It’s hot in Southern California too. And we drive everywhere in air conditioned cars. But body image is everything here. I suspect that when your neighbors are all fat, there’s just less peer pressure to stay thin, so the percentage of fat people keeps going up.

..the South doesn't have many bus stops. Public transportation is paltry, and for most people the best way to get around is by car. .. States like Mississippi and Tennessee also have a surprising lack of sidewalks, discouraging even the most eager pedestrians.. and people who want to bike or jog find themselves uncomfortably close to traffic.There you go . The problem is not enough income tax distribution to fund infrastructure for the poor rural States! I knew there was a public revenue answer to this sticky problem!! (coinciding with the second stimulus bill--what a coincidence!)

On many drug related threads there are those who talk about the imposition drug abuse has on society. I see much more disregard for others and disruption of what should be efficient life by the Hefties. Compare them to drunks with permission to act out where ever they go. No one is a larger recipient of political correctness than are these waddling cruise ships. Get the heck out of everyone elses way!

Because they bread, fry and eat researchers who ask them why they’re so fat.

Did they adjust the results to account for differences between races when it come to being prone to obesity?

Let ‘em, same with the the FR south haters.
Spread the word!
The South sucks!
Stay where you are, you're better off!
I hope that works, got enough damn yankees down here already, and more coming all the time. They just ain't that smart, they tell everyone the South is a terrible place to live as they load up the Volvo all but trippin’ over themselves moving down here....

We invented TEX MEX that Northerners have recently discovered.

Nothing to be proud of Tex Mex is not good. Now Sweet Tea, fried chicken, pecan pies......yummy. : )

Because it’s too damned hot to go outside and exercise. Simple as that.

Why do northerners pansies elect other pansies to run their lives for them?
Can't wipe your behind without the help from some government authority figure?
Too many over-"educated”, not able to think for themselves, trust funders, pansies who can only get journalism jobs through family connections, always leaves one in a confused drug induced haze, probably like this author.
Not saying one should overeat but definitely saying pompous, hypocritical, journalist/self-appointed elitists should not be throwing stones in glass houses.

It is so simple and completely overlooked. It’s because people in the South aren’t neurotic, guilt ridden, rude, whiny. douche bags. And they subscribe to Fried not Boiled.

Northerners are thinner cause they have to haul their HUGE egos and attitudes with them everywhere!
New Yorkers especially.
I’ve never met anyone from NYC who didn’t have an attitude of “cultural superiority.”

All together now: "HOW FAT ARE WE?"
We're so fat, that we have our own area code.
We're so fat that we sweat Crisco.
We're so fat that when we fall over, people wait for aftershocks.
We're fat. Fat and Ugly. We're so ugly that when we were born the doctor slapped our mother. We're so ugly that....

More and more of them are cropping up left and right in my part of the Southern Virginia Tidewater Area 'neighborhood'.

Well, it's not politically correct, so you NEVER hear it anymore but "Dixie" explains it:
"There's buckwheat cakes and Indian batter,
makes you fat, or little fatter ...
look away, look away, look away Dixieland!"
