Sweet Tea is the best thing in the world.
And I was born in Ohio.
I agree, however people aren’t restricted in what they can purchase with their food assistance programs. In fact, the number of healthy options has been improving over the years.
People choose to purchase those fattier foods...they’re not being foisted on them.
visual observations would at least have some arguable scientific validity. I can't say for this particular study, but they usually survey the number of fast food restaurants per capita, the number of parks and recreational opportunities (notice that the listing contains a lot of anecdotes about the "programs" that are suppposed to solve the problems). In short, nothing about the actual people, just the environment of the city, and they extrapolate from that. As I said, I don't know about this survey though.
Well, we don’t have “real” East African style poverty here.
Take that out of the equation, and cheap food is not as good for you as more expensive food and that explains it.
That’s just wrong! Sweet tea is an abomination, a heresy, a travesty; it is the destruction of a perfect drink. Tea is inexpensive, refreshing and healthy . . . until you add sugar.
FWIW, I find time to go to the gym by getting up at 5:30 to get there. That way I don’t have to worry about babysitters or anything else. Plus, traffic is much lighter at that time of the day.
Oooh, let me play:
Tea is bitter, tasteless, and undrinkable, until you add sugar.
Gotta love the whiny liberal explanation under each city.
Surely you jest, wife still uses cast iron skillets. She bakes on occasion, things like pies. :)
I take it you don’t have a 1 year old who has trouble sleeping through the night.
I don't remember ones with mountains and skyline, but I grew up in Houston. I remember being in the movie theatre watching "Uncommon Valor", and they were flying in a helicopter in this rugged terrain and the caption read "somewhere North of Galveston, TX". The whole theatre laughed out loud.
There is always portion control. If you’re getting fat, you just have to eat less of whatever it is you are eating. I suck at portion control, though, which is why I work out as much as 3 times a day.
I note that most cities are said to be obese because of poverty. Strange. Where were all of the fat people during the depression?
When I visited my father in Florida I noticed that it was usually too hot to even leave the house.
Unless people exercised before 11AM, they were done for the day.
Fool! Apostate!
Lots of filthy words , but George is right on and funny as heck .

How can it be bitter AND tasteless?
STOP FRYING!!

Of course. I’m the same. Even if I eat healthy I eat 4 times what i should.
Too funny! In fact, I do have an 11 month old who almost never sleeps through the night. Plus, my wife works nights. Yet I still find enough strength to go to the gym.
