I'm pretty sure this whole obesity thing is fake news. When I look around in Boulder I just don't see it.
What else do you not see?

Also, lots of sugar. Portions + sugar.
I'm from New England and spent a few years in Georgia for work. Every morning I'd bring in my travel mug of black coffee and a large contingent of my coworkers would bring in super-sized Big Gulps full of soda from 7-11.
Then there's the sweet tea...

I don't know if it's just a regional thing but holy shit when you go out to dinner you get a massive, massive meal. I know it's not like that in the state of New York.
Haven't you been following the news? Obesity has nothing to do with what or how much you eat.
I'm beginning to think that we are much more fucked than I thought.

Not even factually correct, according to your link.
It's amazing the depths to which people will go to politicize things.
Still waiting for your explanation of the fat demographic?
It's coz all the red-necks in the south are dumb, poor, bible-bashing Republicans who do no exercise, drive around in their pick-up trucks with their gun racks, chomping their super-sized BicMac meals. Meanwhile in the north east and out west the better educated, richer people, more of whom vote Democrat, can afford a kale salad from Whole Foods and actually get off their asses and occasionally do some exercise.
or something like that... ;)
I might agree 100% but it's not Big Macs. It's Hardee's.

Healthy food is cheaper than shitty food.
Trader Joe's sells bananas for 19 cents.

That's not really a woman, but is a guy. Look at her fingers.
I think they're in the picture somewhere, but I can't focus on them long enough to tell exactly where they are. :)

I dunno Belp. The biggest sandwich I've ever bought was a pastrami sandwich at Carnegie Deli in NYC.

I think it's really just that food, in general, is so cheap that almost no one in the U.S. is so poor that they can't buy enough to get fat.

And there are lots of poor, ill-educated people in the South which is also a recipe for obesity.
I wonder if we can get a wall built?

There is no correlation between voting tendencies and eating/exercise habits. But, I there is a strong correlation between wealth and health. The soda post from a few days ago is a teriffic example
