HEB is full of good food. Lots of those around. Sprouts, Whole Foods, Trader Joes are around. Some decent pizza places, decent pubs/breweries, good food is around. Some of the best Tex Mex in the country. Not to mention Texas BBQ. Not sure where you are getting there’s no good food in SA.
Yes I love HEB!
Whole Foods not as much since Amazon bought it but still worthwhile and also founded in TX!
I know that lately when FR posters don’t like a situation they get nasty with Their responses
There is a particular turn toward emotional and nasty argumentation, which does not affect outcome and does not persuade. It is a leftist tactic
The fact is that there is a severe obesity disparity
Now someone cited that it was a Hispanic issue. Tortillas being the culprit. That is silly
There is a reason for the difference. Being nasty while avoiding the fact, then shoving data is not an intelligent researched answer
I visit New York often and I look around in Texas
Additionally, Here is some research data:
“Obesity Ranking (2025)
San Antonio Area
Ranked 13th most overweight/obese metro area in the U.S.
vs New York City Area
Ranked 88th out of 100 large metro areas (among the leanest)”
Whole Foods, HEB, sprouts are all excellent. Central market and Whole Foods are used by many. The produce is good. If I happen upon a good piece of fish it is not the same as getting good fish at the local fish market in Mantoloking or South Street
The fast food here is major. Popeyes, MCDs, whataburger, the donut stores, chick fil a, and the restaurants are ship it in on a freezer truck Chilis, Chuys,
People at work, fat nurses, walk around with sodas from whataburger that are so big they should come you a lifeguard. And they get consumed.
You can’t get a good salad out anywhere. A good piece of chicken without a lot of crap. There is no Italian food here. None.
There is very little walking around.
You can explain the difference by telling me that there’s something wrong with my view but that is not a good argument on any level that doesn’t include leftist emotional argjmentation
