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

Yawn. No one was nasty with you at all and anyone besides you wouldn’t take it that way. I simply told you that there is plenty of good food in SA and you haven’t refuted my statements at all.

My statement about tortillas was simply stating a fact. Hispanics in SA and whites both are fat because they eat cheap food. Did I really have to spell it out for you?

Quit being such an emotional basket case and move on. You said there was no good food in SA and I proved you wrong. No need to go leftist and say I was nasty.

Since you appear to be ignorant of what is truly available in SA, I suggest you go to Groomers Seafood in SA and buy flown in fish that is excellent.

BTW, I put out facts about your ignorant comment of there not being good food in SA and you got you NY self butt hurt. That’s a you problem.

Typical NY asshole.
