Strange but I got back from San Diego last week and out there the homeless people looked homeless and the rich, well looked rich.

Highly noticeable was both the homeless and the rich were in far superior physical shape compared to their peers back home in the Midwest.

My husband commented that the first thing he noticed when he moved from Dallas to NYC was how much thinner people were in NYC. And I have a friend in Florida who asked me if people in NYC dress better than people in the rest of the country. I said, not exactly, but NYCers do plan what they wear, as opposed to the tourists here, who are identifiable because they clearly just picked the most comfortable things they own, put them on and called it an outfit. So, while a New Yorker can look just as bad as any tourist, a person can tell that it's a bad that they thought about ahead of time.

Which is why the obese in this country should subsidize health care for the rest of us, not the other way around.

someone made a comment yesterday about why so many here are obese. i said 'yeah, cause everything is fried with gravy on it'.

we've walked into, and then right back out of restaurants around here many times. i will not eat where everything is breaded and fried. cooking is a regional thing, just like many other things... and i guess folks down here don't know that frying food adds 40% more calories to the food they're ruining....

oh, and biscuits served with EVERYTHING.
