areas. Maybe warm weather makes people lazy.
