No, WVA isn't the poorest state. It's close, but not like MS, MO, etc.
And the buffets we saw had a good selection of healthy food, as well as fatty stuff. The buffet costs the same whether you eat a ton of fatty stuff, or a reasonable amount of healthy food.
If people are going to go out for a buffet dinner, what is their reason for eating a huge amount of food? More for their money, even though it is bad for them in the end?
(I love buffets, because I am a grazer. I like having just a bit of a lot of things. But I know that most buffet goers are there for quantity. And they get fat.)
I'm a grazer too, that's why I don't like buffet places.
it's just not worth the money for the amount of food I can eat, not to mention the quality of steam table food.
I love my "leftover boxes" of entrees of moo-shi pork or spicy da-chin chicken from a good Chinese restaurant. I've got a snack for later and a couple of lunches.
I'm 45, and despite the eventual sag brought on by gravity (d'oh) I can still fit into a size 4 or 6. Nightly walks help too, post dinner. Our dogs wouldn't have it any other way, and believe me, that's not easy in Minnesota when it's below zero. Routine is key.
