Because the last time the Yankees came through, the skinny ones starved.

Lived in GA for 24 yrs and gained weight. The cooking is not as pure—has lots of additions like eggs, mayo, sour cream, butter, lard, sauces. Good food—tasty. Hard to go back to baked item, rice and fresh veggies-—healthier though. Lost the weight. Paula Deen exemplifies this southern cooking. Her new hubby is on Jenny Craig!

Mississippi is not only the fattest state in the nation but also the poorest, with 21% of its residents living below the poverty line according to the U.S. Census Bureau.What a country ... instead of poverty causing starvation, it causes obesity

For me, it’s one too many Texas-sized Chicken Fried Steaks smothered with white gravy

The South will rise again! ....after they lose 200 pounds. Are you saying it's hard to carry out a revolt when your are wheezing from walking up the stairs? :-)
Gimme a good home cooked southern meal, any day of the week. We'll just soldier through the high cholesterol and heart palpitations when the time comes!

The South has the best food, and the best cooks.
Now I think I’ll have that second slice of peach pie.

Sounds like Claire at “Time” is a racist. Look at the demographics. It’s obvious.

Why are Northerers so rude? Why are they so rude and arrogant? I find generally friendlier people in the South and Western/Midwestern regions than I have found in the Northeast. Just my personal experience.

...but then again, so has the rest of the country. Wisconsin loves cheese, New Yorkers scarf pizza, and New Englanders have been known to enjoy a crab cake or two.Uhhhhh...no. Maryland, not New England, is known for crab cakes. New England is known for clam chowder and steamed lobsters. Stupid TIME...go put another picture of Obummer on your cover and just leave the rest of your pages blank.

Southern food is the best. There is nothing like home grown tomatoes, boiled okra, turnip greens, black eyed peas and cornbread. We love our fried chicken, catfish and chicken fried steak. We invented TEX MEX that Northerners have recently discovered.
What do Northerners eat? Beats me. If y’all come down here I will treat you to a TEXAS green bean (jalepeno pepper).

I’d like to see the demographic breakdown of the fatties in the south.
