__________________ If I do something stupid blame the Lortab!
I did notice a lot more obese people in the south
they do have the best food though lol
I was in Detroit a few years ago for a conference and
could not believe how many morbidly obese people there
were. I was told that even in the summer there is often a
lot of rain and of course the winters are long and cold so
people are indoors a lot.
CA. is pretty fit especially in the cities. L.A is is a body image
city. SF has a lot of hills and the people walk a lot. There's a 'lot
of outdoor recreation, hiking and vanity out here
Only 9th place?? Well, boy howdy, we'll have to get to work on that!
We want to go down Tim-may, not up...........
